I am back from my lovely vacation on the exotic islands of Turks and Caicos, and back to reality. The beauty of traveling to a desolate island? Lots of fresh foods – seafood. Literally plucked out of the ocean and plopped right on your plate. The sea, sand and sun really are natural exfoliators of your life – all your stress, worries and concerns go right out to sea with… Keep Reading
Raise your hand if you have ever taken a road trip with kids under the year of one? ANYONE? haha – cam aaaaawwwwn – I know I can’t be the only one crazy to drive 7 hours to Pittsburgh with a toddler? Actually – I LIKE the drive – I think it’s a lot easier to pull over and let Maximo sprawl out on a blanket on the grass at… Keep Reading
No this does NOT include how to: 1. Find and live in a Friends-size apartment in the most popular area of Manhattan. 2. Sneak into Acme without a reservation on a Friday night like in Goodfellas. 3. Strut down Fifth Avenue like Carrie Bradshaw in a tiny dress and Manolos while hailing a cab – on a writer’s salary. If you honestly still believe those items exist, you must still… Keep Reading
Raise your hand if you are guilty of driving around while you child is asleep so you don’t have to wake him up?? UGH!!! Ever since we transitioned Maximo into the big boy car seat, I can’t just pop him in and out of the car for errands – or leave him in his car-seat and just carry upstairs while leaving him asleep. No I have to unbuckle and carry… Keep Reading

(haha 326 shoutout!) I don’t care if you have kids or not you KNOW you’re guilty of spending a Saturday at Home Depot only to… Keep Reading

Brace yourself. I have a sweet story to tell instead of my usual anger WTF posts. LOL. We encounter a lot of crazies in the city – the bum on bathsalts up on 30th Ave who always accuses me of stealing his toothbrush, the cabbie who purposely cuts you off to start a fight and makes sexual gestures I cannot describe in a ‘family friendly’ blog, creeps in your building… Keep Reading
I had to share this story as my civil duty to restore faith in humanity. I admit myself, especially living in NYC, that I don’t see a lot of genuine kindness throughout the day. Ride with me in the city for a few minutes dodging cabs and you’ll find yourself signing up for anger management classes. Claudio was in Dallas for work all week, so I decided to drive to… Keep Reading
So I am watching Good Morning America this AM after my ass-kicking workout with Dom (Life by the Bells) and it’s like EVERYONE is jumping on the health kick wagon – they are showing you just HOW many calories (again) are in your favorite foods – ex. this morning – Johnny Rockets Double Bacon Cheeseburger Sweet Potato Fries Apple Pie Milk Shake (actual piece of Apple Pie blended into it….
