All Things Merry and Bright at the #MTHoliday Event
I’m one of those “don’t-even-talk-to-me-about-the-December-holidays-until-we-get-through-Thanksgiving” people. I love me my presents and my eggnog and my stocking stuffers and my tree-trimming trinkets, but I don’t like skipping ahead and glossing over fall’s grand finale. ...read more

Balance, Bubbly, and the Pursuit of "Me-Time" at #MTNightOut
“Balance is BS.” As moms struggling to juggle the demands of work and parenthood—not to mention those of our partners, household, friends, and extended families—these words certainly ring true. And, yet, we continue to try to have it all, do it all, and be it all. In fact, ...read more
Brunch, Baby Monitors, and the #VTechNursery Challenge
I started a baby nursery Pinterest board the day I found out I was pregnant with my first. What can I say? I was excited to register for crib sheets and plush throw blankets and stuffed animals and diaper baskets and all sorts of adorably decorative accents. I went fairly ...read more

Getting Schooled in the Latest and Greatest at the #MomtrendsBTS Event
A few weeks ago, I attended a Pre-K orientation meeting… It felt very official. My four-year-old son is going off to “real” school. (Okay, fine, it’s the prelude to “real” school, but it’s five days a week and they follow an actual curriculum—so it certainly feels more ...read more
#MTWellieWishers: Introducing the NEW American Girl Wellie Wishers Dolls
Like most women my age, I grew up LOVING the American Girl books, Samantha's stories in particular. She was bold and confident, things I struggled with as a somewhat introverted, reserved child. Being able to imagine myself as a plucky, adventurous girl like Samantha helped me ...read more

Dream Bigger, Save Smarter: Preparing for Your Child's Future With #NY529edu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cGb25FsuGY My four-year-old son says that he wants to be an architect when he grows up. (He even draws blueprints before stacking a tower with his jumbo building blocks.) Then again, he can talk his way out of anything, so he very well may have a ...read more

I'm a converted jumpsuit lover. A few months ago, I featured a black jumpsuit, now I've got a spring style update with this bright spring Jumpsuit from Talbots. The outfit was for a Talbots shopping event hosted by Instyle. The InStyle and Talbots stylish shopping soiree was ...read more
#MomtrendsTravel: Trends, Gear, Must-Haves, and More
https://youtu.be/m8WG6gF6I0Q Before I had kids, I traveled… A lot. It was an important part of my job at the time, and one that I treasured. I relished seeing different parts of the country and exploring the diverse cultures of our world. I soaked it in. I made the most of it. ...read more
Better for Baby: Inside the #ACUREBaby Event
I’ve got a 15 month old with sensitive skin. I no longer use my regular hand cream (on myself!) because it’s too harsh. I’ve had to start buying an unscented detergent. I can’t even so much as approach her with a sealed tube of perfumed body lotion—for fear that her little body ...read more
