Admit: I have never gotten a flu shot. Ever (in my defense I grew up on a farm – we didn’t run to doctors for things like this!). Last winter I got the flu for the first time ever. It is worse than anyone ever described. I won’t go into full detail because it is too much TMI, but let’s just say – there were signs it was coming. The… Keep Reading
It’s the year of self-wellness, and well, it’s almost November so if you haven’t taken advantage of this free hall pass to rest, relax and take care of yourself, mom – here’s your motivation. If you have been fitting in your energy healing, Barry’s Bootcamp, half marathon training and the occasion spa date like myself – good for you! But that doesn’t you can’t do more. I guarantee as a… Keep Reading
Can you ever have too many books? As an avid book reader (who also loves the feel of real books), I’m always looking for a new collection of reads for myself, and now the newest reader of the house – my first grader, Maximo. If you get sucked into buying new books as easily as I do, watching out – these books are totally perfect for the little readers in… Keep Reading
Everyone knows the Vitamix as the supreme blender/mixer do-it-all tool for the kitchen, but are you actually using it? Not much intimidates me, but I wasn’t sure how to really get into the mix of this fancy machinery. I tried making smoothies, but they just weren’t coming out perfect – maybe I was adding too much since it was so big? Blended soups were no problem – my Butternut… Keep Reading
Alll the joys of BTS (back to school for you NOOBS) are here people! Schedules, homework, tests and yes, school lunches. I didn’t realize that going to our school meant making school lunches for basically the rest of my life. That’s a commitment, so anything making that morning routine easier is MUSIC TO MY EARS. But I also have a picky eater. So all those fancy cute lunches you parents… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Riondo Prosecco. All opinions are 100% mine. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that National Prosecco Day falls in the middle of August. August is like one long Sunday where you know school is just looming in the shadows. And August is hot – too hot sometimes that it’s just the perfect excuse (especially when it falls on a… Keep Reading
I still remember my first A&W Root Beer Float. A&W Root Beer was a favorite of dads, and he no regards when teaching me how to love and perfect the root beer float. Ice cold mugs, soda and vanilla ice cream because a special treat between just him and I over the years, and I remember watching him carefully scoop the ice cream into the tall frosty mugs only to… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Plan Against Pain and Momsmeet.com. All opinions are my own. Childbirth is one of those rare moments in life that is truly only yours. No one will ever have the same experience, and to anyone who has – they will tell you incredible tales of survival, love, pain and even out of body experiences. All of it is worth it. However, one… Keep Reading
Summer. It’s amazing how you view it differently over the years. As a kid you can’t wait to sleep in and not have homework and as an adult, we just dread the humidity and heat blasts in the underground subways. And the fact that we as adults, still have to work through these dawg days of summer adds insult to injury. So welcome to summer camp season here in NYC –… Keep Reading
We all remember the first time we tried pot. At least for me, all I wanted was food and to sleep and couldn’t physically get up from a chair for over an hour at a house party when I was about 16 or 17. I didn’t like it. And I haven’t really ever been into the drug since – I’ve tried to be cool over the year but yep, never… Keep Reading
