It’s Memorial Day Weekend and our own pool just opened up today – which means summer is officially here! But let’s not forget that there are some scary situations that can come along with summer-like drowning. Drowning has always been a concern of mine (my dad never even learned how to swim!), and I wanted to get Max acclimated to the water as soon as possible. He’s been avidly taking classes for… Keep Reading
In partnership with Stayfree. I turn 37 in 10 days and I just ran my fourth half marathon in the last four years. If someone told me I would be in the best shape of my life at this age, I would have laughed in my twenties – when I was skinny, wrinkle-free and totally innocent to the aging process. As moms, we put our bodies through a lot! From… Keep Reading
Home is where the heart is. But we haven’t been really feeling our home. It’s been a long 2018. It kicked off with us having to move unexpectedly, and in a matter of 15 days. Even in NYC time, that’s fast as F. Not to mention, I came down with the flu right in the middle of it. Like I couldn’t move from my bed had to have friends help… Keep Reading
General Mills sponsored this post, all the opinions are my own. It’s here folks – a New Year. We trudged through the end of 2017 really ready for a change – ready to take on the new hope of a promising year with a vengeance. This year will #bebetter. We’re moms – we are ready to take on this challenge like Travis Rice eyeing up a never attempted powder mountain… Keep Reading
Free Range: (of livestock, especially poultry) kept in natural conditions, with freedom of movement. (of eggs) produced by birds reared under natural conditions. I remember the first time I heard the word “free range.” I was confused by the definition. Growing up on a farm, that was just common sense – there was no definition because we never thought to raise our animals any other way. And listen, I have… Keep Reading
When I say my son has become a water park connoisseur by the age of five, it’s a status earned. He has visited many across the country, some more than once, and can give you a detailed breakdown of everything he loves (or doesn’t love) about each one. But one of my all-time favorites to top the list over and over is Great Wolf Lodge. It really comes down… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by Everpro Gray Away. All of the thoughts and opinions are my own. When I was in my twenties, I flew to Florida with my boyfriend at the time to visit his sister, who was conveniently married to a Miami Heat starter. These trips were always glamorous with trips to Taco Bell in a Maybach, personal training sessions with Derek Jeter’s own guy, followed by massage… Keep Reading
In partnership with Ferrero International. If you’ve been counting down the days till Christmas, you now really have a reason to be excited – Kinder Joy (those mystery chocolate toys/treats you see in YouTube videos) landed in NYC on Monday, and will be available to buy here in the United States just in time for the holidays! Don’t know what Kinder Joy Is? Billions of these eggs are are sold… Keep Reading
As organized and prepped as I am in work – I am always a last minute gifter. Hence me writing this article ON Thanksgiving as the turkey is cooking in the oven so you’ll have it in time for Black Friday deals kicking in tonight. In fact, I am really a bad gifter. I never know what to get anyone, including myself. We live in a time where everything is… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored Tai Pei, all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I haven’t been home in two weeks. I’ve been coast to coast, across time zones and planes trains and automobiles. Literally. Sometimes I don’t know what way is up. Honestly – have you ever woke up in a hotel room and not known where you are? San Fran? Great Wolf Lodge? (ok….so maybe some of… Keep Reading
