This past spring break, we were so fortunate to stay at The Ritz-Carlton Residences in Aspen Highlands because a friend of mine let us use her time-share. I had done research and knew that it was an amazing travel experience, but I didn’t know how lus it truly was. This was the first time that we had spent at a Ritz-Carlton property and it is an unforgettable experience. Below are…
Last month, I received the Bacon Issue of The Food Network Magazine. I try to eat healthy, but there are just some things that you can’t get away from. Bacon is one of them. This Pasta with Bacon and Leeks recipe is easy and quick, and something that the whole family will love. First, I cook the bacon using the easiest method I know. I use about half the strips for this recipe and…
Even though a lot of families are either going away to a warm climate for spring break, or wishing for warm weather to hit the east coast, we are actually crossing our fingers for some cold and snow next week as we head over for some spring skiing and family and kids activities in Aspen, Colorado. Below are 6 of the family and kids activities that we’ll be hitting up in…
I love the look of navy and white once warm weather hits. It’s just so crisp and clean, but remember to pick feminine pieces so you don’t look like a sailor. I love my white wide legged Banana Republic white jeans from ages ago. Wearing it with Banana Republic wedges makes my legs look long (which I need!). It still looks new and feels great, with a touch of stretch….
For the past several months, my husband and I have been making our own healthy smoothies in the morning. It’s really quite easy, and I’m sure you have the ingredients in your refrigerator already. The new addition that I’ve added to my yogurt and fruit smoothies are chia seeds. My base ingredients for my yogurt and fruit smoothie are Almond Milk, Stonyfield Greek Yogurt, and a mixture of frozen berries…

Evenflo, gave our family an amazing opportunity to visit Woodloch Pines Resort in the Pocono Mountains while testing out Evenflo Platinum SecureKid™ DLX…
We’ve finally found a great date night babysitter to replace the one who went off to college in Pennsylvania. Which now means that I get to “dress up” once in a while (Meaning I’m not wearing my jeans and Ugg boots)! We went to a fantastic restaurant near Union Square called Ichabod’s that my girlfriend took me to for my birthday. Of course, I had to make it our next stop on…
I have been wanting to go plastic-free with our dishes and glasses for a while. I’ve thrown out the girls’ childish plastic plates (the now use our “adult” ceramic plates) and their plastic glasses (replaced with glass tumblers from One Kings Lane). The last thing we wanted to do was to have a plastic free water filter. We’ve used a plastic filter for a very, very long time now and…
