I will never forget being with my father-in-law at the beach and having him point to a woman in a sun hat and saying, “I love a good hat.”
I smile when I write this because I have always loved a good hat. And I agreed with him, 100%. There’s something about a beautiful [...]

In this day and age, it’s difficult to pry kids away from the computer, the television, their hand-held games or their gaming systems. It’s just a simple truth. Technology is the only “age” they have known to grow up in. It’s something that I have to be aware of, especially being the [...]

Our Hanes Comfort Crew had an incredible day yesterday!
We started off the day at Disney’s Design-A-Tee Store in Downtown Disney presented by Hanes. It was the COOLEST shop for the boys (and for mom and dad, too!). We each got to design our very own t-shirt. We got to pick what Hanes [...]

My niece turned 8 years old yesterday. 8 years old.
I remember January 14th, 2001 like it was yesterday. I was living in New York City at that time, and my mother called me to tell me that Nicole (my sister-in-law) was in labor. I called (my-then-fiance) Matt and told him that I [...]

In the past week, three of my NYC friends have lost their jobs. One is an investment banker. One’s in fashion. And another is a waitress.
It’s scary.
Are they married with families?
The investment banker is. The fashion friend is. The waitress isn’t.
It’s scary for all of them. The kind of [...]

September 28th, 2008.
Alexander’s 3rd birthday.
The “Happy Birthday” phone calls all started rolling in around 7pm. Aunties. Uncles. Cousins. Grandparents. And friends.
By 9pm, Alexander had had enough of the “Happy Birthday” singing on the other end of the phone.
Case in point - Phone call from Pap Pap in Pittsburgh:

With William and Alexander’s birthdays being this past week, I scoured through tons and tons of photos of them throughout the past 4 years. These are my precious memories captured in time. The moments I won’t forget. The faces that have changed and grown. It was amazing going through the photos…

4 years ago today my William was born.
It was a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in New York City.
William’s delivery was not an easy one… I pushed and pushed and pushed (and pushed some more) for hours. I just kept looking into my husband’s eyes, with tears down my cheeks and thinking, “I just want to [...]
