How are those resolutions coming along? If you’re like me, by this time of the year it’s getting harder and harder to stick to New Year’s resolutions. That’s why I stopped setting them a long time ago and I just try to take little steps on a daily basis to improve my life. From not having that extra scoop of ice cream, better time management and even simply taking the… Keep Reading
Playdates. Basically survival pow wows for new moms. It’s also a great way for sleep-deprived parents to actually shower, rally and put on makeup to get together with friends they haven’t seen in a long while or meet new people. And eat real food that’s not just cheerios dusted off from the floor under the high chair. Being that (1) we love food, and (2) we love eating and cooking food with… Keep Reading
The other day I was attending an event for Breast Cancer month with The Moms (one of the founders, Denise Albert is fighting the battle as we speak), and I ran into Shari Brooks. She started telling me about this amazing little campaign she started that’s gotten rather big, and I felt compelled to jump on the bandwagon. In honor of tragically losing her mother to breast cancer, she started the… Keep Reading
What does it really mean to be “fearless?” If referring to me, many claim I am the definition on it – allowing nothing to pose threats or scare me, in fact, I seem to thrive in the face of uncertainty, as if I almost welcome the challenge. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that life is consistently about ups and downs, and facing your fears is what molds you… Keep Reading
My gram passed away this weekend. She was basically my mother figure and made me the person I am today. Death is always inevitable, but it’s still never a fun pill to swallow. Thank you for your condolences in advance, but she’s been miserable in a home for a year now with dimentia and I believe her wild soul is finally free. She wasn’t the gram who I knew that… Keep Reading
Who doesn’t love a good deal? In true New Yorker form, we like to pretend we don’t have time for weeding through coupons or sample sales racks to find a good deal. We do however, like them to be presented to us, on a shiny plate, and hopefully gluten-free. That’s why we love Groupon and their local deals on restaurants, shows and hello! Spas (just not the one’s having early… Keep Reading
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
I am a boy mom. And happy about that for many reasons. Because girls can be hard. Especially when it comes to clothes. I know this because I once was one. Thankfully in age of technology and online shopping, there are more options than my Levi’s at Sears. Meet kidpik – a subscription-based monthly box of clothes shipped right to your door, and custom curated based on your tastes. For… 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….

We had one hell of a year. A lot of big ups and a lot of big downs, just like there always are but one thing is for sure – life goes on. Change happens. Every year we seem to forget that, and expect things to always be better, always be happier and always move forward. Because of that, we are more disappointed and see roadblocks as set backs instead… Keep Reading
