Friday afternoon, someone stole our beloved stroller from in front of Maximo’s preschool. It really only hit me over the weekend how much that stroller has been through with us, and I honestly was sad and pretty upset to see it go. Usually I don’t get that mad because it’s material things, but this was a $250 UPPAbaby G-lite, so apparently someone knew that it was worth money. Lesson learned…. Keep Reading
Next to the holidays, it’s the second craziest time of year: back-to-school and fall. That means football is in the air – on television, in tailgating and in our kids sports. If you don’t happen to follow my blog (you’re missing out!), it’s pretty obvious by the title that football plays a huge part in our lives. And having a son, I know it’s only a matter of time before he… Keep Reading
“I participated in a In-Home Party Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Weight Watchers Sweet Baked Goods. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.” AHHH it’s bikini season – or for a lot of us moms – last minute dieting seasoning to try and squeeze into something that doesn’t make us look like whales. As I… Keep Reading
Baby products might update and change faster than technology – and since I have preggo and new moms out there – it’s necessary to pass along all the new goodies I come across – cause everything I had just three years ago with Max is totally outdated already. (AND NO- I’m not one of the pregnant ones since I know you’re wondering). t’s just part of my job – being… Keep Reading
How many times do you look forward to a vacation – and then think – I have to pack for everyone, travel on a plane, train or automobile with cranky kids and THEN squeeze into a bathing suit? Before you know it – traveling doesn’t sound so fun anymore. Travel and vacation is supposed to be relaxing – taking a break from the everyday elements that cause us stress, agony and… Keep Reading
Yes, we have a lot on our plates as moms, but there are ways that we can be happier—and not so stressed. From toning down the yelling (c’mon, you know you do it!) to shrugging off the mom guilt, follow my ten steps and prepare to smile more. 1. Say no We have to start learning to say no more. Remember that Jim Carrey movie where he said yes to… Keep Reading
How many times can I say it? I have a love/hate relationship with this city. But if you do the checklist of pros vs. cons (like Miranda did with Steve in Sex and the City), the pros always outweigh the cons every time. In fact, one of my favorite things as a NYC mom is the ability to have pretty much anything come to you. From groceries to cleaning ladies and… Keep Reading

It has it’s challenges that’s for sure, but like they say, if you can make it here you can make it anywhere. Being new york moms has it’s pros (culture, coffee on every corner, grocery delivery!) and cons (carrying strollers up and down subway steps)…. Keep Reading
I grew up in middle America where football isn’t just a sport, it’s a way of life. We don’t just watch the games every Sunday, we have a football channel dedicated to 365 days of coverage. I can dictate more sports facts and stats from history than the average male, and half my wardrobe is able to match the team colors when I head out to watch a game live…. Keep Reading
It took me a long to to realize that this is probably the most powerful statement of a female’s life: “Girls compete with each other and women empower each other.” As you grow up a female, there are lots of odds against you and not a lot of support along the way when you need it most – at your most challenging years. Myself included, at 18 I was at… Keep Reading
