National Pork Month with Costco

October 10, 2011

We’ve introduced pork into our lives quite a bit over the last year. Between the many fun recipes we’ve tried in the crock pot, to roasts and chop dishes, even our kids are excited for our pork dinners. Our favorite so far has been The Pioneer Woman’s Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork recipe-our guests raved for [...]

October 10, 2011

Last week, Jack and I swabbed his room for germs and sent them away to Dr. Tanner’s Laboratories to study the results of our germ testing. The following Friday, Jack and I held a play date of sorts at home to talk about the results and discuss the benefits of being more aware of germs [...]

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 [...]

Germs in the City

September 28, 2011

Even as a “seasoned” parent of almost three, germs are one of those things that freak me out the very most. I relaxed a bit after my second baby was born, but I still carry around the WetOnes and hand sanitizer wherever we go. NYC is dirty filthy, and seeing my kid’s hands on the [...]

Savvy in Stella Industries

September 25, 2011

Having a little girl is a lot of fun. Not just because I get to put her hair in braids, or stay up telling stories about how many things she will teach her new baby brother, or how much she loves to spin and twirl as though she is Angelina Ballerina. I get to live [...]

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 [...]

American Living BTS Giveaway

My kids are now a week into school and truly loving every single moment. They love the confidence it brings, the creativity they are encouraged to explore, and their peers most of all. It’s almost like having two new little kids at our house- the routine has been SO great for them, especially being able [...]

Lens Crafters & My Mini Makeover

September 5, 2011

Two times in my life I’ve had my vision checked-both times before I turned 16. I can’t remember exactly what the reason was that I went in, but I imagine it was because I wasn’t focusing well (turns out, it wasn’t a vision issue). My eyes were dilated and they found an astigmatism in my [...]

On The Move {$50 Amazon Giveaway!}

August 31, 2011

For the past week I’ve been in suburbia, living the quiet life without any children or anything to clean. A press trip-turned-hurricane-detour has left me in the lap of luxury: A quiet, cozy space in my mother’s home, with my mom’s cooking, with full use of my mother’s vehicle. I’ve almost completely forgotten what it [...]
