My husband constantly remarks that I am the queen of hotel staycations. I am all about escaping our little neighborhood in Battery Park to explore other parts of the city. Last weekend, coincidentally for Mother’s Day we made our way out Greenpoint Brooklyn. I have to admit, I’ve lived in…

Last weekend, we strayed from whats become the recent norm of Easter out West for some family fun time on the slopes. With plenty of mountains logging record breaking snow, spring skiing was plentiful this season, and I guess we had to make the best of this cold weather than…

Our family’s love of skiing began a few years back when we took Ryder and Siella on their first trip down the slopes. Jason and I were amazed at how well they had done, and now three years later, they literally blow me away when I watch them cruise down…

Its no secret that the warm weather and time on the beach is my happy place, and for years I dreaded the winter. Stuffing kids in puffy coats, hats and gloves like little sausages can be a drag. That was the case until skiing and snowboarding has become a favorite…

T-minus four days till Christmas. I can feel the rush of energy running through the streets while people are making their last minute purchases and checking everything off their lists twice! I love everything about the hype of the holidays, but have to admit that I’ll be sad when it…

It amazes me how this city is forever changing. We’ve lived in our neighborhood for 11 years now, and I can say first hand this was not the same place back then as it is now. New restaurants have opened, stores have moved in, and there are many more apartment…

Remember I said that since school started, weekends have been occupied with soccer games and birthday parties, keeping us on NYC lockdown? Well, as much as I love living here, there’s nothing like escaping it all from time to time. I’m all for weekend or one day getaways for a…
