Westchester Woman Wednesday: Meet Ali Cocco

This could possibly be the best Westchester Woman Wednesday I have shared since my first one in 2017.  Ali Cocco is the epitome of a Westchester Woman, or what I call a "mom like us."  Ali is a Westchester native, happily married, raising a wonderful

Westchester Woman Wednesday: Meet Leslie Josel

This month's Westchester Woman Wednesday is Leslie Josel.  She's quite possibly one of my most incredible finds here in Westchester, and she's not even from my usual type of eat/shop/play categories.  She fits more into my "mom life" category and she's someone I had to

Westchester Woman Wednesday: Meet Sara Davidson Johns

It's hard to believe that this is my last Westchester Woman Wednesday of 2020. I'm wrapping up 4 years of these monthly posts with this one and it's actually very fitting that this month it would be Sara Davidson Johns. As women, we are constantly

Westchester Woman Wednesday: The Modern Babe

In these trying times, we are seeing businesses change each and every day.  Some are closing, some are thriving and some are doing what they've always done, making safer and better than ever.  Ashley Lucien and Isabella Valenti learned and adapted very quickly this fall

Westchester Woman Wednesday: Meet Stephanie Newman

Since October is National Bullying Prevention Month, I figured it would be the perfect time to address this very important topic as it relates to moms.  The topic of bullying is not new to anyone so I don't expect that I am sharing anything you

Westchester Woman Wednesday: Meet Corey Cook

It's back to school time and even though we are living through a pandemic, the first thought I have when I look at the school calendar in September is "travel."  On a normal school year, I map out where the school breaks and long weekends

Balcony Ballads in New Rochelle

New Rochelle was the first containment zone in our area in early March. A public battle between the Superintendent of Schools and Governor Cuomo took place, the one-mile radius was issued and it prompted the first school district closing, followed by Tuckahoe, who had a

Westchester Woman Wednesday: Meet Melissa Tomlin

This month's Westchester Woman Wednesday is Melissa Tomlin.  There's only one word to sum her up:  she's the ultimate connector.   About 4 years ago, maybe even longer, a friend told me she met this really nice woman in a Japanese restaurant in Elmsford.  She said,

Bra Shopping with Laura: Fit By Burke

Every January I have my annual mammogram.  It's also the month that I get rid of my old bras and buy myself new ones.   Year after year, I would say the same thing to myself in January.   "This is the last year I am buying

Westchester Women Wednesday: Meet Debbie and Erica

For the first time, I am sharing two Westchester women for Westchester Woman Wednesday.   In my travels, I meet some really fabulous women;   Erica and Debbie are two of the best.    I was visiting an in-store event at Quatre Filles in White Plains last

Westchester Woman Wednesday: Meet Sue Wald

[envira-gallery id="9302"]   I met Sue Wald about 5 years ago when she was the General Manager at Westchester's only Athleta Store.  She was the first person to introduce me to skinny jeans.  I will never forget it.   I was trying on clothes and she brought me

Westchester Woman Wednesday: Meet Rachel Chan

Each month we feature a woman in Westchester who falls into one of our preferred categories:  eat, shop or play.  This month we are featuring someone who falls into the "play" category, mostly for kids.  Rachel Chan is certainly our youngest Westchester Woman Wednesday yet. 

Westchester Woman Wednesday: Meet Nicole Steinthal

  This month's Westchester Woman Wednesday is Nicole Steinthal.   She's a lifestyle blogger as well and she's got one foot in Westchester and one foot in Greenwich.  She's a supermom to her college-aged son, TJ and two daughters, Daisy and Peyton.   She posts on her blog daily

Our Etsy Shop

Your business isn't complete until you have a website;  And Facebook page, a Twitter Account and an Instagram.  A pinboard on Pinterest is on the back burner right now

Westchester Woman Wednesday: Meet Shannon, Lori & Christine

I'm thrilled to share this month's choice for Westchester Woman Wednesday.   In fact, I should say "women" because it's a trio of talent that has taken The Dance Gallery in Tuckahoe to a new level.   The Dance Gallery had been previously owned by Stephanie Urbina
