It’s finally after Labor Day – meaning bikini season is dying down and we can get back to the things we love – carbs. We don’t have to keep ordering the basic kale salad for lunch -we can eat again! Football season and fall is all about comfort – the holidays are coming, big sweaters and big meals. However, now that you’ve been used to all that healthy food all… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Single Edition Media. This summer flew faster than Usain Blot in the Olympics. I don’t know about you, but back to school snuck right up on us and in two weeks, Max will start kindergarten. That means new school, new friends, new uniforms AND new grown up school supplies. #NotReadyToGrowUp. So we’re slowly transitioning into this new world of school-age life… Keep Reading
I am not really sure if it’s age, becoming a mom or both – but as I’m heading towards the higher end of the 30s this year, health has become a huge component of our lives way more than ever. Even though I grew up on a farm and ate “farm to table” literally everyday, we will still had things like soda and Crisco in the cupboards. Yes. My gram… Keep Reading
Once upon a time a little girl grew up on a farm in the heart of dairy country PA. She loved to wake up early with her grandparents and head down to the barn to milk the cows. After a simple, mid-afternoon lunch of chipped chopped ham sandwiches on the wraparound porch, she would visit her Amish neighbors to drop off some fresh milk and help feed the hens and… Keep Reading
It’s pretty embarrassing, but honestly, sometimes it takes another mom company like Momtrends to PLAN an event to get me to actually allow a night out in the city anymore. With school five days a week, work busy as ever and a committed fitness routine, I am in a groove that really doesn’t allow for the fun and glamours social life that us moms are entitled to. Yes, even in… Keep Reading
As a former farmer, I am very passionate about this cause. We never treated our animals inhumanely, we saw them as the source of food they provided and had an appreciation for that. We only had as many cows as we could manage – not trying to cram them into dirty pens. They grazed pastures and feasted on the feed all winter we worked so hard to stock up in the… Keep Reading
There’s a big upward trend in organic, natural, and safe products lately, and as parents, we should be embracing it. With dangers like toxic, cancer-causing ingredients in products it’s important to be informed on where your products are coming from – and many brands out there are taking that very seriously. This includes Acure Organics, a family owned company founded on sustainable principles, who just recently added a baby line to their high-quality… Keep Reading
Tofu get’s a bad name, but really, it’s one of the most versatile foods to eat. It can take on the flavor of anything you’re cooking it with, allowing it to take the place of almost any “meat” you want to substitute it with, and still get that protein. The reason it gets a bad name is because you’re probably not cooking (or preparing it) properly. Just like you would… Keep Reading
If you’ve been following along on my 2016 goals, you’ll see I am continuing on the less is more, simpler lifestyle… 2015 was all about eliminating processed foods from our diets (okay not ALWAYS, sometimes a dirty water dog in Central Park is necessary).Then we looked into removing chemicals – from dish soap to shampoo. Then we started removing plastics and adding bamboo to cooking utensils and trading in our… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. The other day I had a conversation with a fellow NYC mom about how there isn’t a lot of talk about the chemicals in the clothing we buy, but everything we put on is made and soaked in really bad stuff. Do you even wash it before you… Keep Reading
