Welcome to Mercer + Green.
I am a born and bred New Yorker, mom of two little girls who loves
all things New York and is passionate about healthy living.
Portia recently started attending Book Nook, the sweetest early literacy program!
Stumped on ideas for a birthday or holiday gift for a kid in your life? No problem. Enter, the Gift Genie!
I have always wanted a special locket and finally found a truly magical one!
When you have little kids Halloween is a month long celebration. We have been building up to the big night by reading some spooky (and not so spooky) books at bedtime. Here are a few of Hermione and Portia's favorite Halloween reads!
Thoughts on my experiences with sexual harassment and why I want better for my girls.
I recently decided to wean Portia and the experience was very different than with Hermione.
As we say a final goodbye to summer and transition to fall I wanted to share a few of our summer highlites!
There is nothing I loved more than finding the perfect, wear forever version of a wardrobe essential.
Knowing for certain I won't be having another baby I decided to turn Portia's beautiful baby things into a very special heirloom.
In my efforts to make the time at home peaceful I have been working on getting Hermione to practice mindfulness
Last weekend we celebrated Hermione's Fourth Birthday with a Princess Bash for all of her girlfriends. I can't believe my little girl is 4
These days raising little girls can be hard. I try and make the choices of what businesses we support reflect our family values. Whenever possible I shop small and local and support business started women which is why I love Victoria Road.
Last weekend we celebrated Portia's First Birthday with a sweet Bunny Brunch at home.
Before we decided to have a second baby and all throughout my pregnancy I was terrified about how a sibling would effect Hermione. She always seemed like such an only child to me.
I used to be a huge statement jewelry person. I had a huge collection of costume pieces that I would wear all the time, not just on special occasions. While I loved these bold pieces at the time over the year's my taste has become a bit simpler
Packing for myself and the girls can be a bit overwhelming. Between clothes for all three of us, baby supplies for Portia, Hermione's favorite snacks etc. it can be a lot to think of and organize.
Hermione loves doing art projects. From coloring to play doh to making puppets she has a real creative spirit and is always making something. When we are traveling it is not always easy to decide which art supplies to bring with us. For airplane trips, restaurants and down time in the hotel room after a log day at the pool I like to have a few curated supplies for her to work with.
I have dry skin. Take a dry NYC winter, add a serving of exclusively breastfeeding and you have a recipe for parched skin. I drink a ton of water everyday, eat water rich foods, take internal oils and still my skin skews dry.
