So a good friend of mine asked me if I would speak at her conference, The Mom Con, in November and I was so excited I didn’t think about what I was really committing to. Did moms really want to hear me speak? What the F do I really know that’s even worth listening to? I’ve been in the social media realm for a long time – way before your… Keep Reading
Being a mom is a love/hate relationship. I love love love being a mom, but lugging everything around this hot smelly city isn’t easy. Unless I want to spend the same amount in rent in cabs to lug Maximo everywhere – and what is the fun in that? No drunk bums on the sidewalk? No rats in the subway? What’s the point of living here then? So – I am… Keep Reading
So a while back I was lucky to attend a pampering session with Ford to celebrate 50 years of Ford Mustang. Allison Cooper from Project Motherhood and I got #stangstyled – decked out in vintage clothes with Christos Garkinos and Mustang manicures. And booze. Seriously – doesn’t Ford throw the best events? They know women, which is why I love them. Well, and because I love cars – especially their vintage… Keep Reading
Hey dudettes – newsflash: I’ve been traveling a lot this summer. Oh please – it’s mostly for work don’t get too jaded and stop reading already! One thing really started to bother me while I was sitting in over 10 hours of traffic to and from Baltimore this weekend – I realized how hard it is to find something descent, let alone healthy to eat on the highway. Maybe it… Keep Reading
A few weeks ago one of my New York mom friends asked me if I would be interested in turning some of Maximo’s artwork into real-life stuffed animals. HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT? Since Max really only takes the moderist approach to scribble all over my white leather office chair with pens, I figured he might still be a bit young, and instead reached out to Claudio’s cousin, Ana… Keep Reading
Before you do a double take and say….. GO GREEN? Coming from the girl who used to own a Hummer? Yes, even past Hummer-owners can be green! Even in NYC? Yes! Especially in NYC! Think about it – we’re already one step ahead by taking the subway every day instead of driving, and the fact that our landlords make us recycle or get fined? That’s just LOVE they’re really showing… Keep Reading
“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Huggies. I received product samples to facilitate my review and to thank me for my participation. All opinions are my own.” As a mom, diapers have become a way of life. It’s worked it’s way into our budget like a car payment every month, and you just become accustom to pinning down a toddler with one arm while trying to… Keep Reading
Being a New York mom means always having to dress your babies “fashionably” for the playground. No, seriously. I get some raised eyebrows when Maximo hits the slides in sweat pants. But, dressing fancy everyday can be exhausting AND expensive – especially here in NYC. We may or may not have dropped $90 on a pair of boots for Maximo. No judgement. So, when Carter’s reached out to me to… Keep Reading

I don’t know if you remember, but last year, a stranger bought my dinner on Valentine’s Day. I was traveling back from Pittsburgh, Claudio was flying back from work, and Maximo and I stopped in the middle of no where PA at Cracker Barrel to eat and take a break. It took me a few minutes to understand why everyone was staring at Maximo and I with looks of pity… Keep Reading
