Because natural isn't always possible — or easy.

Busy today. Stories to edit. Stories to research. Story to write. Still, couldn’t let Friday go by without a fun Favorite Things column. I’ve gathered up some interesting new Web sites. Hope you enjoy! And since I love recounting my own Favorite Things: Keira went from three word sentences to ten word sentences this week. [...]

I have spent almost the entire week with the kids. Snow, my husband’s operation, more snow. It’s been a mommy-and-them week. We spent a lot of time outside, and loved it, which is why today I am posting some tips to help you make the most of your time outdoors. Enjoy! Find a new locale. [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve written a true cool things-focused Favorite Things Friday, so I figured I’d go back to my roots. For all my new readers — and there are a bunch of you these days — Favorite Things Friday is my opportunity to write about things I have seen and liked recently. [...]

One of the things I dislike the most about the green movement is the fact that so many people discount it. Case in point: This week a new study came out from The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Pew surveyed more than 1,500 Americans via telephone, asking them about their biggest [...]

My baby turned 19-months-old yesterday. About a week ago she’s started asking why whenever we told her something. “Keira, time to put your pajamas on.” “WHY?” “Because it’s late, and you need to go to sleep.” “WHY?” It is seriously so cute I can’t help but smile, even as she is driving me nuts with [...]

Here in New York we’re hearing rumors of a giant, paralyzing (yes, a newscaster actually used that word) snowstorm coming our way. Giant. I think I am in the minority when I say I am actually really excited about it, even though I haven’t done any Christmas shopping yet except for what I’ve bought for [...]

We went away for a few days to an unnamed theme park. (I wanted to provide a look at how the resort was going green, and asked for a few interviews but the theme park PR people refused me. So the resort doesn’t get a shout out here!) While I was there, I realized that [...]

I’m posting this late today. My kids slept until 9:10 a.m. We were woken up by my friend Lori. Every year she wakes up at 3:30 a.m. to go brave the Black Friday sales. I texted her last night, asking if she could pick up something from Kohl’s for me. A Barbie cruise ship that [...]

Did you know your tongue is directly connected to your feet? I didn’t, either. This past Saturday I took an amazing class at Little Yoga House. The Anatomy of Breathing. It was taught by Leslie Kaminoff of The Breathing Project. Leslie, who co-authored Yoga Anatomy, was on Long Island for a Long Island Yoga Association [...]

Friends. They can be so important to our well-being, keeping us sane, healthy, and happy, and changing our lives for better or for worse. I thought I’d shake Favorite Things Friday up yet again, so — although I still selected several found-on-the-Web favorites for inclusion in this week’s list — I’m dedicating the first few [...]
