We have this one room in our apartment, that our girls have dubbed “The Creepy Forest.” It has become the catch-all, throw everything in room, and to the girls’ defense, it’s a little creepy. We have had every intention of making the room into a functioning homework / study room / playroom, but four years in our apartment and The Creepy Forest looks like this: We’ve got random pictures, an electric…
Last week, I graduated with my Master’s of Science in Integrated Marketing from New York University. The graduation cap and gown, possibly the most expensive polyester outfit I had received, was…well…violet. Violet is NYU’s color, but boy, did the gown have a lot of it. When I told my mom what color the gown was, she asked, “Oh boy, what are you going to wear UNDER the gown?” Thankfully, I had…
To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Hershey’s® Chocolate World® store in Times Square underwent a sweet facelift. I was invited to check out the new interactive experiences that every family member will enjoy. And, who wouldn’t? It’s HERSHEY’S® CHOCOLATE! When you first enter the store, you are greeted to the new “Taste Hershey’s Happiness™ station where different Hershey’s samples, including new products, will be available for a taste test. When I went,…
Growing up in the suburbs of New Jersey, I grew up in a well-run home. My mom taught me how to shine the silver and polish the wood. Also, every six months, she changed the bedding and window treatments to suit the season, so we had a winter look and a spring look. My mom was a bit like Sandra Lee from “Semi-Homemade” where her set changes depending on the season or the…
Need something to do with your Tween this weekend in Tribeca? O and I and a couple of her friends will be joining Torly Kid at their Fourth Annual Tween Party. It’s an all-afternoon Fun Fest that starts at 11am with Sarah Mlynowski, who will be reading and signing copies of her brand new book, Fairest of All, the first volume in the Whatever After series. There will be airbrush designs by Mike Barile…
The last time my body was in pre-baby shape, it was four year’s after O’s birth. I gained 52 lbs in my first pregnancy and I had a c-section which just wrecked my stomach muscles. After some consistent time working out, I got my pre-baby body back. It took four years, but I did it. It had only been a month or so and then, I got pregnant with our second…
Chocolate and Good Food. Can it get any better for Mother’s Day? Well, I would add jewelry, to the mix, but two out of three ain’t bad. Earlier this week, Godiva Spirits held a fabulous luncheon at A Voce Columbus in New York City for a bunch of my favorite mommy online influencers. At the luncheon, I got a sweet and tasty education that Godiva is more than just chocolates…
Here are my three favorite shoes — I updated this post to include Birkenstocks — which have become summer favorites for my kids. This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for supporting Triple Threat Mommy! A few years ago, I was introduced to Keen and Salt-Water® Sandals by friends. I noticed that their girl’s shoes looked comfortable and wearable, especially in the New York City summer heat. When I find…
Because my girls are older I sometimes wish that all these baby, infant and toddler products and services were available nine years ago when I had no time to do any research, but needed lots of help. I mean, let’s get real. Eight years ago Facebook, Twitter and Instagram weren’t even invented! Now, new moms have the world at their fingertips – literally. By pushing a button on their iPhone,…
As a woman and as a person, it’s tough when your skin doesn’t let you shine through. It’s even tougher when the presence of your skin affects how you feel. With rosacea sufferers, its not just their skin that is affected, but their mental-well being. It’s Rosacea (ro-za-sha) Awareness Month, which means we all can help raise awareness about this skin condition that effects over 16 million Americans while only 10% of…
