As I mentioned in my last post, I have become quite the little pinner on Pinterest. If you’re new to Pinterest, it’s basically a set of online bulletin boards you create to save (pin) ideas and images you see on the internet. When you click the image, it takes you to the site from which [...]

Hey, world! Here are a few things that have kept me busy and piqued my interest lately: Pinterest – holy mother of all time suckers. I have a whole post on Pinterest in the works, but if you haven’t pinned, get busy. Bronx Zoo – we went here yesterday for a birthday party and it was [...]
Heading Back to Work

I returned to work almost two months ago (where does the time go??) and wrote about it for Long Island Parent Source: Before I gave birth to our son Nolan last April, my husband Matt and I planned and saved and determined that I could take maternity leave for nine months. At the start of [...]

Rewind ten weeks: My last post was about my New Year’s Eve menu – yikes! Fast forward four weeks: I go back to work after nine months of being home with Nolan. Rewind three weeks: I spend most of January throwing a pity party for myself about my impending return to work. Fast forward four [...]

For now, I’ve saved money by purchasing diapers online through Amazon Mom, breastfeeding, making baby food, and having very generous friends and family who seriously hooked me up at my [...]

I have a deep love for Starbucks, and for coffee in general. When friends and family balk at the price of a Starbucks drink, I point out that the extra dollar is worth my low blood pressure, because when I visit Dunkin’ Donuts, I am inevitably frustrated and disappointed. The routine is always the same. [...]

Oh, hello there. I didn’t see you. I was busy gazing at these babies. These are the perfect holiday party treat. They are easy to make and even easier to eat. My friends Matt and Shara (holla!) brought these to our 3rd Annual Fakesgiving and they were the hit of the party. I made [...]
