I do it every January. It arrives, it’s cold and we’re cooped up and I wish I had booked snowboarding trips for the winter. When you wait till last minute, usually all the good resorts are booked up (if you’re staying overnight). It’s not easy to remember to book a trip and wax that board of yours in the hot summer months, but ski/board season actually runs October through April… Keep Reading
If you’re anything like me, you gave up a few things when you became a parent – late nights out on the town, heels and sleeping in on weekends. They all say – stay true to yourself! Find time for you! And as much as we all want to believe that and TRY – it’s just not that easy. It only takes five minutes to meditate a day they say,… Keep Reading
Ball. Bacon. Beers. Three of my favorite things and if I can get them all in one place, you’ve hooked me for life. Especially when said place is also delicious AND kid-friendly. Enter one of my new favorite hidden gems – BarBacon in Union Square. There are so many reasons to love this place. One – it’s convenient to get to. Two – it’s not your average sports bar. Not… Keep Reading
1. You want to arrive early. All the regulars know that you show up early. As in two hours before the show early (sometimes sooner!). We arrived at 3pm for our 5pm showing and there was already a line outside! Not to worry, they let you in the building early and there is also some fun entertainment outside to keep you busy while you wait. Keep an eye out for… Keep Reading
Where I come from – there is only one football. But outside the bubble of black and yellow, an entire world of international futbol exists. And it’s following is massive. In fact, soccer is really taking over the US this summer – the World Cup just announced it’s coming to North America in 2026, and the International Champions Cup is coming right to NYC and get this – Pittsburgh! In fact,… Keep Reading
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
Because you can never really have enough holiday gift ideas. Or parties! At least I can’t because I am (1) the world’s worst gift giver and (2) never have time to research and get creative. So I depend on these lists. And I know you hear me out there – you depend on them, too! So after crashing the annual Momtrends Holiday Party (even after trail biking all day upstate… Keep Reading
Who doesn’t love the holidays as a kid. You look back and remember magical moments, twinkling lights and tons and tons of food. There was never a shortage of food. I still remember the food. We weren’t your “let’s sit down and eat” kind of family, it was more of a wild messy and chaotic pot luck. There were always tons of people in and out visiting all day, and… Keep Reading
Been thinking about grabbing a Citi Bike membership with all the expansions into the boroughs? The ever-increasing public transportation fees has brought New Yorkers to the point of seeking out other options to get around, and it’s almost impossible not to jump into this trend – but just do so with some bike safety facts. While you’re out and about – notice the new wrapped docks from Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent… Keep Reading
I think it’s safe to say that every parent wants their child to learn how to swim. But really – how do you DO that? We’ve tried a couple classes here and there since Max was born, and I remember vaguely going to classes as a child myself. They weren’t so nice back then and I still remember jumping in when they said they would catch me and I went… Keep Reading
