Did you see that post going around that #NYC actually has 12 seasons and right now we are in “fool’s spring”... dreaming hard of sunshine and warm weather right now! 💫🙌🏼☀️

Siella and I are kicking off Women’s History Month by partnering with @penguinkids to share the all new She Persisted chapter book series, and we couldn’t be more excited! The She Persisted chapter books are based on the best-selling picture book series by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, which has been on a constant repeat in our home. The girls and I even saw the off-Broadway play here in NYC based on the book!

Raising two girls, it’s super important to me that we acknowledge Women’s History Month. Telling stories of strong women from the past and recognizing them for their achievements empowers my daughters to understand their accomplishments and know that anything is possible for them to achieve in the future.

The first three She Persisted chapter books tell the powerful stories of Harriet Tubman by @andreapinkey1, Claudette Colvin by @lclineransome, and Sally Ride by @atiaabawi, all with illustrations by gillianflint_illustration. Siella read the Claudette Colvin book over the weekend, and is just loving this new chapter book series so much that she even shared them with her class!

As crazy as our lives can get especially during this past year, I have found that getting outside and moving my body helps me get through the day. Even if it’s just for 20 minutes, I feel so much better when I do, whether its walking on the promenade, taking our pup to the doggy park, or jogging along the skyline. Beyond thrilled to announce that I am now one of @Reebok & @DSW’s Leading Ladies for their DailyFit shoe. I’m obsessed with this shoe, it’s made specifically for women with DMX TripleMax Moving Air technology! They make me feel like I’m walking on clouds. They truly allow me to dream and escape and take a little time to myself each day.

This International Women’s Day, March 8th, I’ll be doing a live chat with @Reebok and some fab ladies answering all of your questions about the Daily Fit, so be sure to head to my stories and leave your questions there! #ReebokPartner #ReebokxDailyFit #OwnTheDay @dsw #myDSW

Diaries from the new kitchen...truth is I adore cooking and cook all the time but never showcase it because my NYC apartment kitchen is just too small. Nothing ever looks good because of the lighting and aesthetics etc. Fast forward to this new kitchen that wasn’t even meant to get a re-do! Today I had this omg moment that this is now really mine! I can’t wait to share my favorite recipes with you all! First I’m highlighting two fav must haves when recipe developing. @jenniferfisherkitchen and @fancy_peasant have stock in both my kitchens and I seriously never cook without them! Excited to see where this new series goes! What should the hashtag be?! 🍽🍾

As many of you know Texas is in a state of emergency after winter storms have left millions without power and resources. While there is an issued state of emergency and victims have access to federal assistance, there are still a number of people needing food, shelter, and warmth. And there are ways YOU can help from afar. I’ve listed a bunch of easy resources for you to donate to over on the blog. They need all the help they can get right now, so any amount will make a difference. And please if you know of any others that aren’t listed, please leave a comment below with the information! #texashelp #texas #texasstrong #giveback

Another year around the sun and couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you so so much for the calls, texts, dms, and most of all the ones (you know who you are) that contributed to the most epic birthday video ever. Over an hour and a half of birthday messages, songs, jokes, memories that I could watch over and over again! Not quite the big birthday we had planned, but the magic was still very alive and well over here! 🎉💕🎂 #forever29 #birthdays #birthdaygirl #celebrate

Gemma recently asked for a phone so she can stay in touch with her friends. Under normal circumstances I would’ve said no because I personally think she is too young. But since we aren’t socializing like we use to and play dates are few and far between, I did some research and discovered @gabbwireless. It’s a simplified phone for kids with no social media, no internet, no games, and no worries for me! She can call and text and nothing more. It’s been the cutest watching her chat away with friends and family members. Oh and her random “I love you mom 🦄🌈” texts are simply the best! ❤️ I have a promo code on the blog if you’d like to check it out! #livelikegemma

Early Valentine’s surprise from @emilyandashley 💘💘💘

I’ve been a huge fan of Emily & Ashley for years now. From my charm necklace that I was able to design to my initial/star one that I rarely take off! I’m now obsessed with this vintage heart shape initial locket, that I will for sure pair with my others. Inside there’s two family pics from my most favorite places and fav memories. Each piece they create are heirlooms that I know will be passed down to my girls and for generations to come! 💘

This year, I wanted to revamp my own workspace so I turned to @amazonhandmade to help me out! Have you ever explored #AmazonHandmade? It's a super unique storefront on @amazon where you can shop from Makers around the world. Each Maker is vetted by the Handmade team to ensure products are handcrafted. I wanted my space to feel like my own oasis, where I can focus on just my work. I found a candle that says “Boss Lady” (to keep me zen), 2021 weekly and monthly planner in galaxy print, a “What’s For Dinner” meal prep pad, watercolor wall calendar, and a Girl Boss quote. I’ve been so inspired by Amazon Handmade and all of the amazing products I found from home decor to unique gifts and more, I created my own storefront (link in bio)! You can easily shop the Amazon Handmade store by going to amazon.com/handmade.

Siella’s ballet school is just up the street, as was my old work office space, so needless to say this street was like my second home and hood. Truly appreciating the little things these days and for sure missing that beat and hustle of NYC. But it’s getting there, slowly 🗽🙏🏼 #nyc #nycforever #newyorker #newyorkornowhere
