I cannot believe Tommy is officially 3 years old! We celebrated this weekend on his actual birthday which luckily was a Saturday! It’s so stupid how accurate that saying is, “The days are long but the years are short.” Right? It’s so annoying because EVERYONE tells me it but it’s TRUE. In honor of my

  I need to do more ab workouts. I do what’s easy which is usually 30 minutes on the bike. Strength training is so much harder for me and is why that’s where my results are most obvious. Why, oh why is it so hard for me to just do a silly 10 minute ab

I mentioned in a recent blog post that I wanted to lose weight. I asked if people would be interested in a review of a Keto-Veganish diet or the Whole30, two very popular diets right now. The idea here was that I would try one of these diets and report back to you with my

I don’t want to write about New Year’s Resolutions yet I find myself coming back to talk about them again and again. The reason likely is because I’m not where I want to be for the first January 1st in a long time. If you went by what the magazines say, even though we hate

My current parenting goal with Connor is to have a healthy, well fed baby who sleeps. I can’t believe he’s already 4 months old! While we waited to start Tommy on solids until 6 months, new research published this summer suggests that babies who start at 3 months sleep sounder and longer than exclusively breastfed

The latest Fitbit and Lululemon Align pants are on everyone’s radar, right? I’ll be sharing my favorite fit gifts soon for last minute shoppers like myself but more pressing are those darn kids whose toys DO sell out. As a parent, sometimes it’s hard to know what to get your children that is age appropriate

This is not a baby sleep site but I keep getting questions on Instagram about Connor’s sleep as we are just about to hit 5 months. I first shared our plan in my first baby sleep training post. I wrote that over a month ago! Then I shared another update on our sleep training just before

When most people lose motivation to workout in December, I am so the opposite. When I eat worse, my desire to workout intensifies. I love to eat and love to exercise. I use the two to balance each other out. It works for me. Working out also helps me relieve stress and anxiety so it’s

If you have friends from Rochester, you likely had heard of Wegmans long before they made their Massachusetts debut. They are obsessed! I got so many messages from you guys proclaiming your loyalty and love for this beloved upstate New York gem. Literally attached to the Natick Mall where JC Penny used to be, it

I have an exciting announcement that I’ve been waiting share since this summer. I am joining the amazing team at Move With to bring you my audio classes on the go! To celebrate, I’m giving away free 30-day trial memberships to try out the service to see if it’s something you like. Why I chose

Wow. The last time I blogged, I was sharing an a sleep update. Boy did that go out the window. Connor came down with the croup and we had to start from scratch. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be and we seem to be back on track. While I

A lot of you were interested in the Connor sleep training so I thought I would do a quick update. So after 4 days of progress I wrote this blog post detailing our method. Then for some reason, everything we were doing stopped working and Connor was up every hour it seemed! It was so

I’m starting to get to the point where I’m trying to lose the rest of my baby weight. I’m thinking more about my diet than I was a month ago, and I think you’ll notice in my latest What I Eat In A Day video. In the summer, I crave seafood and grilled steak or

Ah mommy shaming… who knew sleep training was also grounds for unsolicited advice? If you’re reading this, I hope you too are curious about what I’m doing to get more sleep, be a happier human and have a well rested child. Parents who sleep train their children reportedly are 70% less likely to have postpartum

Sometimes even the most cautious mothers can get a diastasis recti. Some people believe it’s out of our control. If you are still trying to get rid of your baby bump and it’s been awhile and you don’t have any “weight” to lose, you may have one. Here is how to check to see if

I hesitated to share workouts during and after my first pregnancy because I didn’t know what I was doing with so much conflicting information out there. I needed to go through it from start to finish to feel confident in sharing my favorite routines. That being said, here is my second workout video featuring a

New England in the fall is the most picturesque place to be in the month of October. We always try to get away for a weekend to the country. Last year it was Samoset, Maine and this year it was Quechee, Vermont. There is so much to do up in the Quechee Lakes region for

I live for fall weekends. Living in the city, we rarely plan much and just enjoy the events going on in walking distance. One event I always look forward to is the Boston Book Festival also known as the Book Hubbub in Copley Square. It’s close by, features live music and tons of free activities

They say the first 12-13 weeks after a baby is born is called the 4th trimester. The baby is still an extension of you as they adjust to the world outside of the womb. There is a lot of change and development going on here for both mom and baby. More importantly though, if you

This post is sponsored by Signify. I received product and compensation, but all opinions are my own. Tommy’s new thing is that he is afraid of the dark. We believe we are in the midst of transitioning away from a nap because he stays awake until 9-10 pm at night. At bedtime, he requests the

This workout for the most part is safe to do if you have a diastasis recti! I would modify the plank and do one from your knees or simply do a reverse plank which essentially is like bridge with hands underneath shoulders and your body is parallel to the floor from your shoulders to your

Today’ blog post is about one of my favorite mom and baby workout classes in Boston. Find more classes like this in the city here.  I have known Jenn Phelan for almost 10 years. I reached out to her to do Pilates videos with me at Diet.com back in the day. It took another 5

Today’s blog post is brought to you by Fidelity and MEFA. Tommy, Connor and I will be attending the Boston Book Festival October 13th in Copley Square as part of the U.Fund Dreams Tour to learn more about how to ensure we are saving enough for their college education. We hope to see you there!
