“When was the last time you tried something new?” Those were the first and last words I heard before the horns went off and we started our jog into the unknown. And I think it’s the best way to really put into words what it’s like to do a Tough Mudder. You don’t need to be a bodybuilder or marathon runner. You don’t even need to be in good shape….

We say this every year but, where did 2018 go? And when did Max end up starting 1st grade? Long gone are the days of strollers and baby bottles while bookbags and notebooks are taking over the house. If you’re in the same position, you’re like – Stephanie I don’t need all this intro crap – what’s good for Fall 2018. So let’s get right to the point. I attended… Keep Reading
Summer. It’s amazing how you view it differently over the years. As a kid you can’t wait to sleep in and not have homework and as an adult, we just dread the humidity and heat blasts in the underground subways. And the fact that we as adults, still have to work through these dawg days of summer adds insult to injury. So welcome to summer camp season here in NYC –… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by Babbleboxx on behalf of Sugarlands Distilling Company. Remember the show Moonshiners on The Discovery Channel? A few hillbillies in mental anguish between doing what they do best – backwoods moonshine making – and going mainstream? If you grew up in the rural farmlands of PA like I did, the show was fascinating to show the true-life struggle of tradition and modernization. But long story short… Keep Reading
Where I come from – there is only one football. But outside the bubble of black and yellow, an entire world of international futbol exists. And it’s following is massive. In fact, soccer is really taking over the US this summer – the World Cup just announced it’s coming to North America in 2026, and the International Champions Cup is coming right to NYC and get this – Pittsburgh! In fact,… Keep Reading
If you could be happier in 10 days, wouldn’t you want to be? If you’re the jaded New Yorker we’ve all become, the cynic in you just sneered and clicked away. But if you’re still looking for the small change that just might make a huge impact – that glimmer of hope that humanity is not all Finstagram and rainbow chia bowls, well then Headspace might just be what you’re… Keep Reading

It took a while to really come to the conclusion that one needs such a high-powered blender as a Vitamix (and the latest model – E310 Explorian).

We’re really fat kids at heart just trying to survive in a healthy world. And while we may not eat them every day, we sure love a reason to celebrate – like National Donut Day. Donuts are our favorite indulgence because we can take them on the go. They don’t melt like ice cream and they don’t smush like a cupcake. We love to road trip with donuts – there’s just… Keep Reading
It’s impressive how fast baby items can update and change – with innovation changing within months, attending shows and conferences like the NY Baby Show are necessary to see what’s new and up and coming. It’s also a really a fun job in the parenting world – who doesn’t like to test drive strollers and look at cute new onsies (baby fever, anyone?). But among all the tried and true… Keep Reading
It’s Memorial Day Weekend and our own pool just opened up today – which means summer is officially here! But let’s not forget that there are some scary situations that can come along with summer-like drowning. Drowning has always been a concern of mine (my dad never even learned how to swim!), and I wanted to get Max acclimated to the water as soon as possible. He’s been avidly taking classes for… Keep Reading
