I have a love-hate for running. When I tell friends this – they look at me shocked – why would I run if I don’t love it? Well, I think there are a lot of folds to this – and many of them are mental, not physical. Running is all about mental capacity. If you tell yourself you’re running 20 miles today, you will do it. If you get up… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com. I am basically the worst gift giver out there. I am terrible at ideas, wait till the last minute, and apparently don’t listen and make lists on what people really love in order to get it for them. But people are HARD to shop for, and in the world where you can get anything literally within the same day or next day delivery, it’s hard… 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
When I was in my twenties, I lived with two roommates in a massive house on top of Mount Washington in Pittsburgh. We had an open door policy – it was always open. And there was always people there. I loved that on a random Tuesday night friends would just stop by to have a smoke on the front porch – and we would all sit up for hours laughing… 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
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
I grew up on a farm – probably as country as one gets. I don’t think anyone in my family ever thought I would go city, and here I am breaking stigmas since 2010. The funny part is – if you don’t know me that well, you would never guess that I used to milk cows, drive tractors and own a few pair of cowboy boots, and love shopping for… 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
If you don’t realize by now that I am a huge advocate for farmers – here’s another fun post for you. We have been big fans of Stonyfield, especially their YoKids line, since Max was a baby – and continue to still pack them in school lunches. Not only are they organic farmers (and the world’s largest organic yogurt producer), they love to give back and help the planet, too…. Keep Reading
