Less scrolling. More living.
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
As a teenager, I remember feeling like my parents were still treating me like a baby and all I wanted to do was openly resist all of their rules and scream at the top of my lungs to listen to me and see that I wasn’t a baby anymore! Or in the words of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s newest Broadway musical School of Rock, “Stick it To The Man!” School of… 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
This post was sponsored by Samsung as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Tax season. Ranks up there as the two most scariest words. Like “you’re fired,” “ketchup’s out” and “call 9-1-1!” But tax season doesn’t always have to be scary – if you’re doing it right. And having a good accountant is key to educate you. If… Keep Reading
I remember the first time I met Mike and Mike (yes, the FIRST time). These dudes really helped me fall in love with sports because they are real – dudes being doods. And basically, coming from Pittsburgh, that’s how we all talk to each other. Sports is part of your dinner conversations right after “how was work/school?” – “hey did you see that play last night by Geno?” And now they’re… Keep Reading
My days rarely center around one certain thing. I’m like a trapeze artist juggling flaming batons with weights on my ankles at any given time. Then, Valentine’s Day rolls around and the focus is on showing everyone else how much you love them. That’s all fine and dandy, we’ve got a lot of love to give; however, often times we ladies forget to love ourselves. We’re constantly being pulled in… Keep Reading
It’s time for a lot of B, people. Bikinis, butts, Boudreaux, booty, bounce, #breaktheinternet, BE BETTER. This is the year that you (yes, YOU!) will start to take better care of yourself. Not just having that green cold-pressed juice for lunch or trying the Whole30 diet – but actually CHANGING your lifestyle for the better. Making healthier and better habits will lead to lifelong change – right? *Yawn* I know… Keep Reading
I am not really sure if it’s age, becoming a mom or both – but as I’m heading towards the higher end of the 30s this year, health has become a huge component of our lives way more than ever. Even though I grew up on a farm and ate “farm to table” literally everyday, we will still had things like soda and Crisco in the cupboards. Yes. My gram… Keep Reading
How are those resolutions coming along? If you’re like me, by this time of the year it’s getting harder and harder to stick to New Year’s resolutions. That’s why I stopped setting them a long time ago and I just try to take little steps on a daily basis to improve my life. From not having that extra scoop of ice cream, better time management and even simply taking the… Keep Reading
