I went to college at NYU and being back in Manhattan always brings back wonderful memories for me. As an 18-year-old from a small ski town in Idaho, I not only learned how to navigate life in the big city, I also officially learned how to be an adult. It’s where I learned to do my own laundry, pay my rent, get myself to class (most of the time), make new friends, and how to hold my own. It’s more than a city to me—it’s the training ground that gave me wings. And while it certainly never picked me up when I fell, it did teach me to always get back up and keep moving (or get trampled). These days, I try to visit NYC three or four times a year, and every time I fall in love with a new neighborhood, shop, or restaurant. But I also have my old favorites. Here’s my NYC guide, featuring my go-to museums, stores, restaurants, outdoor activities, and hotels. MUSEUMS Along with being the largest art museum in the U.S., the Metropolitan Museum of Art is personally special to me for several […]

Um, yeah…that is NOT me. I wish it were. I so want to be that person who doesn’t procrastinate and gets the holiday prep done way ahead of schedule, but every year the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas feel shorter and shorter. I’m always scrambling to get it all done, despite my best intentions. One thing I am good at: Improvisation. Life with three kids under six is anything but predictable and I try to approach the holidays with a flexible mindset. Accepting that my best-laid plans might fall apart from the outset puts less strain on everyone. And it makes it easier to roll with the chaos and come up with a plan b (or c) when things don’t go as expected. I also keep my Mastercard saved in all of my favorite apps that help me “mom-hack” life. Sounds like a small thing, but being able to check items off my to-do list and solve unexpected problems with the click of a button can be huge—especially in a week where all […]
