A Momma Getaway at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire

December 4, 2011

Every once in a while as parents we need a reminder to take care of ourselves. We spend our lives day in and day out catering to our families needs in one way or another, not recognizing or taking a moment out of the day to devote to ourselves. At least that’s me. Planning vacations [...]

I just can’t contain our Boston vacation into one post. There were too many amazing moments packed into a 3 day weekend to keep them wrapped into one entry, not to mention the amazing food we tried throughout. Aside from our amazing stay at the Four Seasons Boston, we had such a great time walking [...]

A Perfect Family Vacation in Boston

October 6, 2011

There are precious few times in life when you can say that you took the vacation of a lifetime with your children. Fewer still when your lives are so utterly compromised with school, work and the daily monotony of life that even family meals are scarce. During a very brief and rare break from dental [...]

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.

Hurricane Irene: Blessings in Disguise

September 1, 2011

Last Thursday was one of the craziest days I have had in a very, very long time. I was up at 5AM packing lunches, writing notes for the babysitter, finding a broadcast worthy blouse, and loading up my suitcase for a weekend trip to Los Angeles. Justin left at 7:30AM to take one of the [...]

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 [...]

NYC Scooter Cruisin’ (plus a giveaway)

August 15, 2011

Moving to the middle of Manhattan has changed so many things about our lives; Most significantly our mode of transportation. We had to quickly adjust to learning the subway system and bus schedules, rather than depending on the ease of owning our own vehicle. The first two years we were here, we relied mainly on [...]

Hershey’s Air (balloon) Delight

August 7, 2011

Hershey’s has brilliantly figured out how to marry chocolate and, well… air. I was invited along with other members of the media to literally taste their new aerated product elevated off of the ground in a hot air balloon-and it was one of the neatest things I’ve ever done. We were transported to New Jersey [...]

Foodcation with the Residence Inn

August 6, 2011

Perhaps it’s my age or the fact that I’m a wife and seasoned mother to nearly three children, but the brilliance of food and comfort have really taken a front seat on my priority list. Gone are the days when a meal was an afterthought and sleeping on an ottoman was indicative of a decent [...]
