There is a new trend on food out there and FINALLY it’s one I am more than happy to jump on the bandwagon. I have never been a fan of salads – unless they are “Pittsburgh style.” This means loading them with things like french fries, cheese, steak and Ranch dressing. So much for the healthy part of salad. So, I would eat them – reluctantly – knowing… Keep Reading
Out of all the traveling we do all year, one was unexpected. We had to travel back to dairy country for my gram’s memorial service. You can read the obituary I did for her here. Farm life isn’t an easy life. For some reason today I feel like they paint this glamorous photo lifestyle of everything. I used to think NYC was picture perfect until I moved here, and now… Keep Reading
Realizations: Being a mom is hard. Being a mom in the summer, harder. Being a mom trying to train for a marathon in the summer, impossible. Kids and me time just do not equate, and there comes a time in every moms life when the word babysitter pops into their heads. If you haven’t seen Bad Moms yet, go watch it now, and then come back to read this. As… Keep Reading

The newest film in this series, Collision Course is now in theaters and here’s why you’ll wanna grab some ice pops and watch it will the kids! What… Keep Reading
My gram passed away this weekend. She was basically my mother figure and made me the person I am today. Death is always inevitable, but it’s still never a fun pill to swallow. Thank you for your condolences in advance, but she’s been miserable in a home for a year now with dimentia and I believe her wild soul is finally free. She wasn’t the gram who I knew that… Keep Reading
The constant struggle between tasting good and calories and mounds of sugar. Instant happiness or long term healthy weight happiness – that is the question. I don’t know about you, but as a self-proclaimed connoisseur of food and drink, I’m always looking for new releases from my favorite companies to see how they can outdo themselves in terms of flavor and health. Ocean Spray has released a new brand of… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Meta Appetite Control as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. Summer is hard. Hard to balance health, self and parenting. Kids are off school so that means your daily workout routine is off, you’re traveling more, and let’s be honest – most of that traveling revolves around the kids and “kid food.” Meta Appetite Control has been a life saver for me these last couple… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by NEW! Tide purclean as a part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. As much as I love city living, one nuisance that every metropolitan mother endures is doing laundry. With less than favorable basements and washers that seem to eat an entire roll of quarters per load, I’m always looking for ways to make doing a wash easy again. Tide has launched a new… Keep Reading
The other day I was riding the subway home with Max. We were getting off the train and he tripped walking towards the stairs. I stopped, but waiting for him to pick himself up. We’d been in the city all day walking and it was around 2:30pm, so when I saw little tears forming, I knew it was because he was just utterly exhausted. I went to take his hand… Keep Reading
