There is nothing to cheer you up during the cold, sad days of winter (especially THIS winter) quite like a Broadway show. Especially when it’s the award-winning show Kinky Boots. It’s perfect for ladies, gentlemen, and “those who are yet to make up their minds.” You’ve probably heard of it on Broadway, but haven’t made it to getting tickets yet. Listen, if you don’t see this show before it’s gone,… Keep Reading
Holiday cards are always a PITA. Let’s be honest. You have to get kids to smile, actually get a great shot, order the cards…. sigh. So to us, it’s worth it to work with a photographer that knows how to really get that shot you’ve always wished for. And trust me when I say… Lindsay is the kid whisperer. She can literally make a model out of even the crankiest child,… Keep Reading
This year it’s all about making life easier. The basics we seem to ignore sometimes, going for items that are way more over-the-top than we need. Maybe I’ve just been watching a lot of episodes of Tiny Houses on HGTV, but it’s reminded why I love living in NYC – we live more for the moments than all the “stuff.” Here a few items that we’ve seem to be able… Keep Reading
The best part about living on the East Coast (and why I will always be a East Coast dweller) is the ability to take easy road trips up and down the coast. From Boston to New York to Philly and DC, it’s easy to explore so many beautiful and historic areas. And being the nerdy travel buff that I am, I can always find a new nook to explore, a… Keep Reading
Were you one of those people growing up that looked at your mom’s pot of coffee every morning and said, no way – I’ll never drink that sludge. I still remember her pulling out the tub of Maxwell House instant coffee and stirring and sipping on it throughout the day. (is that really coffee??). And the Mr. Coffee pot. Come on – you remember Mr. Coffee. It’s safe to say… Keep Reading
Remember that huge bed bug scare of 2010? The one so bad you stopped going to movie theaters and didn’t want to “check” your coat at restaurants and almost fought people for bushing up against you on the subway? I still shudder at those days. Thankfully they were PM (Pre-Maximo). But as one nightmare fades, another will follow. Along with school comes lice. And it’s inevitable. Short of scalping… 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
Training for a marathon is no joke. Luckily, I only have to do a half. Hey, we all have goals, right? If you’ve been following along with my climatic and dramatic novella life of running, then you know that my first half in Baltimore went way better than expected (finished in 2:15), so I immediately signed up to run the half in my favorite city in the world (next to… Keep Reading
How do they put it nicely? One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I remember as a child going yard sale-ing on Saturday’s with my father. It was our tradition to wake up, open the newspaper and circle (yes, actually a carbon paper and pen) which ones we thought would be great to browse through before jumping in the car for our weekly adventure. It was all about the bonding… Keep Reading
