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
Fun Fact: When I was just a mere five years old, we moved to Colorado. And not only did I see mountains for the first time, I saw Walmart. I will always remember this wondrous place. We didn’t have ANYTHING like it back home in Pennsylvania, and it was fascinating for a child – they had EVERYTHING! In one place! Especially in Colorado where things are so spread out, it… Keep Reading
It seems the Big Game was strategically planned to occur during the perfect time of year. By the end of February, everyone is giving up on their resolutions. It’s cold. It’s dark. And all we want is to mindlessly binge eat while watching our black and yellow march a few steps closer to that final game. So what does one do? You battle cabin fever with edible crafts (Who builds… Keep Reading
It’s pretty embarrassing, but honestly, sometimes it takes another mom company like Momtrends to PLAN an event to get me to actually allow a night out in the city anymore. With school five days a week, work busy as ever and a committed fitness routine, I am in a groove that really doesn’t allow for the fun and glamours social life that us moms are entitled to. Yes, even in… Keep Reading
Last weekend I tried something new for training (as I’m notorious to try crazy new athletic things like aerial yoga, tree climbing and bouldering…). Somehow, I’ve never participated in one of those mud runs -you know, where you literally jump in pools of mud – and when I was invited to the Poconos to try one (and we all know the Poconos is my happy place), I couldn’t resist seeing… Keep Reading
Usually I save movies for Apple TV and my couch, but last week we decided to beat the heat and head indoors for an icy cool afternoon in the Ice Age for a sneak peek at the latest summer blockbuster for kids. The newest film in this series, Collision Course is now in theaters and here’s why you’ll wanna grab some ice pops and watch it will the kids! What… Keep Reading
150 years ago it was 1866. That’s when William A. Breyer hand-cranked his first gallon of ice cream with fresh cream and pure cane sugar (and now Breyers Ice Cream is the maker of Americas No. 1 Vanilla ice cream!). I just want to take a minute to thank this man – and for thinking that churning cream and sugar and then freezing it sounded like a delicious idea. First of all,… Keep Reading
Oh the life of a journalist/editor/socialite/mom. It’s hard living the lives we do (literally I am writing this before I jump in the car to drive seven hours to Pittsburgh!) but it’s all about the journey not the destination, right? I may live in NYC, but I travel for work (and pleasure) at least twice a month if not more sometimes, and life on the road can be tiresome,… Keep Reading
I can binge watch horror movies for days on end and still sleep at night, so when I tell you this newest Broadway show, Bright Star, had my emotions in knots, you know I mean it. Prepare for a roller coaster of emotions throughout this split time frame of unfortunate lovers growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina as they tell their stories (and some they might… Keep Reading
NYC. The city of dreams, bums and lots of concrete. It may always look appealing to the outsider (trust me, it’s still appealing to the millions of us who live here or we wouldn’t be paying what we pay), but I always try to point out the realism. We’re not rushing off to beautiful art gallery openings in Louboutins every single day. Nor are we taking horse and carriage rides… Keep Reading
