Come spend the morning with me as I go on a Heart In The Park tour with the Central Park Conservancy! Central Park has been a destination for important parts of my life for as long as I can remember. Now that I’m a mom, it’s a location my kids are now enjoying as well and from memories being made to celebrations and a quiet place to focus on self discovery, Central Park is New York City’s backyard for the entire city. Through donations, you can help the #CentralParkConservancy preserve and nurture this destination that serves different meanings for every New Yorker and stands as a true green oasis for us all!

Happy almost Thanksgiving! I wanted to share my favorite Laurent-Perrier is always at my dinner table for every holiday. 🥂 It’s an excellent choice for Thanksgiving celebrations because its elegant and versatile Champagne pairs beautifully with the diverse flavors of the holiday feast. The Brut La Cuvée offers a crisp and fresh profile with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a delicate minerality that complements appetizers. For turkey and richer dishes or desserts, the Cuvée Rosé, with its vibrant red berry flavors and lively effervescence, provides a delightful contrast. Champagne also adds a touch of sophistication, making the gathering feel extra festive and special. Laurent-Perrier’s refined style ensures it enhances the meal without overpowering it. Cheers! 🍾🥂 @champagnelaurentperrier #thanksgiving #thanksgivingtable #laurentperrier #laurentperrierchampagne

It’s been a minute since we updated our kids bedroom here in NYC , and since we’ve been obsessed with the way our guest bedroom Out East was transformed by @selectblinds, I thought they would be a perfect addition to their room here. This time I went with Select Blinds Coastal Roman Shades in pearl white #NoDrillBlinds, and have to say WOW - I did the entire process myself. The No Drill Blinds come with tension bars and levers to fit any window frame in your space and are totally adjustable. With over 40 options for colors, fabrics and styles, the blinds are perfect for seasonal transitions and are perfect if you are a renter like we are here in the city. The kids love their room refresh and now I might need to do our entire apartment. No drills, no frills, no hassle! Leaving the link in my bio for you for to discover these game changing blinds! #BlindsYoullLove #NoDrillBlinds #ad
