Thank you Poise® for sponsoring this post. Follow Poise on Facebook and Twitter and share how you Seize Your #PoiseMoment. Light. Bladder. Leakage. It’s like a bad word but it’s way more common than you would think among women – and not just with those who give birth. LBL is something that affects 1 in 3 women. Many women aren’t comfortable talking about light bladder leakage, but Poise® knows that for… Keep Reading
You see it in the news, on your Facebook feed and through whispers at school all too often. A child has a medical emergency and the parents don’t have enough money to cover it. It’s scary and we all just kind of put our heads down and feel bad for them, hoping IF it happens to us that insurance or our money nest will cover it. But what if it… Keep Reading
Every year it gets worse and worse – the dreaded birthday planning for the kids. And as they get older, they have more opinions, want more things…. birthdays are so out of hand it’s almost like planning a wedding once a year six months in advance. Over it. This year, I am taking birthday’s back and celebrating – you guessed it – ME. BM (Before Maximo) I used to celebrate… Keep Reading
Being that Pittsburgh’s Stanley Cup winning hockey team is named after this cute water bird (or is it mammal?), we’ve always been big fans of penguins. Frankly who isn’t? April 25 is World Penguin Day – and while Pittsburgh doesn’t need any help with their PENS, the birds around the world could use our love to help keep them from extinction. Stonyfield YoKids is sponsoring the AZA SAFE (Saving Animals from Extinction)… Keep Reading
It’s amazing how many miles you can log traveling without even owning a car. But I think that’s the thrill in it – finding out what we will get to drive next and seeing which vehicles I love most. I admit it, I am still and always will be the Hummer fan (and still miss it dearly) I was in 2008, but with age comes knowledge and practicality. Sometimes oversized… Keep Reading
Fact: There are 12 million single families in the U.S. That means there’s a lot of eligible single dads right? But wait – who has time to actually DATE? Don’t get too excited: Eighty-four percent (9.8 million) of single parent households are single mother families with only a mere 16 percent are single father families.[1] Woof. It gets worse. The 2013 median income for families led by a single mother… Keep Reading
Whoever still things working out is some lug in gym grunting or the never-ending stair climber obviously doesn’t live in NYC. Every week there is a new form of fitness popping up – and I’m always game to try it. From aerial yoga to booting popping with a live DJ to now surfing – yes SURFING – I can only imagine what’s next. Surprisingly, I never thought I would be… Keep Reading
Habits. It’s wild to think how they actually happen. One day you’re a few (okay maybe more than a few!) pounds overweight after pregnancy and then poof – you find yourself basically addicted to working out every day. And you get this weird itch on days you don’t. It’s not a guilty itch – it’s more like any other habit – if you skip coffee or sugar one day –… Keep Reading
If you haven’t heard lately – I am a dairy lover. Born and raised with the cows themselves, I have always found plenty reasons to keep milk items in my fridge. From those frothy days of fresh cream skimmed right off the top of the bucket (true story!) to fresh churned butter and creamy yogurts, the kitchen has and always will be full of happy cow products. I might be… Keep Reading
I know I can’t be the only one who love breakfast food, and please *raise your hand* if you love to make breakfast for dinner! And in honor of National Hot Breakfast Month (oh yes, it’s a holiday people!), we’ve decided to swap breakfast foods for dinner instead once a week all month! In fact, tonight it’s steak and eggs (for mom) while Max will be having some more Krusteaz… Keep Reading
