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
We all have our up and downs, and this year hasn’t been any exception. It seems the older we get in life, the more serious we have to take things, and yet, the sadder we become because we’re missing out on the simple things in life that make us happy. The one thing that makes me happy, you ask? Well, this is it. It took me about 32 years to… Keep Reading
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for John Hancock. I attended an event and received a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Ok ok – you know how this goes: Bad news: Americans are, on average, five years older than their actual age, due to a number of health and wellness factors…. Keep Reading
To juice or not to juice. That is the question. Today it’s known that many “juices” that claim to be natural really aren’t, and they’re pumping so much sugar into these “healthy drinks” that really, it’s just best to give them water. And water you should. But, I’ve been doing a lot of research for my job (and as a mom) and I’ve found that not ALL juices are bad… Keep Reading
This is going to change your life. I really don’t know how I didn’t get into spiralizing sooner. I’ve seen it, but never really thought it would be that good. Even one of my sorority sister’s met and reviewed Ali’s book, Inspiralized, introduced me, and I STILL wasn’t sold. So I am not sure what really made me bite the bullet, but one day I just decided to grab one… Keep Reading
This past weekend we were invited to head back to Pennsylvania to play in the snow at a resort that’s slipped my radar. You all know I am the biggest fan of spontaneous weekend adventures, so when I heard Woodloch Resort in the Poconos – I knew I had to check it out! The Moms, Denise and Melissa, planned the cutest little getaway with other NYC families we know so… Keep Reading
2015 has been a love/hate relationship in the last 30 days. Some really awesome things have happened and some really shi**y things have happened. And resolutions? Ha you know I don’t even TRY to create those. No one follows them and it’s a waste of time to try to create unrealistic goals you know you won’t meet. Instead of letting yourself down – stop trying to make the impossible happen… Keep Reading
Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am what they refer to as a “laid back mom.” A mom who sits back and lets their child explore the world on their own, only intervening when serious pain or damage will be inflicted to my son, another person or thing. You may think: “Hey, I’m a laid back mom too!” Good for you, but let’s talk about why it’s not always… Keep Reading

It was an accident. I doubt I would have actually attempted this on my own, but leave it to circumstance to show you when maybe you need a break. It started like this – I tried to install the new iOS system on my phone and it crashed. I had to completely wipe my phone and reinstall due to the crash. (Let this be a reminder to be backing up… Keep Reading
