“When was the last time you tried something new?” Those were the first and last words I heard before the horns went off and we started our jog into the unknown. And I think it’s the best way to really put into words what it’s like to do a Tough Mudder. You don’t need to be a bodybuilder or marathon runner. You don’t even need to be in good shape….

Because when you have six-year-old boys in your house, you start to learn about all the weird toys on the market and how kids just LOVE stuff like this. In the year of 2018, it’s the more weird and bizarre it is, the cooler it is – so enter on the market something as redic as Zits. For the pre-puberty child who doesn’t really have to worry about these yet… Keep Reading
I have a love-hate for running. When I tell friends this – they look at me shocked – why would I run if I don’t love it? Well, I think there are a lot of folds to this – and many of them are mental, not physical. Running is all about mental capacity. If you tell yourself you’re running 20 miles today, you will do it. If you get up… Keep Reading
Been thinking about grabbing a Citi Bike membership with all the expansions into the boroughs? The ever-increasing public transportation fees has brought New Yorkers to the point of seeking out other options to get around, and it’s almost impossible not to jump into this trend – but just do so with some bike safety facts.

I think it’s safe to say that every parent wants their child to learn how to swim. But really – how do you DO that? We’ve tried a couple classes here and there since Max was born, and I remember vaguely going to classes as a child myself. They weren’t so nice back then and I still remember jumping in when they said they would catch me and I went… Keep Reading

They say to survive you need three things: food water and shelter. And when it comes to travel, we’ve mastered the art of efficiency and basically following the same guidelines that I do with writing – KISS. Keep It Simple, Stupid. Don’t take everything including the kitchen sink, just know what essentials are necessary. Here are my eight must-have components to going camping/hiking/into the great outdoors. Plus, they’re just good… Keep Reading
As a teenager, I remember feeling like my parents were still treating me like a baby and all I wanted to do was openly resist all of their rules and scream at the top of my lungs to listen to me and see that I wasn’t a baby anymore! Or in the words of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s newest Broadway musical School of Rock, “Stick it To The Man!” School of… Keep Reading
I remember the first time I met Mike and Mike (yes, the FIRST time). These dudes really helped me fall in love with sports because they are real – dudes being doods. And basically, coming from Pittsburgh, that’s how we all talk to each other. Sports is part of your dinner conversations right after “how was work/school?” – “hey did you see that play last night by Geno?” And now they’re… Keep Reading
When you look at these – I hope you see the immense pride I have in them being a NON-creative mom. I also post this to prove that yes you – YOU – can make these as well. Because, if I can get crafty – ANYONE can. Put me in the kitchen? Masterpiece. Put me in front of a craft store and a Pinterest page, you’re lucky if I come… Keep Reading
