AD Looking for something fun to do with the kiddies. I took Gemma and my nephew to LEGOLAND this past weekend to experience their new LEGO Festival. World Play Day is on June 11th and every weekend leading up to it, there will be fun activations taking place at LEGOLAND New York. We enjoyed the five new play zones: The Creative Zone, The Music Zone, The Dance Zone, The Gaming Zone and The Chill Out Zone. After experience all the new zones and getting stamped, we got to push a button and make our own Play Pact as a family to continue the play and imagination beyond the park! I love this fun idea for families and I’m sure you will too! LEGOFestival is happening till June 11th and you do not want to miss this! Use my code: FEST25 for 20% off your tickets to LEGO Festival at LEGOLAND New York over the next few weeks!

As a mom, I’m always striving to stay informed about my children’s health and know the right questions to ask their doctors. For example, at 16, Ryder is part of an age group (16- to 23-year-olds) at an increased risk for contracting meningococcal disease, known as meningitis, which can spread through certain everyday activities like sharing drinks, close contact, or coughing and sneezing – things that teenagers like Ryder are doing. While many teens and young adults have received vaccination to help protect against meningitis serogroups A, C, W, and Y, they may still miss vaccination for meningitis B. While meningitis is uncommon, it is a serious illness that can be potentially fatal – which is why it is so important we take steps to help protect against this disease.
While there is no script for parenting, the more we know, the more we can help protect our teens. At their next appointment, make sure to #Ask2BSure about their risk and meningitis vaccination options. Learn more at Ask2BSure.com.

Overall 10/10 perfect Mother’s Day Breakfast in bed!

Snaps from last week at the premiere of Tucci in Italy. I’m such a fan of @stanleytucci and was able to watch the 1st episode of his new five-part docuseries premiering May 18! In each episode, Tucci explores the unique flavors, traditions, and histories that define these regions. I promise you each episode will leave you wishing to book a trip to Italy! Tucci in Italy can be watched on @natgeotv and available for streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu the following day.

With Ryder officially in college prep mode, there is so much to check off the list to make sure he’s ready – but his health is top of mind, especially after joining the @Ask2BSure Mom Community. I was surprised to learn that different types of vaccines are available to help protect against all five vaccine-preventable groups of meningococcal disease, known as meningitis... and that many teens or young adults may be missing vaccination for meningitis B (including Ryder). While meningitis is uncommon, it can be serious and life-threatening. Teens and young adults aged 16 – 23 are one of the age groups at an increased risk. With Ryder being 16 years old and focused on the future, I want to make sure I’m taking all the steps to help protect him from meningitis now. I am so glad we were able to #Ask2BSure, and I encourage you to do the same. Talk to your teen’s doctor to learn more about their risk and meningitis vaccination options, and visit Ask2BSure.com to learn more.

Sending your child to a UK boarding school before college can be a transformative decision, and I’m so excited to share for the first time the best of British Boarding Schools will be coming to NYC! This free event happening May 1st, will be hosted at the elegant Pratt Mansions on Fifth Avenue from 6-9pm. British schools prepare students for top universities worldwide. Immersion in a new culture builds resilience, adaptability, and maturity, qualities colleges value. For families seeking genuine growth and distinction, a UK boarding education offers far more than academics - it offers an edge. I’ll leave the link in my bio for your free ticket!
