I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Urbini. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and as a thank you for participating. Strollers. Fall is our favorite time of year to get out and explore as much as possible – the weather is cool, the scenery is spectacular, and you just seem to discover so much more. If you’ve been following along,… Keep Reading
In a city full of things to do, it’s sometimes hard to actually find something TO DO. That sounds impossible I know, unless you live here – then you get it. NYC is like Goldilocks and the three bears – it’s too far, it’s too many transfers, it’s too small for strollers, it’s too many stairs and no elevator. Realize, that I actually live 15 MINUTES from Manhattan and I… Keep Reading
We took a day trip to uncover the historic life and summer home of the Vanderbilt’s on the northern tip of Long Island. The mansion is bursting with history, artifacts, spectacular views, and even their own multi-million dollar planetarium. Here’s why you’ll want to add it to your must-do list: Tour the house The mansion is a history lesson in itself. Everything has been preserved exactly like it would have been if… Keep Reading
I was in the Hamptons the other week making my rounds to all the farmer’s markets before heading back into the city, when I overhead a lady holding a spaghetti squash and how to cook it. I almost lost my sh** when the farmer told her to just “pop it in the microwave for about 10-15 minutes.” Don’t DO that. Microwaves aren’t ALWAYS bad to cook food, but you have… Keep Reading
Ever since Max was born, he’s slept by my side. Breastfeeding will do that to a mother. Who wants to get up every two hours during the night to walk into another bedroom? Plus, when Max was first born, we had a one-bedroom apartment in New York City, so his crib was always in our room. People give me the look when I tell them that I let my son sleep in… Keep Reading
So if you’ve been under a rock, or are just tuning in – I live in NYC. The city with the smallest available living space humanly possible. Then throw in a kid. Seriously, you think you have a lot of stuff? Get knocked up. The next worst part? Kids smell. And they’re messy. Thankfully we live in a building that has garbage shoots so we can toss our tiny little… Keep Reading
Listen I am FAR from a germ-a-phobe. I let Max eat dirt. As long as it’s DIRT and not NYC sludge. There is a difference. I try to prevent putting deadly germs in mouth. Plus, it’s cold/flu season, so let’s all do each other a favor and just remember to try and keep the germs at bay. We are already surrounded by rats, cockroaches, green toxic liquids dripping out of… Keep Reading
So a good friend of mine asked me if I would speak at her conference, The Mom Con, in November and I was so excited I didn’t think about what I was really committing to. Did moms really want to hear me speak? What the F do I really know that’s even worth listening to? I’ve been in the social media realm for a long time – way before your… Keep Reading
Yesterday we sat in Brooklyn and admired the Freedom Tower. I am sure every single New Yorker has as one point looked up at it and imagined seeing planes crashing right into it, even if they didn’t actually witness that moment 13 years ago. Just like sometimes when I have to go through the Lincoln Tunnel and it’s backed up, I get a little uneasy. So if you’re wondering –… Keep Reading
Being a mom is a love/hate relationship. I love love love being a mom, but lugging everything around this hot smelly city isn’t easy. Unless I want to spend the same amount in rent in cabs to lug Maximo everywhere – and what is the fun in that? No drunk bums on the sidewalk? No rats in the subway? What’s the point of living here then? So – I am… Keep Reading
