The more you try to carve out time, it seems the less you have to spend. What happened to those days in my twenties when I had nothing to do but lay around all day hungover and watch movies and eat fast food? According to the NY Post, families get an average of 37 minutes of quality time together a day. That’s it. Okay, so they say it goes up… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Blue Diamond® as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Summer is known for rooftop spritzers, sandy days at the beach and park bbqs. So where does a plant-based diet fit into all of these? A lot of advice says to bring your own food to parties so you have something to eat. While that works for… Keep Reading
Ever walk into your home and be welcomed by a weird (gross) smell? We’ve all been there. Whether it was that new recipe you tried last night, the wafting aromas of the Hudson River, or.. is that? Yep. The bag of little league gear. Maybe it’s all of the above. Motherhood is always fun of full surprises. No one told me about stank. But alas, I am confronted with it… Keep Reading
Growing up with freckles, I was always the first to burn every summer (still am!). It was still cool to layout and tan with baby oil in the 90s (or in my case, ride around on the lawn mower with my walkman and oil), and I took the first burn as a badge of honor, which I am now paying for with all the lovely skin damage to my chest….

Growing up in Pittsburgh, we were always huge football fans. It wasn’t until Max was born and I lived in NYC that I learned what the real meaning behind “futbol” was. This sport was HUGE. Almost bigger than Steeler Nation. And with Maximo’s family being from two large soccer countries – Uruguay and Guatemala – this sport was quickly loved in the home. What isn’t there to love about soccer?… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Tobacco Free New York State as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Smoking. It seems just such a non-important issue. Until you have kids. Until you realize how easy for them to pick it up and notice it at 13 because that’s when you started smoking yourself. Until you realize how much advertising… Keep Reading
In 2019, everyone is feeling the need to “do it all.” And you know what I mean. We’re talking insane levels of reality like bounce back from having a baby to present to the world within hours, look like you’re about to walk the red carpet at school drop off, bake Food Network worthy birthday cakes. So when do you have time to get to your perfectly curated yoga class… Keep Reading
Love to eat donuts by the pool? This summer you’re saying F the bikini and embracing the mom bod? Then I am about to make your summer dreams come true. Remember how you love to love to dunk your donut in cheese sauce? Or how you sprinkle it with broken candy canes left over from Christmas – in July?! Well, now you can stop wondering if the world will love… Keep Reading
Back in the 90s we loved getting weird. We had ouija boards, colored jeans and Doc Martens. We also had a weirdly dark and grungy love affair, and death was strangely “popular” in song lyrics and movies (Nirvana or Nine Inch Nails, anyone?) Regardless, we loved it and still laugh about our trend choices today. But – is it making a comeback? Nirvana tees have never gone out of style… Keep Reading
Math – it’s a complicated subject (in more ways than one). You either love it or hate it, but there’s no avoiding it. For some reason, Max actually LOVES math. He literally stood up for a talent show last weekend and did a math problem (who brought that kid!?). So what does a mom do with a kid who LOVES math – you get him enrolled in a math class… Keep Reading
