Family Travel to Washington D.C.
by Pam on May 29,2012
For the long Memorial Day weekend, we decided to do our second Home Exchange with a family from Washington D.C. When I think of D.C., I don’t think of it as a “family friendly” city. There’s lots of walking, a lot of museums and not a lot of playgrounds. Not the greatest combo for families. [...]
Redecorating Our Home Office with Jill Vegas and IdeaPaint CLEAR
by Pam on May 22,2012
We have this one room in our apartment, that our girls have dubbed “The Creepy Forest.” It has become the catch-all, throw everything in room, and to the girls’ defense, it’s a little creepy. We have had every intention of making the room into a functioning homework / study room / playroom, but four years [...]
Lauren by Ralph Lauren Accessories Help Me Look My Best
by Pam on May 21,2012
Last week, I graduated with my Master’s of Science in Integrated Marketing from New York University. The graduation cap and gown, possibly the most expensive polyester outfit I had received, was…well…violet. Violet is NYU’s color, but boy, did the gown have a lot of it. When I told my mom what color the gown was, [...]

by Pam on May 15,2012
Growing up in the suburbs of New Jersey, I grew up in a well-run home. My mom taught me how to shine the silver and polish the wood. Also, every six months, she changed the bedding and window treatments to suit the season, so we had a winter look and a spring look. My mom was a bit [...]

Trying to Get Healthy and Fit
by Pam on May 5,2012
The last time my body was in pre-baby shape, it was four year’s after O’s birth. I gained 52 lbs in my first pregnancy and I had a c-section which just wrecked my stomach muscles. After some consistent time working out, I got my pre-baby body back. It took four years, but I did it. [...]

by Pam on May 3,2012
Chocolate and Good Food. Can it get any better for Mother’s Day? Well, I would add jewelry, to the mix, but two out of three ain’t bad. Earlier this week, Godiva Spirits held a fabulous luncheon at A Voce Columbus in New York City for a bunch of my favorite mommy online influencers. At the [...]
