When you hear – The Bronx – what’s the first thing that comes to mind? A Bronx Tale? Gangs? Super hard gangsta rap? Definitely NOT kids holiday events, flowers and trains that’s for sure. We actually have a membership and go to the Bronx zoo at least a couple times a month – but I never thought to head up to the Botanical Garden until I read about the Holiday… Keep Reading
Well if you DIDN’T already know – Thanksgiving 2013 is here. It’s that one time a year when us selfish, entitled Americans actually decide to ‘give thanks’ to all the things we have. Such as affording ‘organic’ foods, $5 lattes, $500 iphones and well, us New Yorkers – $3000 a month rents. Yes, you can re-read that it’s correct. I admit it – I don’t appreciate all the things I… Keep Reading
When you think Martha’s Vineyard first thing that comes to mind —- go! – WASP? – Presidential vacations – American dream – ghosts wait – what? Well, now that it’s Halloween season, I figured there is no better time than to share my first paranormal experience. Welcome to Stephanie’s first Real Haunted Stories – A Haunting in Martha’s Vineyard. Was it real? Well, let me just tell you what happened… Keep Reading
I have a confession. Two weeks ago we called 9-11. Yes, if you’re our neighbor and you saw all the ambulances outside our building, here is why: Maximo had a fever. Now – before you judge me, roll your eyes and say – ROOKIE MOVE, FIRST TIME MOM. Let me just fill you all in in something I didn’t know – even you “PROS” – high fevers can cause babies… Keep Reading
Who doesn’t love to win free stuff? Every now and then we come across an awesome product that we LOVE to give some away! (because if it helps, this mom, it should help you, too!) If you read back, we got to attend the Spuni Launch event this summer, and Maximo was introduced to a new, clean way of eating. Yes, BELIEVE it. (they didn’t even pay us to say… Keep Reading
We’re still a little in denial that it is the end of summer. When did fall creep right in? No real complaints, fall is my FAVORITE time of year – however, were the F did summer go???? In true Maximo fashion, we felt it was necessary to have a summer sendoff with an ode-to-corn: Maximo’s favorite vegetable of the summer – and possibly all time. This post is purely to… Keep Reading
Being a mom is F-ING hard. And society doesn’t make it any easier. In a country where there is zero required maternity leave by companies, formula and baby clothes cost more than a weekend getaway – in FRANCE, and people shun you for breastfeeding in public, it’s a wonder how we have any family values left! Ok – if many of you didn’t see all the posts and hoopla over last… Keep Reading
FINALLY. It’s that time of year. That time when all the boys (and ladies, excuse me) finally stop complaining about all of my posts on breastfeeding and peeing in public and actually READ my blog. (Note – I HAVE actually taken and used a breast pump in Heinz Field!) Yes boys and girls, we’re talking about football season. Or – STEELER SEASON, as one may refer to it in Pittsburgh…. Keep Reading
In my twenties, I am pretty sure I was invincible. I hate to admit it (earmuffs Maximo! don’t read this and think it’s OKAY for you to do it!), but I partied hard with celebrities and athletes (shhhh!), would drive too fast, didn’t wear a SEAT BELT! (do not attempt. I got yelled at MANY times), nor a helmet on a motorcycle (I can STILL hear Jamie yelling at me…. Keep Reading
Having a baby really effs up your living chi. I used to waste money and time shopping at Home Goods for useless knick knacks (yeah, laugh you KNOW you get sucked in too). Now my home is innovative with baby food splatter all over my kitchen counter walls. My fancy hard-wood floors are now fluffy carpeting, littered with Cheerios and bananas. Sometimes I just leave all the Cheerios for Maximo… Keep Reading
