CrossFit Reaction is making me snatched again

Tweet I’ve become one of those 30-something women who looks back at old photos longingly, and ponders whether or not she can ever look that good, or feel that confident, again. For instance, here’s a photo of me at age 20, as a cheerleader for Duke University. My body was lean and defined. I was […]

Miami’s Greatest Hits

July 4, 2012
Share

Tweet Adios, Miami. With an ant infestation, terrible customer service, dreary weather, and oh yeah, a cannibalism attack a few blocks away, Miami may very well have been a total bust if it weren’t for our good friends A.J. and Molly showing us around and helping us out with Max. They’ve lived on Miami Beach […]

An idyllic farmer’s market in Greenville, SC

Tweet Just for the record, we consider ourselves New Yorkers. Having spent most of our post-grad lives reveling in the concrete and cruising the subways, nose to the grindstone, Mike and I feel tough. We’ve battled others to make ends meet, to rise in our careers, and make ourselves a home. We’ve lived hard. We’re […]

The sky is falling!

Tweet Remember in our previous Insta-home: Greenville post, we rejoiced at the safe, plush apartment we snagged — in dire contrast to our non-kid-friendly Miami predicament? In fact, I think Mike used the term “non-lethal” to describe our home here in South Carolina. Well, we take that back. We had a Phantom of the Opera […]

Tweet Father’s Day was celebrated yesterday with two of the coolest dads on the planet – Mr. Mike Hollick and Mr. Nick Cordileone! And we celebrated in the best way the Hollicks know how: we ate until we couldn’t breathe. We hit Soby’s special buffet brunch in downtown Greenville for the occasion, and it was […]

The Insta-home Challenge: Greenville, SC

June 17, 2012
Share

Tweet One of the biggest lessons that I’ve learned recently on the road is to keep your expectations in check. For instance, I had never been to Miami before but heard how fun and glamorous it was, and I had never even heard of Greenville. So which do you think I was psyched to visit […]

Orlando’s Greatest Hits

June 15, 2012

Tweet Since we arrived in Greenville, SC this week, I am officially two cities behind in posting our Top Ten for Orlando. The Type-A part of me is embarassed! And the other part of me is just relieved I didn’t black out for the entire time we were there. Orlando was an extreme situation in […]

Fish in the water

June 9, 2012

Tweet Our son is a fish. We always knew he was intrepid in the water, which is why we enrolled him in swim classes at 13-months-old. But Max actually enjoys his time underwater, and we would have never known the extent if our friend Nick Cordileone hadn’t recorded him with his iPhone underwater. Here, he’s […]

The Insta-home Challenge: Miami

May 22, 2012

Tweet So our first week in Miami was a big-time bummer, although talking to some other cast members, we didn’t get the worst case scenario for housing by any stretch. But with our ant problem, we couldn’t fully unpack our kitchen or bathroom, and I couldn’t feel settled. And I was exhausted; Mike has been […]

Finally, the beach

May 21, 2012

Tweet Things are looking up here in Miami after almost a week of settling pains and overcast skies. Yesterday, the sun played peek-a-boo, so Lisa Swift, Max and I headed to the beach to actually put our feet in the wet sand. It was muggy and glorious. Here’s Max on South Pointe Beach, soaking up […]
