One of my favorite things to do as a kid was go to the bookstore with my grandma. Once a week we would head into town to Amy’s Books, a consignment shop of wonder. As a small child, I could spend HOURS in there – just browsing the covers. I can still remember the musty smell from all the old, used books, but it was like a wild adventure to… Keep Reading
I am sure you’ve noticed that I am bit obsessed with taking photos of Max. It’s not just the mom in me, I used to LOVE taking tons of photos before smart phones and digital cameras even existed. Yes, I have photo album after photo album full of college printed images. Printed? haha – YES! Remember when we used to print photos? Anyways, my latest project has been creating this… Keep Reading
I have always had the travel bug, and since Maximo came along I have had to suppress it a little. Ok ok maybe not – I travel to Pittsburgh almost every other month and last year I made it to Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico and Martha’s Vineyard. This year so far Miami and Vermont (and our big International travel will be to Greece – but that’s another story…) Anyways,… Keep Reading
Now that we’re parents, we just don’t go out and party till 4 am like we used to. I know, all you single people out there are feeling depressed – give up your party lifestyle? I am pretty sure I’ve partied enough for 5 lifetimes, so it’s okay that I’m not out till the sun comes up in NYC anymore. However, I haven’t given up parties altogether. The trick is… Keep Reading
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Blinkbuggy. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating.” About a month ago Claudio got a new iPhone. Since he bought it through the cell phone provider, they shipped him a phone – meaning he had to “backup” and “upload” all content into the cloud himself so he could transfer it to the new phone. Well, something… Keep Reading
Ok Pittsburgh don’t get mad – but really, Pittsburgh has zero fashion. I can say that, I didn’t get dressed for over 10 years. I lived in Terrible Towel skirts, fake tans and white eyeliner. Oh stop it – you know you did too. If you still are, well….. my point. So then I up and moved to the most fashionable place on earth – NYC. Thank god I live… Keep Reading
The day I moved to New York City wasn’t easy. My apartment wasn’t ready and I had to shove every little thing I owned into a tiny storage in Brooklyn before my friends dropped me off at a random sublet in Harlem I had found on Craigslist. They looked at me like I was crazy – here was this little white girl who just up and quit her job, sold… Keep Reading
“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Huggies. I received product samples to facilitate my review and to thank me for my participation. All opinions are my own.” As a mom, diapers have become a way of life. It’s worked it’s way into our budget like a car payment every month, and you just become accustom to pinning down a toddler with one arm while trying to… Keep Reading
Thanks to feeling a little under the weather, I spent last night hopped up on NyQuil. Sometimes I wonder what the F they put in that stuff. I always end up having dreams that are equivalent to tripping on acid. Not that I would know. Usually my dreams are full of fluffy purple unicorns dancing in Times Square or some sort of weird shit like that. Not this time. This… Keep Reading
This whole Rachel Canning story has me up in arms. As a mother, I just can’t imagine my own child suing me to pay for him to live outside my house. This is probably because I too left my own home at the tender age of 17. (You can read the story here). Many don’t know this story, but I actually moved to South Carolina with a boyfriend before I… Keep Reading
