Still wondering what the F to get your child for the holidays this season? If you’ve read any of my prior holiday pieces, you’ll see that he’s not the easiest to find out (or is one to just give a full list of circled toys in a magazine). Besides using Santa to pull out the usual toy car, Lego, books items, there is always something that he gets that doesn’t… Keep Reading
Have yourself a merry little holiday soiree
It’s here. The H word. The holidays are just bursting with so much sparkle and shine that it can’t contain itself to December let alone after Thanksgiving anymore. And who’s really complaining? I’ll take my turkey with a side of (Southern) comfort and joy any day. Because when it comes down to it – if I didn’t go out and celebrate, I would be on my couch at home working… Keep Reading
Chick-fil-A just made your next party popping
Now that I am in my mid-30s (yes, middle-aged and fabulous over here!), I am allowed to admit and say, as you get older you get wiser. I’ve lived long enough to realize this. And that also, time and quality of life (especially as a mom) usually wins, too. I want to enjoy spending what time I have with my family and friends – and being disconnected. And while I… Keep Reading
Yes, it’s okay to have your tailgate catered and here’s why…
Football season is here – even if the black and yellow might have missed the memo. Not to fear, no fair-weathered fans here. With or without Bell on the field, AB drama and Ben sporting an injury (as usual), we are still ready to rock each week in our yinzer favorites. Whether it’s at the game, at home or watching the game in a local bar (or the NFL app… Keep Reading
When was the last time you tried something new?
“When was the last time you tried something new?” Those were the first and last words I heard before the horns went off and we started our jog into the unknown. And I think it’s the best way to really put into words what it’s like to do a Tough Mudder. You don’t need to be a bodybuilder or marathon runner. You don’t even need to be in good shape….

This summer camp in NYC is a kids’ (and parent!) dream
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
The Must-Have Items from the 2018 NY Baby Show
It’s impressive how fast baby items can update and change – with innovation changing within months, attending shows and conferences like the NY Baby Show are necessary to see what’s new and up and coming. It’s also a really a fun job in the parenting world – who doesn’t like to test drive strollers and look at cute new onsies (baby fever, anyone?). But among all the tried and true… Keep Reading
How this one thing will boost quality family time
Home is where the heart is. But we haven’t been really feeling our home. It’s been a long 2018. It kicked off with us having to move unexpectedly, and in a matter of 15 days. Even in NYC time, that’s fast as F. Not to mention, I came down with the flu right in the middle of it. Like I couldn’t move from my bed had to have friends help… Keep Reading
How confident are you your child won’t give into smoking?
This post was sponsored by Tobacco Free New York State as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. All opinions expressed in my post are my own. The average age of a new smoker in New York State is 13 years old. And I know this to be true. I was that kid. Well, I think I was 15 because I remember smoking in my best friends car when she would drive…. Keep Reading
