It’s officially 63 days till Christmas (but who’s counting?). There are two kinds of holiday shoppers – those who prefer stores, and those who prefer online. Since I do most of my shopping online here in NYC, it’s a real treat to hit up the stores and take in all the visuals, especially for the holidays. It’s sensory overload for us New Yorkers – in a good way. I am… Keep Reading
It’s the year of self-wellness, and well, it’s almost November so if you haven’t taken advantage of this free hall pass to rest, relax and take care of yourself, mom – here’s your motivation. If you have been fitting in your energy healing, Barry’s Bootcamp, half marathon training and the occasion spa date like myself – good for you! But that doesn’t you can’t do more. I guarantee as a… Keep Reading
Can you ever have too many books? As an avid book reader (who also loves the feel of real books), I’m always looking for a new collection of reads for myself, and now the newest reader of the house – my first grader, Maximo. If you get sucked into buying new books as easily as I do, watching out – these books are totally perfect for the little readers in… Keep Reading
Some of us are born with the crafty gene, some of us are not. Some of us WANT the crafty gene. Martha is here to provide. Before Pinterest, there was Martha Stewart, and we Gen Xers had to actually watch television to understand the amazingness that Martha could create out of thin air. Few years and kids later, Martha is still creating things basically out of thin air… Keep Reading
Football season is here – even if the black and yellow might have missed the memo. Not to fear, no fair-weathered fans here. With or without Bell on the field, AB drama and Ben sporting an injury (as usual), we are still ready to rock each week in our yinzer favorites. Whether it’s at the game, at home or watching the game in a local bar (or the NFL app… Keep Reading
Tailgating gets a bad rep. You think beer chugging and huge men with beer bellies slurping wing sauce, sausages and fries. Not to take all your fun out of it, but tailgating can still be tasty without all the high-calorie artery clogging. Yinz will be livid for me offering lighter options, but let’s be honest – the trick is in the trade. You don’t have to down hoagies on the… Keep Reading
Alll the joys of BTS (back to school for you NOOBS) are here people! Schedules, homework, tests and yes, school lunches. I didn’t realize that going to our school meant making school lunches for basically the rest of my life. That’s a commitment, so anything making that morning routine easier is MUSIC TO MY EARS. But I also have a picky eater. So all those fancy cute lunches you parents… Keep Reading
Disclosure, those of you who knew me from Pittsburgh, I must admit something – Vera is gone. It was a good few years, but it was time. Vera (my Vera Wang pillow top mattress from da burgh) was ready to retire. To make a long story short, old age is clearly catching up on me. I run a lot and it’s taking a toll on my legs and back, and… Keep Reading
One thing I know about football season – it isn’t good for the waistline. Beers and brauts in the parking lots before the home page are always fun and delicious, but if you didn’t wonder why we wear all those weird wild pajama pants to tailgate in – well now you do (no one fits in their jeans after a good tailgate!). Being a bit older and more refined (grown… Keep Reading
Enough about Bell, Ben and bad decisions. We need to get back into the game ourselves and dress ourselves like the fanatics we are. This year, there are a few on my list I really want (but a couple are already sold out!), so I’ve drawn up the five new pieces I just added to my black and gold for the sixburgh championships. You can see all the items on… Keep Reading
