Growing up with freckles, I was always the first to burn every summer (still am!). It was still cool to layout and tan with baby oil in the 90s (or in my case, ride around on the lawn mower with my walkman and oil), and I took the first burn as a badge of honor, which I am now paying for with all the lovely skin damage to my chest….

Growing up in Pittsburgh, we were always huge football fans. It wasn’t until Max was born and I lived in NYC that I learned what the real meaning behind “futbol” was. This sport was HUGE. Almost bigger than Steeler Nation. And with Maximo’s family being from two large soccer countries – Uruguay and Guatemala – this sport was quickly loved in the home. What isn’t there to love about soccer?… Keep Reading
In 2019, everyone is feeling the need to “do it all.” And you know what I mean. We’re talking insane levels of reality like bounce back from having a baby to present to the world within hours, look like you’re about to walk the red carpet at school drop off, bake Food Network worthy birthday cakes. So when do you have time to get to your perfectly curated yoga class… Keep Reading
Love to eat donuts by the pool? This summer you’re saying F the bikini and embracing the mom bod? Then I am about to make your summer dreams come true. Remember how you love to love to dunk your donut in cheese sauce? Or how you sprinkle it with broken candy canes left over from Christmas – in July?! Well, now you can stop wondering if the world will love… Keep Reading
Back in the 90s we loved getting weird. We had ouija boards, colored jeans and Doc Martens. We also had a weirdly dark and grungy love affair, and death was strangely “popular” in song lyrics and movies (Nirvana or Nine Inch Nails, anyone?) Regardless, we loved it and still laugh about our trend choices today. But – is it making a comeback? Nirvana tees have never gone out of style… Keep Reading
Math – it’s a complicated subject (in more ways than one). You either love it or hate it, but there’s no avoiding it. For some reason, Max actually LOVES math. He literally stood up for a talent show last weekend and did a math problem (who brought that kid!?). So what does a mom do with a kid who LOVES math – you get him enrolled in a math class… Keep Reading
We’re all guilty of it. We’re at the pool or beach and finally relaxing. Our kids are playing – everyone’s happy and then there we are – back on our phones. Aimlessly scrolling through FB from the pristine white beaches instead of watching our children play in the water. Or even being present. It’s not to make you feel bad, it’s just a sad truth that even myself fall into…. Keep Reading
I received this product from Moms Meet to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links. Allergies are something new I’ve discovered. It started about two years ago when all of a sudden I was having a hard time running and breathing. I felt I was in good shape, so I didn’t understand why I was having such hard breathing… Keep Reading
I love May. I get the full month to ME. Mother’s Day, Memorial Day weekend, my birthday… it’s just one long month of celebrations, gifts and fun. But let’s talk about Mother’s Day. Frankly, I just want to relax this year. I don’t want an overpriced salad where I have to wait in line and then be rushed out. I don’t want overpriced flowers that will die in two days. … Keep Reading
Ok ladies, I know you’ve all seen it. If you haven’t – shocker – the beautiful Julia Roberts plays a hooker who has a billionaire fall in love with her. You know, typical everyday life. A classic fairytale love story, but I mean, who doesn’t need another Cinderella story for faith on love and true romance? Especially in 2019. Enter Pretty Woman: The Musical. The love story of 2019 –… Keep Reading
