You see it in the news, on your Facebook feed and through whispers at school all too often. A child has a medical emergency and the parents don’t have enough money to cover it. It’s scary and we all just kind of put our heads down and feel bad for them, hoping IF it happens to us that insurance or our money nest will cover it. But what if it… Keep Reading
Being that Pittsburgh’s Stanley Cup winning hockey team is named after this cute water bird (or is it mammal?), we’ve always been big fans of penguins. Frankly who isn’t? April 25 is World Penguin Day – and while Pittsburgh doesn’t need any help with their PENS, the birds around the world could use our love to help keep them from extinction. Stonyfield YoKids is sponsoring the AZA SAFE (Saving Animals from Extinction)… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Sunshine Sweet Corn as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. It’s no secret corn has been one of my favorite (and now Maximo’s) foods of all time. I still remember how traumatic it was to have to cut the corn off the cob for those lonely years I had braces. Please these teeth… Keep Reading
We’ve been doing a lot of traveling lately (wait, that’s all the time) so it’s not as easy to say we will cook a healthy, unprocessed meal at home. But we still don’t want to give in and eat fast food, so what are our options? Luckily – it’s getting easier! Target is always a mom’s favorite place, but they’re giving a lot of natural and healthy stores a run… Keep Reading
Fact: There are 12 million single families in the U.S. That means there’s a lot of eligible single dads right? But wait – who has time to actually DATE? Don’t get too excited: Eighty-four percent (9.8 million) of single parent households are single mother families with only a mere 16 percent are single father families.[1] Woof. It gets worse. The 2013 median income for families led by a single mother… Keep Reading
Whoever still things working out is some lug in gym grunting or the never-ending stair climber obviously doesn’t live in NYC. Every week there is a new form of fitness popping up – and I’m always game to try it. From aerial yoga to booting popping with a live DJ to now surfing – yes SURFING – I can only imagine what’s next. Surprisingly, I never thought I would be… Keep Reading
Habits. It’s wild to think how they actually happen. One day you’re a few (okay maybe more than a few!) pounds overweight after pregnancy and then poof – you find yourself basically addicted to working out every day. And you get this weird itch on days you don’t. It’s not a guilty itch – it’s more like any other habit – if you skip coffee or sugar one day –… Keep Reading
If you haven’t heard lately – I am a dairy lover. Born and raised with the cows themselves, I have always found plenty reasons to keep milk items in my fridge. From those frothy days of fresh cream skimmed right off the top of the bucket (true story!) to fresh churned butter and creamy yogurts, the kitchen has and always will be full of happy cow products. I might be… Keep Reading
My days rarely center around one certain thing. I’m like a trapeze artist juggling flaming batons with weights on my ankles at any given time. Then, Valentine’s Day rolls around and the focus is on showing everyone else how much you love them. That’s all fine and dandy, we’ve got a lot of love to give; however, often times we ladies forget to love ourselves. We’re constantly being pulled in… Keep Reading
It’s time for a lot of B, people. Bikinis, butts, Boudreaux, booty, bounce, #breaktheinternet, BE BETTER. This is the year that you (yes, YOU!) will start to take better care of yourself. Not just having that green cold-pressed juice for lunch or trying the Whole30 diet – but actually CHANGING your lifestyle for the better. Making healthier and better habits will lead to lifelong change – right? *Yawn* I know… Keep Reading
