Get Ready with Us for a Busy Winter Day! ❄️ From activities to workouts, our family is on the go constantly. As huge @underarmour fans, it’s made my holiday gifting simpler, with their easy to wear pieces that make for the perfect holiday gifts. Jason and Ryder needed great quality sweatpants and pullovers for the winter, while Siella and Gemma needed fits for their endless tennis, volley, and dance classes. And for myself -I’ve been living in these leggings and zip up! I have everything linked in my storefront in my bio, making your holiday shopping needs easier. 🎁🎄❄️

Last week I had the ultimate holiday experience thanks to @lovechicos ! I was invited to the Roxy Suite at Radio City Music Hall for a little holiday cheer before heading downstairs to see the one and only Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes. My fit for the evening was this Chico’s Sleeveless Sequin dress and Embellished Blazer that I will seriously be wearing all holiday season. If you haven’t checked out Chico’s this holiday season you are missing out, I cannot get over all of the fabulous pieces they have perfect for not only yourself, but gift giving as well! 🎁🎄🎁 #lovechicos

This past weekend, I surprised the kids and booked an Elfmoble from @Turo to get around NYC and just off for a few things from our holiday list like finding the perfect Christmas Tree. Booking a car with Turo is so easy as everything is done right in the app so there’s no waiting in line or paperwork! Excited to share that starting December 6th through the 12th, you can retrace Buddy the Elf™’s steps in one of these five uniquely festive vehicles. The cars can be booked at a rate of $20 per day (excluding fees and taxes). Booking a 48hr trip will unlock an exclusive package, including four gift cards to see Elf in theaters, delicious treats representing the elf’s four main food groups (candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup), and a stocking filled with Buddy-approved goodies. Excited to have kicked off the holiday season with our favorite character! #ad

One of our favorite things to do for some quality time is a cozy movie night in. I recently stepped up our movie night game with the help of @pcrichardandson and son and ordered this Samsung 55” Smart Tizen TV and JBL Dolby Atmos Soundbar. They even delivered and installed both electronics for me. Between the 4k quality on the big screen combined with the JBL Soundbar, we may never have to go to the theater again. Beyond grateful to have found these electronics thanks to PC Richard & Son. They are family owned and truly care about finding items that will make your home feel complete. With over 100 years of service expertise they are a company I can trust. If you are looking to upgrade your holiday movie marathons this season, head over to PC Richard & Son! 🍿🎥

Who else is in the swing of holiday shopping? This past weekend the girls and I headed to @TangerOutletsDeerPark in Long Island to maximize our shopping and find gifting for everyone on our list and might I add with unbeatable deals! My favorite part, the entire outlet is decorated for the holidays allowing you to get into the full holiday spirit while shopping. We’re major Athleta fans, so I made sure to shop for the girls this Christmas season while maybe grabbing a couple treats for myself there. We were able to tackle our full list from all the amazing stores like Hollister, Ugg, Saks off fifth and so much more! From designer stores, to athleisure and baby, you can shop everyone on your list this season at the Tanger Outlets. With holiday shopping complete, we can focus on festive fun the rest of the season! 🎁🎄🎀

Tackled my Christmas cards this weekend. 🎄Sending out holiday cards is my most favorite tradition that I’ve done since before kids. Year after year, I head to my beloved @minted for the best cards. I love their unique designs, quality, and customizable options. The variety of artistic choices allows you to find a card that perfectly suits your style, making the process of sending holiday greetings more enjoyable and personal. Super excited to send these out this week! 🎀🫶🏼🎄

I’ve been ready to transition my shoes for the winter season for a few weeks now. @naot.northamerica has tons of options in all different shades and boot styles. I love how easy they are to dress up and down for the season and the comfort is next level! Being a city girl, I tend to grab their shoes more because they are made with a cork and latex footbed for extra comfort while being easy to run around the city in the lightweight sole. Cute boots and all-day comfort is a win in my book! Shop these boots for the holiday season! 👢

When life gets busy having that schedule can keep things calm and organized. With the help of @pcrichardandson , I recently ordered a Samsung 55” Smart Tizen TV and JBL Dolby Atmos Soundbar, which they delivered and installed for me, and lets just say its made my routine a whole lot easier. While I enjoy my morning coffee and get the kids ready for school I am able to throw on my morning news without even looking for the remote thanks its its Smart TV activation. And when the kids leave for school, I can focus on me with a workout routine! Between the sharp screen and impeccable sound, my home feels like its been transformed into a workout studio. PC Richard & Son is a company you can trust when it comes to making your lifestyle work for you!

My must-have home essential: literally anything from @caraway_home 🥘 Before the holiday cooking begins, I suggest stocking up on all Caraway has to offer from cookware to bakeware, even this beautiful storage set. Caraway’s new Food Storage Set includes 14-pieces of non-toxic ceramic-coated glass containers. That’s right... no plastic! Say goodbye to harmful toxins and microplastics in basic tubberware. This set is not only non-toxic, but also safe for any environment in the kitchen: microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and freezer. Caraway’s non-toxic promise and easy cooking technology makes cooking not only enjoyable for me but healthier. Be sure to check out all caraway has to offer this holiday season.

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! 🦃🍽🍁Beyond grateful for you and this amazing community! On this Thanksgiving, my heart swells with gratitude as I reflect on the immense blessing of family. The warmth of shared laughter, the comfort of familiar embraces, and the strength derived from unconditional love create a tapestry of thankfulness in my life. In moments of joy and challenges alike, my family stands as a steadfast support system. Today, as we gather around the table, I am thankful for the ties that bind us, cherished memories and a foundation of love that makes every day brighter. Enjoy the day with your loved ones! 🫶🏼

Let’s talk about where we stayed in San Diego. The U.S. Grant Hotel was our hotel of choice in San Diego and let me just say it’s perfect for families with children of all ages. It’s the perfect blend of luxury and family-friendly amenities, and its central location in Downtown San Diego provides easy access to numerous attractions. We loved our spacious and comfortable room as well as their dining options which offer a variety of choices to suit different tastes, ensuring that even picky eaters will find something they enjoy. With its elegant ambiance and thoughtful services, the U.S. Grant Hotel creates a memorable experience for families, making it an excellent choice for a kid-friendly stay in San Diego. 🌊☀️🌴

I’m lucky enough to say that from my very first full time job till now I’ve always been surrounded by women entrepreneurs and mentors who led the way to where I am today. Women supporting other women is embedded in my core and just loved every minute re-connecting with friends, while also getting to know more powerful Queens! @lsknyc biggest thank you for having me! 💗💗💗
