Posted in NY, Wordless Wednesday by jessica on May 1, 2012

Who needs to go to the playground when you can just hang off the support beams from a scaffolding in the middle of a NYC street?!

Mother’s Intuition #cleverhaiti #spon

Posted in Parenting, Products by jessica on May 1, 2012

This Mother’s Day, I’m working with Clever Girls in support of Macy’s Heart of Haiti to shine a light on the “trade, not aid” program, which provides sustainable income to Haitian artisans struggling to rebuild their lives and support their families after the 2010 earthquake.

When I was invited to share an important mothering moment, I racked my brain for quite a while…until I realized that all I had to do was go back to the very, very beginning of my parenting journey.

June 2006.

I went to a regularly scheduled doctor’s appointment and discovered that, due to sudden onset severe preeclampsia, I was to be induced that evening…at 37 weeks.

It’s a Very Veggie World with Country Crock (Pizza flag recipe)

Posted in Crafts, meatless monday, Media Events by jessica on April 30, 2012

I must admit, I have never had a problem getting my kids to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. I know, though, that I am in the minority (don’t call it luck–it’s at least 95% training!) and that parents sometimes resort to all sorts of subterfuge to get their children to eat healthy. Ick. Please don’t hide spinach in your children’s brownies–it’s doesn’t pack that much of a nutritional punch and definitely doesn’t teach them to eat healthy.

Clare Crespo, along with Country Crock, has come up with a whole bunch of really fun recipes (kind of like food crafts) which could probably coax even the pickiest eater to take at least a tiny bite.

Wordless Wednesday: Making Birthday Cookies

Posted in Wordless Wednesday by jessica on April 24, 2012

My daughter turned 3 this past Friday. One very important birthday activity was to make the dough for the cookies that her friends would decorate at her party. I think she made sure to touch every grain of flour

Oh, and yes, it turns out that I make bizarre faces when I cook, lol

Business Cards from Uprinting (Giveaway)

Posted in Giveaways by jessica on April 17, 2012

As some of you may know, I am married to my graphic designer. (Shameless plug–he actually won a Graphic Design USA award for my logo and branding!)

I always seem to realize that I need a new batch of business cards at the very last minute and I hate to keep making the hubby ask his printer contacts for favors.

Ordering a batch of business cards from Uprinting,com seems like a pretty good option. I haven’t yet tested out the quality of their print job, but I’ll report back when I get my new cards.

Uprinting.com is providing a business card package to one lucky winner, which includes:

250 Die-cut Business Cards for one (1) winner
