The last time we had a decade change we thought the world was going to crash into Y2K. While there wasn’t exactly a cyber meltdown and mass hysteria, it is a good reminder to keep updated on what’s happening around you – especially in NYC. So make one of your resolutions this year to stay informed when an emergency happens. Emergencies can happen in a New York minute. From subway… Keep Reading
We love museums. We’re surrounded by some of the best here in NYC and we try to pop in as much as possible. Especially since Max is old enough to remember and say, “remember that time we went to The Met and saw the naked statues?” Growing up on a farm, we didn’t get a lot of culture, so I myself am fascinated to be able to take a train… Keep Reading
Growing up with freckles, I was always the first to burn every summer (still am!). It was still cool to layout and tan with baby oil in the 90s (or in my case, ride around on the lawn mower with my walkman and oil), and I took the first burn as a badge of honor, which I am now paying for with all the lovely skin damage to my chest….

This post was sponsored by Tobacco Free New York State as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Smoking. It seems just such a non-important issue. Until you have kids. Until you realize how easy for them to pick it up and notice it at 13 because that’s when you started smoking yourself. Until you realize how much advertising… Keep Reading
We’re all guilty of it. We’re at the pool or beach and finally relaxing. Our kids are playing – everyone’s happy and then there we are – back on our phones. Aimlessly scrolling through FB from the pristine white beaches instead of watching our children play in the water. Or even being present. It’s not to make you feel bad, it’s just a sad truth that even myself fall into…. Keep Reading
The lights, the glimmer, the glam of Broadway. That’s why we live here in NYC, right? All these overly dramatic amazing musicals all trying to outdo themselves and we all scramble to try and get tickets while the main actors are still there (and it’s still a year down the road). Just want to see something different? How about a show that goes entirely wrong – and that’s what you… Keep Reading
We may be New York City dwellers, but we are country boys and girls at heart. It’s funny that the older you get, the more you start to embrace your roots. Or maybe it’s just all the concrete, but we find ourselves hanging out in wide open fields, snowy mountains, large lakes and lush forests more and more. And so it says, being outdoors has TONS of benefits, and if you’ve… Keep Reading
Whoever initially thought a monster-sized gorilla climbing the tallest building in NYC was a pretty cool story really didn’t realize what they were starting. In fact, they never probably imagined that massive ape would literally come to life on stage in the very location of the storyline – Broadway in the middle of Times Square. Based on the famous 1932 novel, you’ll follow Carl Denham on his quest for fame…. Keep Reading
I do it every January. It arrives, it’s cold and we’re cooped up and I wish I had booked snowboarding trips for the winter. When you wait till last minute, usually all the good resorts are booked up (if you’re staying overnight). It’s not easy to remember to book a trip and wax that board of yours in the hot summer months, but ski/board season actually runs October through April… Keep Reading
NYC is magical for the holidays. Among the crowded city streets, there are just so many twinkles and sparkles, holiday markets, and decorated storefronts and windows galore it’s easy to remember how fun holiday shopping can (and should!) be. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll always be a fan of two-day shipping, but for the holidays, there’s something that’s missing when you shop online – the actual shopping. There is something… Keep Reading
