As a teenager, I remember feeling like my parents were still treating me like a baby and all I wanted to do was openly resist all of their rules and scream at the top of my lungs to listen to me and see that I wasn’t a baby anymore! Or in the words of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s newest Broadway musical School of Rock, “Stick it To The Man!” School of… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Samsung as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Tax season. Ranks up there as the two most scariest words. Like “you’re fired,” “ketchup’s out” and “call 9-1-1!” But tax season doesn’t always have to be scary – if you’re doing it right. And having a good accountant is key to educate you. If… Keep Reading
When you look at these – I hope you see the immense pride I have in them being a NON-creative mom. I also post this to prove that yes you – YOU – can make these as well. Because, if I can get crafty – ANYONE can. Put me in the kitchen? Masterpiece. Put me in front of a craft store and a Pinterest page, you’re lucky if I come… Keep Reading

Ok so that game on Sunday night has us all a little extra sad this week as we know the beloved black and gold won’t be heading to the Big Game in Houston. But what better time to embrace the cold and game as a way to drown our sorrows in food! This of course means – why spend all the time in the kitchen? January is always my “month… Keep Reading
Most people don’t like the cold (evidence – how many people move to Florida when they retire?). But me, I love the snow and cold. I spent a lot of my childhood in Colorado, and wouldn’t change it for any sandy beach. This also means that winter is one of my favorite times to run. You’ve seen me running in the Poconos, and now this winter, I’m out running in… Keep Reading
Everyone has some sort of holiday tradition of baking holiday cookies. For us, it’s spending one entire day baking dozens and dozens to mail out to family and friends. Although we’ve shared countless precious memories with flour on our faces and tasting our new delicious concoctions, the memory of going to the grocery store during the holiday season, especially here in NYC, for all of the ingredients is like a… Keep Reading
If you’re getting ready to run your first long distance race, there are a few things you should know. Maybe you’re a pro and already prepped, but for my first half marathon, I hadn’t run a registered 5K, 10K or 15K in over five years! True story. So if you’re a newbie like we all once were once, it’s helpful to have a friend or seasoned veteran (can I consider… Keep Reading
Recently I hit a rough patch in my life, I came back to New York City after quitting my job at NY1 and backpacking through Asia for six months. I came back for love, and then two months later we had the inevitable tragic breakup that happens in your late 20s when it’s either forever or never. Consequently, I’ve been living on my savings, jobless, loveless and chasing a dream… Keep Reading
I remember LBP (life before Prime). Especially as a mom and a New Yorker, two-day free shipping was life changing. I could literally buy one thing at a time (instead of always trying to remember what I was out of in a list) and have it show up. Literally, it’s become my favorite thing to do on the walk to school – what did I need? Ketchup? Ok – done…. Keep Reading
