Less scrolling. More living.
I was just chatting the other day about how you now have to plan for a character lunch at Disney World over six months in advance – six! I know when I was a kid I met them, and I know for damn sure my parents we’re planning ANYTHING six months in advance. Times are changing, and it’s inevitable that we have to change with it – and become more… Keep Reading
Ok, so maybe you didn’t grow up in PA and a Rocky junkie like me, but that song and these steps have always been a motivating movie moment in my life. Living in Pittsburgh, I’ve had the chance to run these steps a few times, but today, it was more important to me. I realized that I have the opportunity and the strength to still run up these with momentum…. Keep Reading
It’s football season if you haven’t noticed. Players on my fantasy team have been dropping left and right, Big Ben is injured for a few weeks, and that crisp fall air makes you want to cancel your FlyWheel spinning class and just eat carbs on the couch. The trick to this is like any true mom sport – finding balance and time for both. I like to think of… Keep Reading
UPDATE: We’re almost to 2,000 signatures! If you haven’t heard my story yet, here’s a quick run down. Even though I was now a mom, and Max was 3 months old, I wasn’t going to change my routine of traveling to Pittsburgh every season to catch a Steelers game. Plus, we already had tickets! I made plans with my family to watch Max while I went down, but I also… Keep Reading
As you get older, ideas and things change. I know, shocker. But Jay-Z said it best in his 30-something song – the way you look at life just evolves. Such as, in my twenties I was bartending and out till 4am every night, and now I am a mom who wants to run a marathon. At 34, I’m pretty much in the best shape I’ve been in since I was… Keep Reading
Growing up on a dairy farm myself, I can appreciate the hard work and perseverance that Stew Leonard’s has shown over the years. When Stew Sr. moved to CT and started delivering milk on his own in 1921 with his farm Clover Farms Dairy, he didn’t realize it would turn into one of the world’s favorite farm-to-take grocery stores. And for good reason – cause even today, it’s a little… Keep Reading
Next to the holidays, it’s the second craziest time of year: back-to-school and fall. That means football is in the air – on television, in tailgating and in our kids sports. If you don’t happen to follow my blog (you’re missing out!), it’s pretty obvious by the title that football plays a huge part in our lives. And having a son, I know it’s only a matter of time before he… Keep Reading
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Carter’s. I received a complimentary gift card to facilitate my review and thank me for my participation. Get this look, here. Maximo still doesn’t start school for the first time for two more weeks and I’m already over it. No wonder moms start prepping middle of summer because it’s a LOT of work – or is it really?… Keep Reading
Swimming. Is it something we take for granted? We consider lake and beach trips vacations, love to spend time and money on luxury items like boating, fishing and even our own backyard pools. Being surrounded by water is something we just play into our daily lives (I mean, we DO live on an island!). But the trends are speaking. Did you know that currently, almost 10 people drown every day in… Keep Reading
The trick to enjoying working out is finding the one thing that you love to do. I know – you probably just rolled your eyes at me – but it’s true. If you force yourself to go running when you absolutely hate running, you aren’t going to get anywhere but frustrated and full of resentment. Luckily here in NYC, there is every type of workout/exercise imaginable. I’ve even hung upside… Keep Reading
Summer is quickly coming to an end which means students, parents and teachers are getting ready to head back to school. A group of us thought we might help celebrate this wonderful time of year by offering a giveaway! The hosting bloggers Suburban Wife, City Life, Six Dollar Family, Raising Three Savvy Ladies, The Chirping Moms, Football, Food and Motherhood and The Frugal Navy Wife, wanted to pull together… Keep Reading
There are lots of reasons we don’t get any more date nights. Frankly, spending a night alone on my couch sounds way better most days than actually getting ready and heading out. It’s like getting to the gym for me – I know I really want to go, once I’m there I’ll love it, it’s just the fact of getting out the door. And one of the biggest deterrents? Finding… Keep Reading
