I am not really sure if it’s age, becoming a mom or both – but as I’m heading towards the higher end of the 30s this year, health has become a huge component of our lives way more than ever. Even though I grew up on a farm and ate “farm to table” literally everyday, we will still had things like soda and Crisco in the cupboards. Yes. My gram… Keep Reading
How are those resolutions coming along? If you’re like me, by this time of the year it’s getting harder and harder to stick to New Year’s resolutions. That’s why I stopped setting them a long time ago and I just try to take little steps on a daily basis to improve my life. From not having that extra scoop of ice cream, better time management and even simply taking the… Keep Reading
If you’re going to hibernate from the New York City cold, at least do so in Broadway 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
Most people don’t like the cold (evidence – how many people move to Florida when they retire?). But me, I love the snow and cold. I spent a lot of my childhood in Colorado, and wouldn’t change it for any sandy beach. This also means that winter is one of my favorite times to run. You’ve seen me running in the Poconos, and now this winter, I’m out running in… 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
If you’re getting ready to run your first long distance race, there are a few things you should know. Maybe you’re a pro and already prepped, but for my first half marathon, I hadn’t run a registered 5K, 10K or 15K in over five years! True story.

It’s that time of year when you say F it, you’ll make your new years resolutions in January and eat that Christmas cookie. But let’s be honest, do you ever really keep those resolutions anyways? I haven’t made or stuck to resolutions in eight years because I know I set myself up for failure. Instead, I’ve learned to just start. right. now. You have to give yourself lots of little… Keep Reading
This post was developed in partnership with Bayer, as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received the Aleve® Direct Therapy TM TENS Device and compensation to facilitate my review. I looked down at the pool of muddy water below and thought about the last three miles of mud, running and barbed wire. This was the final act, and as I slid down the massive slide into the cess pool of… 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
