Welcome to The Mint Chip Mama! A parenting & lifestyle blog where we share great ideas & places to visit in the New York area for moms, dads, & families. We also love to share all kinds of fun things we do at home, new products that rock our world, & giveaways – because everyone likes to win stuff.
When we’re not parenting, we love tacos, pizza, binge watching shows, yoga, the beach, travelling, gardening, hikes, Broadway shows, lemon ricotta pancakes, Clueless, 90210, dressing up for 80s/90s dance parties, trivia, & vodka. We love our family very much but also really enjoy being left alone. We feel strongly that Trader Joe’s is the best store on Earth & realize that sometimes it’s OK to yell at your kids because they can be really, really annoying.
Please know, we also have a strong loyalty to dark chocolate & do not believe in white chocolate (no offense). Obviously, our favorite ice cream flavor is mint chip.
