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. 🌊☀️🌴

This week, I had the honor of attending @manhattan_magazine Women of Style luncheon. Being surrounded by inspiring girl bosses who lift each other up is exactly what it’s all about! The panel included @candacebushnell (such a fan!), @aerinbeauty Aerin Lauder, @whatmovesher and @shararehsiadat!

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! 💗💗💗

Guess who’s hosting Thanksgiving this year?! 🦃 I got a head start on my table decor set up because I know the recipes will be the focus starting next week. I love a good tablescape, but the star of the show will be my magnums of @champagnelaurentperrier . The Cuvée Rosé, my personal favorite pairs perfectly with turkey, and will for sure add that special touch to my tablescape. Not to mention these magnums are the best for when hosting lots of guests! And it’s only fitting as we gather with our family and close friends this Thanksgiving to mention Laurent Perrier are a family run and female led company, something I love so much. Oh and I had to share the Rose Pedal cage on the Cuvée Rosé - perfect for gift giving! Would love to hear who else is hosting this year?? 🥂🍾🦃

The holidays are always the busiest time of the year. But sometimes, it’s okay to cancel plans and use the excuse you have to clean your home. Luckily, my cleaning is easy with my @irobot. So easy with voice activation thanks to @Alexa99. All I need to say is “Alexa - tell Roomba to clean the living room”, I don’t even have to get off the couch! It vacuums my carpet and mops my hard floor floors simultaneously. With Roomba, I can always make time for nights like these. It even picks up the popcorn after us! Enjoy the holidays and shop for your lifesaver to survive the holiday season using the link in my bio.

Come with me as I surprise the girls with a Royal Day 👑! We started off at the @museumofbroadway to check out the Six Royal Gallery which was the coolest, next it was off to @bond45nyc for a delicious dinner in their Six themed corner! After dinner, it was over to the Lena Horne Theatre to see @sixbroadway. We loved the show so much, the music, the costumes, so so good! After the show, the girls and I hung out by the stage door where we met the cast and they had them sign their playbills! A Royal Day indeed, and one to be remembered for a lifetime!

TIPS for a successful shoot and a little behind the scenes from our holiday photo card shoot! 📸

1. Photographer is key! For the past three years @davi_livingston has photographed our family. She flies in from AZ each year and usually sends me her dates in the summer. Some of my other fabulous photogs are @nadialeonphotography @michellerosephoto @claudinewilliamsphoto

2. Theres nothing I love more than coordinating outfits, we just published an entire blog post on our outfits last week, go check it out. But this year I went for classic beige and black.

3. Location! This has always been super important to me. I love a good NYC backdrop. One of my fav shoots was back in 2012 on the subway! I like to change it up each year and this year decided on Tribeca.

4. Time of day! Lighting can be tough so we usually do all of our shoots in the morning hours, this also helps with avoiding crowds and people in the background.

5. Take your pics in October. The earlier the better for me, that way I can check it off my list, and also don’t have to worry about the temps being super cold. (Clearly for us NYC peeps)

6. Most important tip. Printing (& sending!) out your cards. I use my trusted @minted for the past 10 years now and just loveeee their quality and designs! Stay tuned in the next week or so for a fun giveaway with them! 😉
