Let’s be honest, our little urbanite children are growing up a bit soft. I realized this the other day when I was adventuring out in the middle of no where with Max myself and we had the chance to stay at this gorgeous bed and breakfast. It was so obsolete of existence that they didn’t even have wifi or cell phone service. THE HORROR. All they had was one lowly… Keep Reading
I am a boy mom. And happy about that for many reasons. Because girls can be hard. Especially when it comes to clothes. I know this because I once was one. Thankfully in age of technology and online shopping, there are more options than my Levi’s at Sears. Meet kidpik – a subscription-based monthly box of clothes shipped right to your door, and custom curated based on your tastes. For… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year again! The holidays are quickly closing in on us as we see trees going up, ice skating rinks opening, and holiday shops popping up.

Not just for kids, this amazing display of NYC landmarks – made completely out of… Keep Reading
After you run a half marathon and the runner’s high is long gone and the glory of the medal seems to just hang in your bedroom’s back wall, I wondered, “how am I going to keep myself in check and in shape throughout the winter?” Let’s be honest – winter is hard. There are lots of carbs to be eaten, darkness and SAD set in fast, and it’s not easy… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year again – the air gets chilly, you pull out leggings, Uggs, decorate your house with leaves and eat/drink everything pumpkin. Or apple. It’s prime time crisp apple season, y’all! Growing up on the farm, picking fruit off trees and bushes was a daily task. If you saw blackberries growing along the side of the road as you were walking, you best be sure you were… Keep Reading
Peep! Peep! Thomas the Tank Engine is steaming his way around the country this summer on his annual Day Out With Thomas Tour and this year he’s celebrating 70 years of friendship with his friends! That’s right—you and the kids can jump on the real steam engine pulled passenger train for a tour of the countryside!

If you happen to be walking on 19th Street and 10th Avenue right under the High Line and see a random, suburban-looking house that doesn’t seem to belong in New York City, you might want to walk over and investigate. Yayoi Kusama’s “Give Me Love” installation is hiding behind those inconspicuous walls at the David Zwirner Gallery in Chelsea. It’s super kid-friendly and we guarantee you’re going to want to… Keep Reading
Baby products might update and change faster than technology – and since I have preggo and new moms out there – it’s necessary to pass along all the new goodies I come across – cause everything I had just three years ago with Max is totally outdated already. (AND NO- I’m not one of the pregnant ones since I know you’re wondering). t’s just part of my job – being… Keep Reading

Can Do Duck: The Musical—a new show for kids that has one of the most uplifting and positive messages we’ve seen in awhile! (Don’t say we didn’t warn you to bring some tissues.) Here’s why you’ll want to grab a ticket to this musical playing at the… Keep Reading
