My husband and I have been going to Montauk alone every summer for a few years. It has become “our place”.

Parenting a Tween: the good, the bad, the ugly
The truth is, it never gets easier, only harder in different ways. This is not meant to scare the mamas of young kids, rather to let you breath a sigh of relief that whatever stage you are in right now, know it is just that- a stage, and this too shall pass. But look out for the tween stage! I was not prepared for this one…
Taking Time for Me
Since the year was coming to an end, I figured I’d check out some local businesses who could make me feel relaxed and taken care of and most of all, could provide me with some much needed “me time”.
What the “F” to do with the kids this winter

Now that the weather has finally changed and the temps are getting colder, it’s time to break out the winter coats….To me, spending on an investment piece, like a good quality coat, is essential if you live in a place where winter ravages for months.
