What is a Squishmallow? And why are so many tweens suddenly invested in growing their collection? Let me unpack the latest trend and why I fully support Mazzy’s new obsession.

It had started snowing Sunday night and kept falling for the next 24 hours, blanketing the city in snow. There is nothing I love more than NYC covered in white.

I used to worry that once Mazzy started paying attention to my Instagram account, she would attach too much importance to “likes” or wonder why some photos got more “likes” than others.

I told the kids that school was canceled for the rest of the year. I honestly wasn’t expecting a huge reaction (we’ve assumed this all along), but Harlow got really upset.

Her name is Frankie. She is the cutest ever and we all don’t know what to do with ourselves except stare at her PRECIOUS FACE.

As per usual, when it comes to holidays, Harlow is ALL IN. I was going to skip Easter this year, since it’s not really our holiday, but Harlow had other plans.

Some kids learn math or law or engineering from their parents. My kids learn meme creation.

In the hallway of Mazzy’s school, student projects often hang outside the classroom. When Mazzy’s work is on the wall, I can’t help but compare hers to the other kids in the class.

We decided to switch it up this year and spend New Year’s Eve in Vermont, skiing, sipping hot chocolate and eating s’mores.

Four years ago, even though I didn’t know it at the time, an important family tradition was born. It’s not just the giving and the magic. It’s the holiday we host in our home.

Mazzy has been doubting Santa since last year, but has not fully given up on him yet. While we were waiting for him to come over, she said, “If he’s really Santa, he’ll know my birthday.”

Harlow said it was her third favorite day ever, after the day she was born and her first birthday. Mazzy said the experience was tied with our trip to Disney World. MIKE DANCED! I will remember t...

I didn’t know what Harlow meant what she told me she wanted to be “a panda, but fashion.” But come Friday night, I felt foolish for ever doubting her.

One thing I love about Mazzy is that she always uses Halloween as an excuse to dress up as a total badass.
