The first time I heard of chia seed pudding, I was at the local Le Pain Quotidien. It was presented in this cute little mason jar with berries and was incredibly delicious and incredibly expensive. I can’t remember how much it was — I think it was either $6 or $9 — but I remember that it was more than I would’ve wanted to pay. I researched recipes online and…
The girls and I attended the Ralph Lauren Fall 2014 Childrens Fashion Show at the New York Public Library. The evening was not a normal fashion show. The evening was hosted by actress Uma Thurman and featured a live performance by the cast members of Broadway’s Tony Award-winning Matilda the Musical, based on the iconic Roald Dahl children’s novel. The runway show helped Ralph Lauren kick off a literacy program committed to boosting literacy for children…
The last time I was at the Bronx Zoo, it was over 30 years ago and I was with my grandma. It was a hot, sticky New York City day and we took a long NYC bus ride over from her apartment in Washington Heights. Living in New York City for over 22 years with two young girls, I have yet to go back (except for one spectacular wedding!) and…
I was not compensated for this post in any way. All opinions expressed are always mine. I am a denim girl through and through. When in doubt, a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt is always a staple look for me. In the summer, I love a monochromatic look of Denim on Denim. I just think it looks smart and city-chic, and a look that you just can’t go wrong with….
Last week, I attended a Travel Trends event hosted by the most gracious hostess, Nicole Feliciano of Momtrends. The event took place at The Butterfly Studios in the fashionable Flatiron District of New York City. The event showed us how to make traveling easy, fashionable and more fun, especially with a family. Easy Hair Style for Traveling We were treated to getting our hair styled by one of The Butterfly…

Living in downtown New York City means having access to a ton of family-friendly activities, parks and restaurants – all within walking distance. TriBeCa, the Financial District and Battery Park City are neighborhoods where you can basically spend a whole day with your kids playing, eating, drinking, creating and shopping. As a family, we enjoy going to Rockefeller Playground in Battery Park City, especially when the weather is nice. There’s a…
Last Thursday night, I had the chance to get a special preview of the New York International Auto Show, a day before it was opened to the public. About 50 other NYC bloggers and I were treated to “Girls Night Out” party that was hosted by the ladies of SheBuysCars.com in the Toyota space of the show. We had the chance to learn more about style, health and organization in…
It’s been a while since we have had a family portrait session, especially one in our apartment in New York City. I am not one for “studio portraits” because I like the more casual nature of outdoor or on-location photos. I am so glad that I was introduced to Jane Goodrich Photography, who graciously offered us a complimentary family portrait session this past winter. {And you’ll have an opportunity to win…
For spring break, we had the opportunity to use a friend’s residence at the Ritz-Carlton in Aspen Highlands in Aspen, Colorado. I heard about people going spring skiing before, but we’ve never had the experience as a family. My husband and I asked some avid skiers about what they thought about spring skiing and got mixed reviews — simply because it depended on the weather. Since we had a fabulous place…
