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
There’s a big upward trend in organic, natural, and safe products lately, and as parents, we should be embracing it. With dangers like toxic, cancer-causing ingredients in products it’s important to be informed on where your products are coming from – and many brands out there are taking that very seriously. This includes Acure Organics, a family owned company founded on sustainable principles, who just recently added a baby line to their high-quality… Keep Reading
Listen, if you haven’t discovered Kidfresh yet, I am going to let you in on a little secret. No matter HOW much I write about cooking from scratch, it DOESN’T HAPPEN EVERY DAY. Listen, I go through ups and downs just like you – such as at this moment I am choosing to write you something extremely witty instead of cooking dinner. That’s for your personal chef. Oh wait, you… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as a part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I’ve realized that being an “East Coaster” (and especially a New Yorker) can really take a toll on your health.

21 days. That’s what they say it takes to make or break a habit. Seems short enough, but it can also be the longest 21 days of your life. But, I will admit – just like in pregnancy, after that first trimester, you can’t pinpoint the day, but somehow the nausea just goes away. Or, if you run everyday, the further distance just doesn’t seem so far one day. I… Keep Reading
If you’ve been following along on my 2016 goals, you’ll see I am continuing on the less is more, simpler lifestyle… 2015 was all about eliminating processed foods from our diets (okay not ALWAYS, sometimes a dirty water dog in Central Park is necessary).Then we looked into removing chemicals – from dish soap to shampoo. Then we started removing plastics and adding bamboo to cooking utensils and trading in our… Keep Reading
Since I am deep into hibernation mode, I actually have some time to sit down and talk to you. Hibernation for me = staycation in New York City for sixty days. For these two months I try not to travel any further than the Metro North, or LIRR can take me. There are no suitcases, and I always sleep in my own bed. It’s the opposite of traveling for some….

Last year I took 24 trips. T W E N T Y FOUR. With the Steelers back in the Playoffs this weekend on the trip to the Super Bowl it made me look back, to so many road trips I’ve made in my life, including driving to Indianapolis to watch the Giants win back in 2012, and just this fall to see the Steelers beat the Raiders at Heinz Field. This… Keep Reading
