I have the worst time buying bathing suits. Not only because I HATE trying them on but I also find it impossible to find a bathing suit that fits right. Either my tush is hanging out the back or my boobs are not big enough to fit in the top, etc. Just a mess. I only wish my tush was this perfect!… Read More

I have been to a lot of yoga studios. From Montclair to Chatham to Summit. I won’t count the studios I have been to on vacation because they are always one and done. I have learned after many years of practicing yoga: 1) I am just okay. Yoga is about patience. Getting there is easy but learning is hard. I… Read More

Everyday 3pm I fall apart. I have a healthy breakfast, healthy snack, healthy lunch and then 3:00pm rolls around and I’m off the wagon, completely. Every. Single. Day. It’s true. I have tried shakes, veggies with hummus, veggies with guac, but I still crave more. The Kale & Co detox I just did recently came with these protein balls that… Read More

If there is one thing I wish I could go back and do when I gave birth to  Zach and Parker it would have been to hire a newborn photographer. I think when I had kids a decade ago, newborn photographers were not a “thing”.  I had family pics taken but not the professional newborn pics you see on Facebook… Read More

Mother’s day. Every Mother’s Day we do the same thing. Drive into the city, grab brunch at Barney Greengrass or Sable’s and have a picnic in Central Park. Simple, easy and chill. We do Mother’s day with my mother-in-law the day before and since my mother’s birthday is May 5th, I normally celebrate her birthday and mother’s day the weekend… Read More

Last month was crazy. Between the 40th Birthdays and the traveling I do not think I have really had any alone time with Greg. It has been a whirlwind of activities. Greg and I needed a night! I have been dying to go to A Toute Heure  ever since I wrote about 100 Steps a few month ago. One of… Read More

After Passover and Spring Break I needed a detox. I didn’t want to do a juice cleanse because I like to eat and I needed something that was portable, manageable, easy and delicious. I did some research and came across Kale & Co. Before I even get into this whole post, I have to tell you that if I could… Read More

I am the world’s worst flier. Worst. Something about having no control and knowing that if god forbid something did happen my chances of survival are slim.Yeah, that about sums it up. When you become a parent though, you have to somehow hide all that scaredy catness. I can’t find a way to do that. My kids laugh at me… Read More

3am – as always – I can’t sleep. These are my thoughts I am getting on a plane in 5 hours,  I need to sleep but I can’t so maybe if I write down everything I am thinking about I can fall back to sleep for an hour or so. MAYBE.  If I don’t, it is going to be an… Read More

I am so happy it’s spring but…. But what? Sports.  I have a 7 and a 9-year-old who play sports. BOTH play soccer and baseball. In spring this is DEADLY. Why? This is why….today, Parker (7-year-old) has soccer from 4-5 and then he has baseball 5:45-6:45. Zach has a baseball game at 5:45. Okay, I am one person. I can’t… Read More

About a month ago, my good friend, Dara,  asked me to go with her to take a new class in Montclair. The studio, Corefire,  just opened a few weeks prior and she was RAVING about it.  She told me it was kind of like pilates but way harder and the class left you sweating by the end. It is meant… Read More
