It’s hard finding the perfect shows for my kids to watch. With toddlers, it’s not just about being entertained but educated too. Take “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” for example. I grew up watching that show, and it inspired me in many ways and taught me solid values I still carry with me. A show that my daughter Collette loves to watch…
I went on a family vacation to Maui, Hawaii, last week with my husband and two children. Unlike past trips we took before we had kids, I couldn’t pack as much because I had to devote some luggage space to stuff the kids needed. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t still bring a few must-haves with me. Here are my…
Last week, I went to Maui for a couple of days with my kids and husband. It’s been a crazy year, and I needed a few days to get away with the kids, spend time with them and just clear my mind as well. But this was our first family vacation and, to be honest, I expected it to be…

With a 2-year-old and a 5-month-old, it’s been impossible for me to find time to go to the gym. I want to lose my pregnancy weight, but there’s no time to leave the house. Even though I never have an hour at a time to work out, it’s important to find moments in the day for exercise. So I exercise…
Social media anxiety has been affecting me lately. And I know I’m not alone, because talking to others has shown me that a lot of people are going through the same thing. My work relies on social media. And for a long time, I had fun with it. Ten years ago, I created the entertainment brand Hollyscoop, and I used…
A family member recently asked me how I built my brand. As I was explaining to him I realized that there was so much I wanted to explain. I thought it would be easier to write it out and share with you all. Mission Statement: Number one thing to know about building a brand is knowing what your brand is….
I am the type of person that usually takes two suitcases for a weekend getaway. Recently I decided that I was not going to drag excess clothes, shoes, and makeup with me because it gets tiring carrying all that “excess baggage”, especially when I am traveling with two kids.
