The holidays came in hot this year, not that many are complaining. It also means SNOW and ski season is right around the corner. While we’ve taken a step back these last couple years in large, over-the-top festive celebrations, we’ve reconnected with family and friends more than ever. We’ve realized that spending a few uninterrupted quiet moments under a tree sharing a snack together means a lot more than stressful… Keep Reading

Crafting is for the brave and courageous. While I like to claim those quality characteristics, crafting just has never fallen into my column of “strengths.” Alas, I am a mom, and thus, I try and try again. I have lots of #nailedit moments and while Max is already 7, he still beams with pride to anything homemade we craft together to show off to his school peers (while I cringe… Keep Reading
Alas, it’s that time of year again – whether you love or hate holiday shopping. I kept it simple and easy this year so you can just be one and done and head off to do what really matters – drink and avoid your relatives. Family Matching Pajamas You know you’re going to participate – willingly or not, so why not have some fun with it this year? Instead of… Keep Reading
Gift-giving is hard AF, right? Unless you are some special Pinterest loving enthusiast with the crafting skills level Martha Stewart, it’s hard to know what to ever give those who are most dear to you. Which is sort of messed up, right? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. But, since we can’t just gift private islands in the Caribbean, let’s start small – it’s the thought that counts. Especially when… Keep Reading
NYC is magical for the holidays. Among the crowded city streets, there are just so many twinkles and sparkles, holiday markets, and decorated storefronts and windows galore it’s easy to remember how fun holiday shopping can (and should!) be. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll always be a fan of two-day shipping, but for the holidays, there’s something that’s missing when you shop online – the actual shopping. There is something… Keep Reading
Question – Who else has a child who (clearly) loves gifts for the holidays but yet, isn’t like us and flipped through the magazine pages and circled basically – everything? I am the mom who needs a little help from the big man to get the list of coveted items, and I lean in as I hear him whisper his treasures to Santa himself. It’s December [xx] and we’ve already… Keep Reading
The holidays are always a great excuse for indulging a little more, and for us, it’s holiday cookies. Who doesn’t love a good sugar cookie? But sometimes, finding all the time to bake them can be difficult among holiday plays, shows and shopping (and Santa!). So there is no harm in skipping a step is there? Why bake when Little Bites has come out with Sugar Cookie muffins for the… Keep Reading
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

And like any typical parent out there, you’re already starting to sweat over toy shopping, or you’re in denial about it and will wait till the last minute and throw your stress levels into overdrive. Don’t be like Arnold. The best way to attack holiday shopping… Keep Reading
