This is the year of you, right? Or, it was supposed to be. For all those missed yoga classes, skipped naps and late nights making last-minute bake sale cookies – this year, it’s all about you. Trust me, Amazon has you covered with SAME DAY shipping for toys, so you don’t even need to stress. Let’s focus on the things that are going to carry you over the finish line… Keep Reading
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
It’s officially 63 days till Christmas (but who’s counting?). There are two kinds of holiday shoppers – those who prefer stores, and those who prefer online. Since I do most of my shopping online here in NYC, it’s a real treat to hit up the stores and take in all the visuals, especially for the holidays. It’s sensory overload for us New Yorkers – in a good way. I am… Keep Reading
There are two types of eaters in the world – those who have to separate their food and those who love to just make a huge pile and dive in. I am the latter – the more food the better and let all the flavors run together. That’s why it’s hard during the holidays for me to make just ONE cookie. I end up slaving away all day with thousands… Keep Reading
As if shopping in New York City wasn’t a hit to your wallet as is, the holidays really take it out on your bank account with their holiday markets and pop-ups. But let’s be honest – that’s why we live here and we love all these cool things only being a short cab or subway ride away. For this holiday season, there are three that should really be on your… Keep Reading
Dr Pepper Snapple Group® sponsored this post. All opinions are mine and mine alone. If you haven’t noticed, the current trend is to seek happiness. Individual happiness. But I think the secret is in our relationships. No matter how exhausted you feel after cooking and cleaning for 20 people in your home all day for Thanksgiving, or how horrible your last road trip with three moms and five kids was,… Keep Reading
Free Range: (of livestock, especially poultry) kept in natural conditions, with freedom of movement. (of eggs) produced by birds reared under natural conditions. I remember the first time I heard the word “free range.” I was confused by the definition. Growing up on a farm, that was just common sense – there was no definition because we never thought to raise our animals any other way. And listen, I have… Keep Reading
Because you can never really have enough holiday gift ideas. Or parties! At least I can’t because I am (1) the world’s worst gift giver and (2) never have time to research and get creative. So I depend on these lists. And I know you hear me out there – you depend on them, too! So after crashing the annual Momtrends Holiday Party (even after trail biking all day upstate… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com. I am basically the worst gift giver out there. I am terrible at ideas, wait till the last minute, and apparently don’t listen and make lists on what people really love in order to get it for them. But people are HARD to shop for, and in the world where you can get anything literally within the same day or next day delivery, it’s hard… Keep Reading
When I say my son has become a water park connoisseur by the age of five, it’s a status earned. He has visited many across the country, some more than once, and can give you a detailed breakdown of everything he loves (or doesn’t love) about each one. But one of my all-time favorites to top the list over and over is Great Wolf Lodge. It really comes down… Keep Reading
