Like clockwork, after every summer vacation, Christmas vacation, winter recess and spring recess there is always, ALWAYS a case of head lice in my daughters’ classes. It’s because we all come back from our various places: summer homes, rentals, beach vacations, lake houses, visiting family in Europe, traveling to Asia and around the globe — and someone always comes back infected. It’s just the fact of going back to school!…
For the past several years, when I research our yearly family vacations, there is always one resort that I always research and always want to try: Beaches resorts. Why? Because I know Beaches Resorts are family friendly, all-inclusive and have a ton of kids activities. I know that for some the term “all-inclusive” is a big deterrent for some travelers, but I actually love going on vacation and not having…
Although New York City Schools don’t start for two more weeks (yay!), my girls are super-excited to see their school friends and get back into a routine. But first thing’s first. And because they are my girls, they wanted to do a test-drive of their “First Day of School Outfit”. Who am I to say no?! A few weeks ago, I wrote about Chaps on Kohls.com Back-to-School kids fashion. My…
To kick off BlogHer 2012 in New York City, I was thankfully invited to Trumpeting Media’s Rest and Relaxation Suite #TMRR at the classic New York hotel, the Four Seasons. Upon entering, we were greeted to a choice of a massage or new nail color graciously . Somewhat knowing what lies ahead of me (BlogHer), I chose a 10 minute massage from the women of the Four Season’s Spa. That’s…
August 10th was National S’mores Day and what better way to celebrate with some family time making some s’mores at our very own New York City HERSHEY’S CAMP BONDFIRE. Even though we live in the hustling busting city of New York City, we have cookouts on our rooftop using our building’s grills. It’s a perfect way to get outdoor family time and enjoy the summer weather. While I roasted the…
I am a big fan of the Chaps for Kohls.com brand – outfitting my family and home from my husband’s weekend wear to our girls’ bunk beds. Chaps for Kohls.com back-to-school collection is a perfect mix of denim, cargos and striped top styles for our Tween and pink girly-girl plaids for our kindergartener. Of course they have great classic styles for boys as well with plaid shirts, polos, rugbys, denim…
I had the opportunity to interview one of the owners of Cookies Kids, Sonny Falack, at their flagship store in downtown Brooklyn. I have never shopped Cookies Kids before (let’s face it, I hardly make it above 14th street in New York City, let alone Brooklyn), but it was nice to learn that the store was an easy 20 minutes via the subway from our downtown New York City apartment. …
My husband Michael and I have lived in New York City for over 21 years. I went to college here and basically never left; he moved to the City after living in Hermosa Beach, California for two years. When we got married and decide to have children, it was just understood between us that we would bring up our family in the City. Thirteen years later, we’re still very much rooted…
Last weekend was Chevrolet Appreciation Day at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania where they celebrate Chevy family loyalty past, present and future. The Triple Threat Mommy family was one of ten blogging families who were treated to a sweet family weekend in Hershey, Pennsylvania where we got to test drive the Chevrolet Traverse for the weekend. As a car-less New York City family (the Metrocard is our keys to our urban car,…
As some of you know, I have been on the quest to get my pre-baby body back through exercise, nutrition and beauty. So I was psyched when the folks at StriVectin asked me to review their new product, the StriVectin-SD Power Serum for Wrinkles that will debut on QVC at midnight on July 30th. For the QVC debut, StriVectin is pairing up their new StriVectin-SD Power Serum for Wrinkles with…
