The album features 20 kid-friendly songs including the…

I have known my husband Michael since I was five and he was ten-years-old. So basically our whole lives. His little sister has been my best friend since kindergarten, and because I was over their house a lot, he also was my first real crush in the sixth grade. Who didn’t have a crush on their best friend’s older brother?! Our paths crossed after we graduated college when we both…
About a week and a half ago, I got a tweet from @MaxwellsNYC asking if I wanted to paint their windows. I have to admit, I was a bit intrigued. I knew Maxwell’s, because they are in our downtown neighborhood and I had no idea what they meant about “painting their windows.” After speaking to Nicole, the wife of one of the co-owners, Michael, I learned that they needed someone…
Every season I have my favorite pieces that I just wear to death. Usually it’S a pair of shoes, a favorite scarf, or a go-to handbag. This Fall is no different, and four weeks into the season, I already have my Fall Fashion Favorites. LABEL+thread SWEATERS. All of their sweaters are super-modern, super-luxurious and make me feel like a super-chic-mom-about-town wearing them. Three reasons why I love this brand: their…
We live in New York City, so our main mode of transportation is the New York City subway. Other times, we love to use our bikes and scooters when we go to the playground, school or our favorite restaurant. It is a major rule in our family that no matter what kind of wheels we are on, we must use our bike helmets. No exceptions. Wearing our bike helmets…but…

I remember watching the Harlem Globetrotters when I was younger and being so completely amazed at what they could do…

I’ve said this before: we rarely venture above 14th street, except for work, but when the Trumpeting Media ladies invited me to test out the new Eat Local menu at The Garden Restaurant in The Four Seasons Hotel in New York City, I could not say no. And it was such a civilized way to end the crazy BlogHer 2012 weekend (I know, so long ago!), and to start the…
