With the holidays comes spending time with family and friends, traveling, late night shopping trips, late night wrapping adventures, lots of baking and (possibly) lots of entertaining. You need to keep yourself in healthy! Give yourself an easy, affordable gift this Holiday season and into [...]

I’m a work-at-home-mom. I run MomGenerations.com (with my mom and sister) out of my house. But… one day a week we work from my mother’s house. We update each other on deadlines and calendars and just basic work information. Today was our lunch day. I decided to bring my own lunch. My Healthy Choice Sweet Asian Potstickers. Jane had never [...]

Balance. It’s a word I’m constantly saying and constantly thinking about. Balance. Throughout my life, I’ve always had a lot on my plate. It’s never felt like “a lot” to me, but to others, it’s always seemed like a lot. In high school, besides being a normal teenager, I was a competitive swimmer. I would wake up at 4AM every [...]

Bedtime at our house starts at 7PM with Henry. Next with Benjamin at around 7:30PM. And then William and Alexander head upstairs at around 8PM. Geez… it sounds so easy when I type it out. It’s just never really that easy. Actually, with Henry it is. He happily goes to bed and then doesn’t even stir until about 6:30AM. Sometimes [...]

When I was living in NYC with my husband (even when we were engaged) – every Sunday night we would get takeout Chinese food. Every. Single. Sunday. Night. Then we moved to Rhode Island, and yes, the tradition continued. As I’ve mentioned in past blogs, my husband ended up gaining 80 pounds after we moved to NYC because of easy [...]

My grandmother called the other night around 6PM. She could hear a little bit of chaos in the back, so she asked if she called “during dinner.” I explained it was just the boys racing back and forth in the kitchen and that I was the only one eating dinner. She honestly sounded surprised when she asked, “Alone?” Ahh… my [...]

My Henry doesn’t usually mind being in his pack and play or in his exersaucer. As a matter of fact, he sometimes prefers it. But not today… Today he wanted to be in my arms. And as every mom knows, some day this too shall pass… so I’m soaking up all the holding time I can right now. It’s a [...]

January 1, 2009 I made a promise to myself that I would run a half marathon this year. I wanted to commit to keeping myself healthy this year by being active. I felt if I chose to do a certain “road-race” it would keep me motivated. I went out and bought new workout clothes. I went out and bought new [...]
