If you’re going to hibernate from the New York City cold, at least do so in Broadway theater! On February 11, some friends from outer-space will be visiting for one day only at the Playstation Theater. This intergalactic family with fins is on a mission – to help save Earth, and they need us New Yorkers to join in the quest. Here’s why you’ll want to join us and… Keep Reading
Recently I hit a rough patch in my life, I came back to New York City after quitting my job at NY1 and backpacking through Asia for six months. I came back for love, and then two months later we had the inevitable tragic breakup that happens in your late 20s when it’s either forever or never. Consequently, I’ve been living on my savings, jobless, loveless and chasing a dream… Keep Reading
Last weekend I tried something new for training (as I’m notorious to try crazy new athletic things like aerial yoga, tree climbing and bouldering…). Somehow, I’ve never participated in one of those mud runs -you know, where you literally jump in pools of mud – and when I was invited to the Poconos to try one (and we all know the Poconos is my happy place), I couldn’t resist seeing… Keep Reading
150 years ago it was 1866. That’s when William A. Breyer hand-cranked his first gallon of ice cream with fresh cream and pure cane sugar (and now Breyers Ice Cream is the maker of Americas No. 1 Vanilla ice cream!). I just want to take a minute to thank this man – and for thinking that churning cream and sugar and then freezing it sounded like a delicious idea. First of all,… Keep Reading
Let’s be honest, our little urbanite children are growing up a bit soft. I realized this the other day when I was adventuring out in the middle of no where with Max myself and we had the chance to stay at this gorgeous bed and breakfast. It was so obsolete of existence that they didn’t even have wifi or cell phone service. THE HORROR. All they had was one lowly… Keep Reading
Since I am deep into hibernation mode, I actually have some time to sit down and talk to you. Hibernation for me = staycation in New York City for sixty days. For these two months I try not to travel any further than the Metro North, or LIRR can take me. There are no suitcases, and I always sleep in my own bed. It’s the opposite of traveling for some….

It’s that time of year again! The holidays are quickly closing in on us as we see trees going up, ice skating rinks opening, and holiday shops popping up. Being a train addict, Maximo’s obvious favorite exhibit (that he looks forward to every year!) is the Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Gardens. Not just for kids, this amazing display of NYC landmarks – made completely out of… Keep Reading
No one paid me to say this – Hudson Valley NY is one of the most beautiful places in the world. And I’ve seen quite a few places. The greatest secret about New York City isn’t the food and culture you’ll find among the city streets – it’s all the amazingly beautiful and historical places to visit surrounding it. From the Vanderbilt Museums in Long Island, to the Hampton’s (West… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year again – the air gets chilly, you pull out leggings, Uggs, decorate your house with leaves and eat/drink everything pumpkin. Or apple. It’s prime time crisp apple season, y’all! Growing up on the farm, picking fruit off trees and bushes was a daily task. If you saw blackberries growing along the side of the road as you were walking, you best be sure you were… Keep Reading
As you get older, ideas and things change. I know, shocker. But Jay-Z said it best in his 30-something song – the way you look at life just evolves. Such as, in my twenties I was bartending and out till 4am every night, and now I am a mom who wants to run a marathon. At 34, I’m pretty much in the best shape I’ve been in since I was… Keep Reading
