Sundays

January 30, 2012

I’ve never really been a fan of Sundays until recently. Throughout my life, Sundays have indicated the impending doom of Monday… Back to school or worse, work. Since I’ve been a stay-at-home mother and wife to a student, the weekends have blurred. I’m grateful that Justin is around most weekends, but generally he spends a [...]

The Honest Company with Jessica Alba

January 19, 2012

The birth of our third child raised a common question with us: Whether or not we would cloth diaper or stick with our trusty disposables. Both my husband and I are very eco-friendly minded and try to make many-if not all-of our consumer decisions based on their ability to be kind to the planet. We [...]

Re-Emerging as a Mother of Three

January 14, 2012

The last five weeks since Beau was born have been filled with love, laughter, exploration, frustration, exasperation and many, many lessons. Jack and Zoe have been troopers as we grow and mold our lives to accommodate this new little being into our family. We’ve done everything we can to keep their lives as “normal” and [...]

Thankful

November 29, 2011

This holiday weekend was full of firsts… And lasts. We’ve never celebrated Thanksgiving without having members of our extended family in our company (although, we did do Easter alone last April!). It was a big deal last year, and it was an even bigger deal this year. We celebrated our first and last Thanksgiving as [...]

Cranberries Galore in Rockefeller Center

November 23, 2011

Every year before the holidays kick off, Ocean Spray brings a gigantic cranberry bog to the middle of Manhattan-smack in the middle of Rockefeller Center. In the realm of crazy and amazing things to behold in New York City, a 1,500-square-foot bog filled with 2,000 lbs. of floating cranberries will definitely not go unnoticed. This [...]

Silent Tsunami

November 2, 2011

October is usually my second favorite month of the year. I love the changing of the seasons, the introduction of all things pumpkin to every menu, dressing up in costumes and watching my kids enjoying the excitement of Halloween. We spent time at the Union Square Greenmarket a couple of weeks ago, gathering our gourd [...]

Boys Night with Amar’e Stoudemire

October 20, 2011

My husband is very supportive of my life as a blogger. He sees what it does for me, how I’m able to use my voice in a very unique way and the adult version of my life that I get to explore all on my own. I’ve written much about how this outlet has improved [...]

Stroller Obsession: Maclaren Volo (plus a giveaway!)

September 29, 2011

As the kids have gotten older, we’ve gotten more mobile around the city via public transportation. Where we used to walk for blocks and blocks, two kids tucked in the stroller and myself armed with a latte, we now pack light and simply walk to the nearest bus or subway station. Being that Zoe is [...]

Happy About the New Happy Meal?

September 23, 2011

My four-year-old daughter and I went first to McDonald’s in the Chelsea section of Manhattan for the launch of the new Happy Meal, an event hosted with Moms and the City. I remember Happy Meals from my childhood. Oh, do I remember them well. Growing up in the suburbs lent itself to drive-thru cuisine. It [...]

Fashion’s Night Out, Pregnant Version

September 14, 2011

This year’s kickoff to New York Fashion Week was just a teensy bit different than how I celebrated last year. As it turns out, being nearly 7 months pregnant will make you stick out like a sore thumb on a night that is filled with lanky models and super chic fashionistas. One thing I have [...]
