I wish I could say it was 70 days, but my point is – even when you live in a big city –… Keep Reading

And while I’ve seen a lot of it, New York is one state I am happy to call home. We have all four seasons. We have the biggest, best city in the world, oceanfront, Broadway AND – saving… Keep Reading

Sometimes secrets should be kept – and I honestly wasn’t sure I wanted to give this one up. When you stumble upon something so incredible – you come to a crossroads.

And so, I give you my greatest find of 2020 –… Keep Reading

This post was sponsored by Healthfirst as part of an Integrated Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Especially when it’s with Max before bed, and he reads me a cute story… Keep Reading
