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
Summer 2020 wasn't a total loss. Our usual family travels did not take place but we found lots of local alternatives. Fortunately (and unfortunately) we live in a state that has lots of rules restrictions in regard to travel. I figured we'd be best sticking
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
As you may recall, Shawna was the main "food and dining" writer for many years. She's not writing as much due to the increased workload at her day job and she is now dining out less because she's cooking! She never cooked and actually dined

For 8 years, I have tried to keep this blog focused on things just for moms. There are so many websites and resources for Westchester Families and Westchester Kids so I wanted it to keep it as a space moms, even women without kids, but
This post needs no explanation or text from me. I found this artist on Facebook and had to share her work. If you're a mom, you have read these books over and over and over. I believe she's making one per day, in watercolor. If
Talk about mixed messages. Wear a mask. Don't wear a mask. Save the masks for medical professionals. Only wear a mask if you're feeling symptoms. Wear a mask if you have an underlying condition. Wear a mask if you work in a store. Don't wear
I love the power of the Facebook Moms Groups. I saw a post a couple of weeks ago about a local company making produce deliveries. The company, based in Yorktown, apparently supplied restaurants mostly; but when restaurants started to cut back on their weekly orders,
My husband decided to eliminate meat from his diet about 4 or 5 months ago. It's been a tricky situation with dinnertime, having to come up with an alternate meal for him. I looked into the meal kits but for a one-time dinner, they were
I'm inundated with requests to share events. I get emails and messages on Facebook and Instagram daily. I feel so bad when I finally open the email, only to find out the event has passed. In my "trying to do things new in 2020" I've
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,

I had to share this. First video has over 3 million views. Second one has 26K views. A friend shared this with me and I've shared it with a number of people who have enjoyed it, so decided to make it a random
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
I buy a LOT of clothes. As a result, I have a lot of unworn and gently used clothes that I give away. I have started using clothing rental services in the past few months. I've decided that I am going to try to "shop
