Yes, there is an app for everything these days, and living in NYC, we usually get to test them out before the rest of the world. We’re just lucky to have more people per square-foot than almost any other place on the planet. Being a New Yorker, sometimes I forget that we are the “unusual” ones (preschool admissions, $3,000 a month for a tiny apartment). When friends come to visit… Keep Reading
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Hershey’s KISSES Deluxe. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Maximo is a lover (well, and maybe also a fighter). He is one of the sweetest kids in his class and always says goodbye to his classmates with hugs or kisses before he goes home. As a three-year-old… Keep Reading
Sometimes New York gets a bad name, and people think it’s impossible to raise a family here. It’s true, sometimes it’s not easy, but I think overall Raising kids in NYC is pretty good – and have a lot of help. I don’t know how I would survive honestly having to drive to get my Starbucks fix every am, when I can just grab it on every corner. 1. Seamless.com… Keep Reading
Friday afternoon, someone stole our beloved stroller from in front of Maximo’s preschool. It really only hit me over the weekend how much that stroller has been through with us, and I honestly was sad and pretty upset to see it go. Usually I don’t get that mad because it’s material things, but this was a $250 UPPAbaby G-lite, so apparently someone knew that it was worth money. Lesson learned…. Keep Reading
I was just chatting the other day about how you now have to plan for a character lunch at Disney World over six months in advance – six! I know when I was a kid I met them, and I know for damn sure my parents we’re planning ANYTHING six months in advance. Times are changing, and it’s inevitable that we have to change with it – and become more… Keep Reading
Ok, so maybe you didn’t grow up in PA and a Rocky junkie like me, but that song and these steps have always been a motivating movie moment in my life. Living in Pittsburgh, I’ve had the chance to run these steps a few times, but today, it was more important to me. I realized that I have the opportunity and the strength to still run up these with momentum…. Keep Reading
Growing up on a dairy farm myself, I can appreciate the hard work and perseverance that Stew Leonard’s has shown over the years. When Stew Sr. moved to CT and started delivering milk on his own in 1921 with his farm Clover Farms Dairy, he didn’t realize it would turn into one of the world’s favorite farm-to-take grocery stores. And for good reason – cause even today, it’s a little… Keep Reading
Swimming. Is it something we take for granted? We consider lake and beach trips vacations, love to spend time and money on luxury items like boating, fishing and even our own backyard pools. Being surrounded by water is something we just play into our daily lives (I mean, we DO live on an island!). But the trends are speaking. Did you know that currently, almost 10 people drown every day in… Keep Reading
When was the last time you went somewhere and didn’t take any photos, any videos – and just lived in the moment. You just took the chance on banking on your memory to remind you of the sacred pieces of time you would never want to forget. This is what I did in June. Okay, so I took SOME photos. But there are a few trips you didn’t even know… Keep Reading
I learned to swim when I was about 4 or 5 years old. The memory is burned into my memory like a branding stick to a steer. It was at Thiel College’s indoor pool and I was there with my aunt. They told me to jump into the water and she would catch me. She didn’t. I went under. Obviously I came up. I think I still hold a wee… Keep Reading
