Our Jr. Celtics Gameday Clinic Experience
at
2:41:00 PM
Disclosure: I received complimentary Jr. Celtics admission to facilitate this review; photo releases were signed by participants pictured and all opinions expressed are my own.
Nia knows this is a part of her family history, and while we've gently tried to suggest basketball to her she's always been quite reluctant.
That changed when she was invited to the Jr. Celtics Gameday Clinic.

Love and basketball. That's always been an underlying theme of my family - Mr. Lovebird and I met in college, and while he doesn't believe I played basketball in middle school and high school, he played all the way through to college and then professionally abroad.

Video Recap: Renewed and Refreshed at W.E.L.L. Summit 2017
at
2:16:00 PM
Disclosure: I received a complimentary ticket to W.E.L.L. Summit; all opinions expressed are my own.
Two weeks ago I joined my sisters in NYC for the 3rd annual W.E.L.L. Summit. Last year's was quite emotional for me, and this year I was hurtling towards the Summit in a flurry of activity knowing that returning each year helps to center me and prepare me for the upcoming New Year.

Talking to Your Kids About God & Science
at
12:53:00 PM
Disclosure: I received a copy of Indescribable to facilitate this review; all opinions expressed are my own.
I have a secret that causes Mr. Lovebird to poke fun at me: I am a space travel nerd. It used to be one of my main interests when I was in elementary school up until I saw the movie Space Camp which scared me SO bad that I decided that I'd rather be an archaeologist. I still have a hankering for Star Trek and all things outer space related! Once I had kids I wondered if their interests would mirror mine, and it's been a cautious path allowing them to find their own way.
Then it happened.
Then it happened.

Beauty in Green: My Customized eShakti Dress
at
2:08:00 PM
Disclosure: I received a dress from eShakti to facilitate this review; all opinions expressed are my own.
Have you ever looked at your child's wardrobe and been inspired? I recently was. Since taking Nia shopping for fall clothing a couple months ago I noticed a green shirt of hers has quickly become her favorite, and it made me realize I don't own green clothing. Green happens to also be Mr. Lovebird's favorite color, but it had never dawned on me to wear it so when eShakti invited me to try a customized dress I decided to hone in on green.
They really have some stunning options...

In 17 short days my family will come together for our first Thanksgiving in our new home and in the wake of recent news while we always acknowledge the importance of family, this year's gathering feels especially sacred.

Making Healthy Meals with Farmers to You
at
10:45:00 AM
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Farmers to You; all opinions expressed are my own.
Despite having lived in cities with amazing farmers markets from the world-famous Union Square Greenmarket to Portsmouth, New Hampshire's community-building farmer's market at City Hall I never quite made them a regular part of my routine with my children. Part of the reason is I know I would lose self control and just get cookies my kids would be begging for things, but I also feel a sense of guilt for not exposing them to it regularly.

Put the Phone Down, Mom! Managing Devices at Dinnertime with Comcast XFINITY xFi
at
1:28:00 PM
Disclosure: All opinions expressed are my own. I have worked in the past with Comcast on a sponsorship basis.
Now that our school situation is settled and it's a new month, it feels like we're in a bit of reset in our home. Grayson and Nia are no longer at the same school (hopefully just for this year!), and Grayson is also transitioning to his own room this week. Now more than ever the key times that we *are* able to connect are most important and that includes dinnertime. While the kids are screen-free during the school week, I admit I sometimes sneak to check my notifications while we're eating. Thankfully, Comcast has got my back when it comes to reigning in device access.
