You have the school vacation calendar in hand, and now you have to decide what to do and where to do it (you know, in between figuring out what to be for Halloween, which side of the family to spend Thanksgiving with and where you’re going to put your Elf on the Shelf this time). Here’s a short list of 8 family friendly trips to take this school year. Some…
I won accomodations to Beaches Turks and Caicos by blogging about Trumpeting Media’s Rest and Relaxation Suite last year. Airfare was paid for by my family. All opinions expressed are mine. Now that the school year started, that means that it’s time to plan your family vacations around your school holidays. It’s always good to plan early so that you can get the best airfare and price possible. After writing…
It’s August, which means a lot of people are talking about Fall 2013 fashion. For me, I still want to hold on to that last bit of summer. We still have a summer vacation to be had and school doesn’t start for more than a month. So summer it is. Which means that easy (yet fashionable) summer dresses are a staple in my wardrobe. My silhouette is the Maxi Dress….
It’s the heart of winter, which means there are three more school vacations (President’s Day, Winter Break and Spring Break) that are ski-worthy. This past December, we spent our holiday skiing at two great family ski-only mountains in Utah. We are big fans of Home Exchange and exchanged with a Salt Lake City family over the Christmas holiday. We exchanged our New York City apartment and our unlimited Metrocards for…
I was not compensated for this post in any way. All opinions expressed are mine. Now that I am home a bit more (I still work out of home, but I have a bit more flexibility), I want to be able to serve home-cooked meals to the family. Of course, me being at home to actually cook a home-cooked meal is tough since I am shuttling the kids from one…
For this week’s giveaway, we have teamed up with some of our favorite bloggers.

I was not compensated in any way for this post. This post does contain affiliate links. All opinions expressed are mine. Since turning the Big 4-0, I decided to kick my beauty routine up a notch. I went to the dermatologist and told her that I just turned 40 and that I’d like to give myself a present: a prescription for Retin-A. I used Retin-A as a teenager to take…
I was not compensated in any way for this post. All opinions expressed are mine. Or of my guests. We are trying to get back into entertaining and having friends over for an intimate dinner party—with kids. The Hubby and I take turns inviting friends over. He’s in charge of the wine and beer and I’m in charge of the dinner party menu. Last weekend, friends of ours and their…
We’re big fans of keeping at least one day a week meatless in the mom a la mode household. And our go-to dish is often Pasta with Broccoli. What makes this dish a winner? The vitamin-packed, simple ingredients. The one pot, start-to-finish cooking process. It’s versatility. The list goes on… I often liken Pasta with Broccoli to the “little black dress” because it can literally be dressed up, dressed down…
