If you’re going to hibernate from the New York City cold, at least do so in Broadway theater! On February 11, some friends from outer-space will be visiting for one day only at the Playstation Theater. This intergalactic family with fins is on a mission – to help save Earth, and they need us New Yorkers to join in the quest. Here’s why you’ll want to join us and… Keep Reading
Everyone has some sort of holiday tradition of baking holiday cookies. For us, it’s spending one entire day baking dozens and dozens to mail out to family and friends. Although we’ve shared countless precious memories with flour on our faces and tasting our new delicious concoctions, the memory of going to the grocery store during the holiday season, especially here in NYC, for all of the ingredients is like a… Keep Reading
I maybe have earned my New Yorker card after 7 years in this city, but my heart is still (and always will be) Yinzer. If I had to say my favorite way to dress was “down” and that I can pull it off – totally. Yinzer in my blood means looking good while not trying to look like you actually care. Is Yinzer the original Hipster? I mean, boys in… Keep Reading
Once upon a time a little girl grew up on a farm in the heart of dairy country PA. She loved to wake up early with her grandparents and head down to the barn to milk the cows. After a simple, mid-afternoon lunch of chipped chopped ham sandwiches on the wraparound porch, she would visit her Amish neighbors to drop off some fresh milk and help feed the hens and… Keep Reading
This year it’s all about making life easier. The basics we seem to ignore sometimes, going for items that are way more over-the-top than we need. Maybe I’ve just been watching a lot of episodes of Tiny Houses on HGTV, but it’s reminded why I love living in NYC – we live more for the moments than all the “stuff.” Here a few items that we’ve seem to be able… Keep Reading
Remember that huge bed bug scare of 2010? The one so bad you stopped going to movie theaters and didn’t want to “check” your coat at restaurants and almost fought people for bushing up against you on the subway? I still shudder at those days. Thankfully they were PM (Pre-Maximo). But as one nightmare fades, another will follow. Along with school comes lice. And it’s inevitable. Short of scalping… Keep Reading
How do they put it nicely? One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I remember as a child going yard sale-ing on Saturday’s with my father. It was our tradition to wake up, open the newspaper and circle (yes, actually a carbon paper and pen) which ones we thought would be great to browse through before jumping in the car for our weekly adventure. It was all about the bonding… Keep Reading
You can breathe a little better today knowing that the paint surrounding you in the room you’re reading this in can now be Zero-VOC. What does that mean exactly? Valspar has earned the GREENGUARD Gold Certification on all four of their high-performing paints (Reserve, Signature, Ultra 4000 and Ultra 2000) – meaning they’ve met the most rigorous clean air standards, and allows consumers to reduce their environmental footprint and live… 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
Ok listen, I grew up on a farm, right? Shocker. Here’s the thing – when you live really far from doctors and hospitals, you don’t really go rushing off to them unless you’ve severed your arm. You probably look back at video games like the Oregon Trail and think, my God, how did you survive in that wagon? Believe it or not people, back in the day didn’t rely so heavily… Keep Reading
