The more you try to carve out time, it seems the less you have to spend. What happened to those days in my twenties when I had nothing to do but lay around all day hungover and watch movies and eat fast food? According to the NY Post, families get an average of 37 minutes of quality time together a day. That’s it. Okay, so they say it goes up… Keep Reading
New Yorkers love NYC for all the crazy things you get out of city life – we thrive on crowded subways, cafes on every corner, Broadway and smelly cabs. But for all the things I love about the city, we still need escapes. You know what I mean – I call It the itch. When all the bums, honking and hot sidewalks finally get the best of you and need… Keep Reading
Ever walk into your home and be welcomed by a weird (gross) smell? We’ve all been there. Whether it was that new recipe you tried last night, the wafting aromas of the Hudson River, or.. is that? Yep. The bag of little league gear. Maybe it’s all of the above. Motherhood is always fun of full surprises. No one told me about stank. But alas, I am confronted with it… Keep Reading
Growing up with freckles, I was always the first to burn every summer (still am!). It was still cool to layout and tan with baby oil in the 90s (or in my case, ride around on the lawn mower with my walkman and oil), and I took the first burn as a badge of honor, which I am now paying for with all the lovely skin damage to my chest….

This post was sponsored by Tobacco Free New York State as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Smoking. It seems just such a non-important issue. Until you have kids. Until you realize how easy for them to pick it up and notice it at 13 because that’s when you started smoking yourself. Until you realize how much advertising… Keep Reading
Math – it’s a complicated subject (in more ways than one). You either love it or hate it, but there’s no avoiding it. For some reason, Max actually LOVES math. He literally stood up for a talent show last weekend and did a math problem (who brought that kid!?). So what does a mom do with a kid who LOVES math – you get him enrolled in a math class… Keep Reading
We’re all guilty of it. We’re at the pool or beach and finally relaxing. Our kids are playing – everyone’s happy and then there we are – back on our phones. Aimlessly scrolling through FB from the pristine white beaches instead of watching our children play in the water. Or even being present. It’s not to make you feel bad, it’s just a sad truth that even myself fall into…. Keep Reading
The incredible, edible egg. For years, eggs have been a huge source of protein for me. Growing up on a farm, we were surrounded by eggs and basically had them every morning for breakfast. In fact, I can still make the best scrambled egg breakfast sandwich you’ve ever had. And includes eggs, cheddar, and peanut butter. Years ago people looked at me like WTF. Today, that’s basically a keto breakfast… Keep Reading
I received this product from Moms Meet to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links. Allergies are something new I’ve discovered. It started about two years ago when all of a sudden I was having a hard time running and breathing. I felt I was in good shape, so I didn’t understand why I was having such hard breathing… Keep Reading
I love May. I get the full month to ME. Mother’s Day, Memorial Day weekend, my birthday… it’s just one long month of celebrations, gifts and fun. But let’s talk about Mother’s Day. Frankly, I just want to relax this year. I don’t want an overpriced salad where I have to wait in line and then be rushed out. I don’t want overpriced flowers that will die in two days. … Keep Reading
