The Perfect Margarita was found in the 100th Anniversary Perfect Ball® Mason Jar {Giveaway Closed}

They had me at $5 margarita.  Oh, but did I walk away with so much more. It was our first night in Del Mar, California just a few weeks back, and the hubs knew of a quaint spot for dinner called Americana that prided itself on fresh, local ingredients and sweeping sunset views over the […]

Redefining My Voice: What Sheryl Sandberg Taught Me at BlogHer ‘13

If you’ve followed my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter feeds over the past few days, you know that I was in Chicago for the BlogHer ’13 Conference. What exactly is BlogHer and why should you care about it?  More on that from CNN. Why did I travel to my second favorite city in the world, sitting […]

Our Musical Journey (and why we LOVE Music for Aardvarks)

I’m pretty certain that my toddler son has been bit by the music bug.  This kid can surely hold a note, hum a melody, bust a move and shake maracas like a champ. While I’m not necessarily grooming him to be the next “Beibs,” I am nurturing his budding talent by giving him as much […]

Heading North West: A Pop Culture Commentary

Late last Friday night, a gaggle of gals gathered around their neighbor’s backyard patio firepit, sipping homemade peach sangria, chatting it up and going over their week’s events. Naturally, the intriguingly named love child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West came up. North West. Huh? Exactly. And have you seen the photos of the adorable […]

My Dad is Rad

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there! To commemorate this special day, I wanted to share one of my favorite photos of my dad and me — it’s circa 1982 (ish) — and it personifies the relationship I have with my DaDa: He’s pretty much the coolest cat I know — from being […]

Open, Sesame (Allergy)

It’s Food Allergy Awareness Week, and I’d like to start a dialogue with my readers about the food allergies facing them and their families through this post. My own food allergy awareness was formed back in 2007 when I was working at The Institute of Culinary Education as their PR Manager. One of my first […]

Happy Mother’s Day!

For Mother’s Day, I wanted to share a photo of my mama and me that has a special meaning. This photo was taken back in 2005 in front of the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC, right after New York Women in Communications Matrix Awards Luncheon.  I was awarded a scholarship for grad school by New York Women […]

Meet my husband, Mike (aka: The Hubs.)  He’s been a great source of support and inspiration for a lot of my work on mom a la mode. When he expressed an interest in getting in on the “guest post” action, I thought it would be fun for you to get Dad A La Mode’s perspective […]
