I have to wear glasses quite a bit. I don’t know what happened, as soon as I turned 25 years old… my vision went ka-put! I have to be honest, I’m not a lover of glasses. They can be heavy on my face. They leave marks on my nose. They need to be cleaned all the time! LOL… the list [...]

Interesting information for moms to know about. Just heard about this recently and wanted to make sure I spread the word on my blog… Acetaminophen is one of the most commonly used pain and fever relievers for infants and children and is safe and effective when used as directed.

How to get Rachel Zoe hair Oh, yes… I’m going bananas! Have you ever tried the Rachel Zoe hair-style? It’s super easy… I am obsessed and do not want to sleep…

I had the incredible opportunity to head to NYC last week to watch the unveiling of the new celebrity ad for the Got Milk? Milk Mustache campaign.  Maggie Gyllenhaal was the celebrity gorgeously gracing the milk mustache… the ad is spectacular!

… which I’m not (that I know of, which I bet I’m terrifying my mother-in-law right now!)… you would find me in these all. day. long. Honestly, I’m kind of obsessed with these. When I was pregnant with William, Alex, Ben and Henry… there was NOTHING like this. I remember wearing leggings that were non-maternity and cutting the waist, just [...]

I remember the first day Barry and I headed outside to begin our C25K Training Program.  It was such a re-start for me and a START-START for Barry. But as with all starts, it is as crazy hard as it is crazy inspiring. I remember how the thought of running 60 consecutive seconds seemed an eternity to Barry… and to [...]

Growing up, I didn’t spend a lot of time on boats. (Being nautical, to me, meant wearing blue and white stripes.) I also tend to panic easily. I’ve outlined both of these points before. And yet, over the weekend I put my trust in Brian’s boat again – yes, post-gas-leak-incident – and yes, in Brian himself, and indulged his desire [...]

I was in labor with William for 26 hours. No joke. I was in labor with Alexander for 14 hours. (Better than William’s) I was in labor with Benjamin for 8 hours, but almost had to have an emergency C-section. And with Henry, I had to have a C-section. These deliveries weren’t easy, any of them… but I did it. [...]
