Stroller Obsession: Stokke Xplory

March 14, 2013

When I started reviewing strollers, I was bent on finding the perfect one. Having been all over the city with multiple children and getting a crash course in transportation without a car, in my mind there had to be a perfect stroller. What I’ve learned over the years and various different stroller reviews is there [...]

Iron Wings

November 6, 2012

What a week. My last post brought us right up until just before our hotel lost power and Hurricane Sandy’s gargantuan breadth was beginning to descend. My naivete blared in the title of that post, predicting a paltry 48 hours of this nightmare. We are currently in Philadelphia and still under a mandatory evacuation order [...]

Traveling with the Orbit and a G2 Giveaway!

September 27, 2012

The thing about being a parent is we tend to share our secrets. In our tight circles with friends, it’s easy to discuss what has and hasn’t worked for us in terms of products, activities and other parenting trials. Out in public with strangers though, I’m always careful to not offer advise unless it’s requested [...]

Our City Escape in the Cadillac Hybrid Escalade

September 13, 2012

A wise lifelong New Yorker once told me that the secret to living in Manhattan successfully is to leave often. So very true, and yet, not quite as easy as you’d imagine without owning a car.

Fundraising with the Four Seasons Boston

August 10, 2012

Few things make me happier than vacation with my family. Even fewer are the times I can say that I was completely fulfilled within a moment or series of events that would go on to improve the lives of others. This summer, I was fortunate enough to experience both of these at one time while [...]

Travel with Kids: Tips from a Semi-Expert

June 14, 2012

I started traveling alone when I was seven years old. I guess I wasn’t actually alone alone because I had my four year old sister with me, but we were most certainly learning to fly the friendly skies at very young ages without our parents or any caregivers. I was always excited to take a [...]

Ready, Set, Relax

March 27, 2012

This morning I woke up to the soft tweeting of birds and the crisp, fresh air that engulfs my mother’s home that sits at the base of the Santa Cruz mountains. As I type this, the kids are in the back yard playing, Beau is sleeping, and the laundry is finishing it’s first cycle merely [...]

breathe.

March 22, 2012

I can hardly believe that March is almost over. The cold winds and frost bitten mornings have subsided and the streets are now sprinkled with smatterings of white and purple petals. I’m just catching my breath after what has felt like a freight train picked us all up by our ears-lifted us right out of [...]

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 [...]
