Yogurt is a staple in our family’s fridge, especially Stonyfield Greek yogurt. Stonyfield brand yogurts are my brand of choice when food shopping because they are USDA organic, which is something I try to provide for my family: organic dairy products. They completely obsess over everything they put into their organic yogurt, frozen yogurt and smoothies (my girls’ favorite!) There aren’t any toxic persistent pesticides, artificial hormones, antibiotics and GMOs We eat…
We all know that keeping clean chompers is good for your oral health, your overall body health and it definitely helps your mental health when you have a fabulous smile. But, I am like every mom out there: super busy, lots juggling in my mind, rushing kids out the door in the morning, then rushing them back in to bed. And sometimes (well, alright most of the time) things like…
Growing up, I never went on cruises with my family. A cruise, to me, was a vacation that my grandparents took. So, for us as a family, a cruise is not top-of-mind; it was the type of vacation that we just never considered. (We had similar feelings about those all-inclusive family vacation, and boy did our opinions completely change — we are going to our second all-inclusive family vacation this…
In a sun-drenched Penthouse loft space in Midtown Manhattan, groups of bloggers were treated to stylish and innovative ways to maximize small spaces with big ideas, thanks to the practical know-how of office supply mecca, Staples®, and the smart creative style of REAL SIMPLE. White-washed Gary’s Loft was transformed into three sample work stations that showcased various ways to incorporate functionality with a splash of fashion, using products all…
On Sundays, I like to make a home made dinner, something that my full-time working mom was able to do almost every night of the week, but I try for Sundays (well, and maybe a couple other days during the week, too). I have a bunch of pins on my “Main Entrees” Pinterest Board, but this is the pin that I go to all. the. time. It’s Real Simple magazine’s Pan-Roasted…
Although we spent New Year’s Eve at a Home Exchange in Utah skiing with my family (a Salt Lake City family exchanged with us), images of New York City (our home town), Times Square, the ball dropping were not far from our minds. Up to this point, we never really think about how Times Square gets cleaned up after a HUGE party like New Year’s Eve in Times Square. All…
For the holiday season, we’ve decided to go do another Home Exchange, this time to Salt Lake City, Utah. We’ve done a few successful Home Exchanges, like to Paris and to Washington, D.C. and this time, we wanted to go out west for a ski vacation. Since skiing can be quite expensive, we thought it would be a great idea to do an exchange to offset the cost of flying and…
About three weeks ago, I wrote about how you can predict when the cold and flu season will hit your city with the achoo by Kleenex cold and flu predictor. Well…guess what? achoo was CORRECT! It predicted that our region would get the cold and flu and just this weekend, our 1st grader started to cough and get the sniffles. Well, I went out and bought some, you guessed it,…
I am so bad at decorating! I have this ‘Tis the Season Pinterest Board to help give me ideas because the interior decorating gene simply did not make it down this line of the family tree. So when the holidays come around, I get a little antsy because I just am not sure how turn the apartment into a festive and joyous place. At the recent Momtrends Holiday Event, Marie…
It’s so hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us. The smells of fir trees are wafting throughout Whole Foods here in TriBeCa, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” special has been scheduled for December 2nd, and Nicole Feliciano from Momtrends had her annual holiday get-together of influencers and editors. It was held at the Roberta Freymann showroom here in TriBeCa. Roberta Freymann’s passion is fashion and travel which shows…
