Been thinking about grabbing a Citi Bike membership with all the expansions into the boroughs? The ever-increasing public transportation fees has brought New Yorkers to the point of seeking out other options to get around, and it’s almost impossible not to jump into this trend – but just do so with some bike safety facts. While you’re out and about – notice the new wrapped docks from Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored Tai Pei, all opinions expressed in my post are my own. It’s been a crazy year 2017, but you don’t need me to explain that to you. It’s been hard for everyone – not only on a social and worldly level, but personal as well. We’ve been running around up and down and across the country and lately it’s been hard to know which way is… Keep Reading
While you may see a lot of shops closing up (like the Toys R Us bankruptcy), luckily a lot of local shops in NYC are still thriving, and offering the selection of clothing for both boys and girls that you would expect from a trendy New York children’ boutique. We’ve always loved Tribeca for these pop-in shopping such as Polarn O. Pyret and now everafter. While I love a cheap $6… Keep Reading
If you don’t realize by now that I am a huge advocate for farmers – here’s another fun post for you. We have been big fans of Stonyfield, especially their YoKids line, since Max was a baby – and continue to still pack them in school lunches. Not only are they organic farmers (and the world’s largest organic yogurt producer), they love to give back and help the planet, too…. Keep Reading
In partnership with Workman Publishing. While attending a group dinner last night full of NYC editors, we all went around the family-style dinner table and shared what meal we remembered from our childhood that really defined us growing up. It was very interesting to hear such variety – from moms who only cooked take-out, to those who suffered through their moms’ horribly plain 80s-dieting phase to those parents (yes, dads, too!) who really… Keep Reading
The other day we were back home in the middle of farming fields at the church for my father’s funeral, and my son saw me start to tear up while standing up front to greet people. He immediately came up to me with a box of tissues and said, “Don’t cry, Mommy.” I thought it was the sweetest thing – until I saw him walk around and offer every single person… Keep Reading
Over here in Astoria, we’ve been huge Lyft fans for a long long time. Basically since they day Lyft arrived on the scene. We happen to live not-so-close to the subway (ok about a 15 min walk which I actually like AND we happen to have a building shuttle that takes us there). But! Sometimes – we miss it, it’s raining, we’re late for school or need to get to… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored #ad post by Meredith on behalf of Jif, New Balance, Munchkin, SwaddleMe and Visit Williamsburg – but seriously aren’t all these things awesome? All opinions are my own. How many times do you attempt a girls night out as a mom at the age of 36? I text my fellow mom friends at least once a week saying let’s have coffee, drinks or dinner, but each… Keep Reading
As a type-A personality, I love to plan and prepare and organize. Figuring out life is like a challenging and fun Tetris game that amuses me, but there are still some things in life you just can’t plan for – like losing a parent unexpectedly. I’ve had a flood of emotions and memories from my childhood, some good, some bad, but all bittersweet. You can’t help to feel the guilt… Keep Reading
September and the forthcoming fall means a reset for us back at home. We get so swept away in summer travel, bad eating habits and lax exercise schedules that back-to-school also brings a nice structured scheduled back into our lives. I may thrive in chaos, but I still love a good organized week. This also includes scheduling meals in advance and prepping those meals on Sunday – preferably during a… Keep Reading
