After traveling to Beaches Resorts this past summer, our family has become BIG fans. Big enough that before we left our vacation, I had booked our 2014 trip to Beaches Turks and Caicos! So it is with great pleasure to help spread the word that Beaches is celebrating ten years of ‘sunny days’ in partnership with Sesame Workshop®, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street. With the anniversary, Beaches Resorts announces…
I was introduced to pumpkin chocolate chip cookies by a designer when I worked at Banana Republic’s corporate offices six years ago. The cookies were these perfect mounds of cake-like pumpkin chocolate goodness. I must have had 10 cookies that afternoon. Ever since then, every fall, I make a couple dozen to kick off the Thanksgiving baking season. They are always a big hit, especially if you enjoy cake-like cookies….
It’s summer which means you’re hosting a bunch of summer parties and you’re going to even more. So….what happens when you go to the bathroom? Well, I don’t want to know THAT part; I’m more interested in what happens after you wash your hands. We went to a summer party yesterday and the worst part, for me, was when I went to the bathroom, washed my hands then wiped my clean hands…
When Hurricane Sandy ravaged the northeast, specifically our hometown of NYC and our beloved vacation spot, the Jersey Shore, we made it a point to say, “We’re definitely going ‘down the shore’ next year for our summer vacation.” And this past March, I booked our house down in Lavallette, New Jersey, in the same community that we have rented from the past six years. I’m a Jersey Girl: I went down the shore…
This is a sponsored post. All opinions expressed are always my own. We all know that feeling of waking up, knowing that you have to get breakfast made, lunch done, get the kids dressed and out the door, oh, and you have to also take a shower, eat breakfast, find an outfit and look somewhat presentable for the day. Wouldn’t it be great to have ONE thing off your…
This is a sponsored post. All opinions expressed are always mine. Shopping for back-to-school can be a little tough, especially when your little ones have a huge opinion on what they are going to where. Shopping, however, did get a bit easier with a new kids brand called Ruum American Kids Wear. For those in New York City, the nearest store is in West Nyack, but you can definitely shop…
I was not compensated in any way for this post. I really am a big fan of Barre3! All opinions expressed are mine. I’ve tried so hard to get back into shape and I just cannot get myself to the gym (which is downstairs in our apartment building), or go out running. I’m not a morning person, so it takes a lot for me to wake up, get dressed and…
This is sponsored post. All opinions expressed are always mine. Fall is such a great time of the year. It’s time for apple picking, pumpkin decorating and prepping for Halloween. For a mom, it also means that inevitably, someone in the family is going to get a cold, or worse, the flu. You never know when it’s going to hit, until it is too late. You notice that a couple…
This past Christmas holiday, we went to Flagstaff, Arizona for a post-holiday winter activity vacation and some SKIING. YES, THERE IS SKIING IN ARIZONA! The city of Flagstaff is only 2 hours away from Phoenix and 3 hours from Tucson, but “Flag” is a whole different eco-system. Long gone is the flat desert and Saguaro cacti, but in its place is snow, majestic mountains and snow-covered fir trees at 7,000…
