Last weekend the fan and I had the best staycation. We crossed the water and spent the weekend in Hoboken. It was just what we needed – truly! We stayed with Mary and her beautiful clan at the W Hoboken. The hotel is stunning, the rooms are gorgeous, and the facilities are extremely child friendly. Don’t get me started on the views. AMAZING. We had the best time exploring Hoboken with our Bugaboo strollers. I can’t believe it was the first time we had ever been. It actually reminded me a little of Brooklyn. Quaint and full of amazing shops and family friendly restaurants.

During our stay Mary and I had the amazing opportunity to try out some amazing threads from Anje. That coat? Everything! Basically we had the perfect weekend. Take me back, please!

The best part of being part of the Bugaboo Diesel campaign? Being able to adventure in my own backyard with my little loves and one of my favorite mamas ever – Mary Grace. Last week we headed out with the kids for some much needed mama/girl time and coffee. Mary captured my babes and I strolling around with our denim Buffalo..pretty much the sweetest stroller. Lillie is a certified princess in her ride and knocks out almost instantly in her bassinet (thank you Bugaboo!). Lucas loves his comfort board and it makes my life SO much easier when traveling around the city with both kids.

I can’t wait to share more snaps of our Bugaboo adventures..make sure to continue following along on Instagram. You can find tons of amazing family and stroller shots using the hashtag #BugabooDiesel.

When Bugaboo asked me if I would like to be a part of their Diesel Collection campaign I jumped at the chance. This iconic company has long been a favorite of mine and their collaborations are truly one of a kind and just so special. Their Diesel Collection in particular is strong, powerful, and beautiful..just perfect for this NYC mama. With a gorgeous muted color story, each stroller is not just extremely function but they are truly eye candy! Over the next few months I will be working on photographing and showcasing the entire collection (on the blog as well as Instagram). My dear Mary Grace will be joining me by pushing her gorgeous Olive in the Military Chameleon. We will be strolling all over Manhattan with our Bugaboos so if you see us with our babes make sure you say hi!

THE STROLLERS OF NEW YORK

This Fall I had the amazing opportunity to partner with Italian stroller company Inglesina in their ‘Strollers of New York’ film series. Inglesina selected 4 NYC mamas and their littles to share a day in their life. A film crew (who by the way were AMAZING) followed Lucas and I around our neighborhood as we headed to all of our favorite spots. It was surreal, magical, and also pretty damn cool feeling like we were being followed by the paparazzi – our 15 minutes of fame if you will. You can also check out our Q&A about motherhood in NYC and more info on our neighborhood. Thank you Inglesina for inviting Lucas and I to share in this incredible experience!

WEEKEND STROLLS

We had the perfect weekend, my boys and I. Saturday morning we took a walk around the neighborhood and wound up at T-Mobile where my guy pre-purchased the new iPhone for me (my birthday is in less than 2 weeks! hurrah!) and came back home for a quick nap. I then had a few hours to myself – Ivan took Lucas to his first Yankee game. I bragged to a few friends that I had a few hours of alone time to CLEAN. I mean. What is the world coming to 😉 Sunday we had a low key morning and decided to head out right before Lucas’s nap and walk over to our friends up in Spanish Harlem for wings and football. The weather was a dream and Lucas snoozed the entire time. We just received the Quad from Inglesina and we are officially spoiled. It is the perfect ride. The steering is magical (yes, a stroller can be magical) and it was such a treat pushing his new set of wheels as opposed to his usual umbrella stroller where I (Lucas) can feel every city bump. We were also invited to participate in Inglesina’s #strollersofnewyork series and I can’t wait to share more about that in October!              PLM tee from Little Boogaweezin | Button down from AF Mens (Old but similar here) | Boots from UO (similar here)                                                                    On Lucas: Moccasins c/o Freshly Picked 

7 A.M. ENFANT | WARM MUFFS + GIVEAWAY

In this house we are 7 A.M. ENFANT loyals. Our very first experience with 7 A.M. was with their 212 Evolution blanket. We never looked back. The quality and durability far surpasses any other children’s outwear brands we had tried in the past. The cherry on top? The designs and colors are just beautiful. Living in NYC where we are out and about constantly with the trains and walking being our primary modes of transport, having Lucas bundled up in something warm and aesthetically beautiful is important to me. Our 212 Evolution blanket just got us through our second winter and it is still in impeccable condition. I love that it can be used for our second child and will look like new. Our Warm Muffs are my new favorite. They come in an array of amazing colors but I’m partial to the neon pink 😉 It is such a hassle to remove my gloves anytime Lucas needs something while we are strolling and it’s freezing outside. These make for a warm, comfy ride with easy access to my tot while we are on the move. LOVE! Now for the really amazing news. I’m hosting an incredible giveaway over on Instagram. It’s a 5 day giveaway bonanza (!!) and it’s going to be gooood. There will be a winner chosen each night who will receive 7 A.M. goodies so make sure you’re following along. Also, stay tuned tomorrow when I will be posting a review on the Cygnet baby carrier cover featuring my handsome hubs.
