Just your average millennial mom from New Jersey navigating life one “Are you f***ing kidding me?” at a time. Happily married for over twelve years (yes, he drives me crazy daily), raising four girls, two dogs, and one live-in mother — we’re basically a modern-day Full House with a twist of King of Queens with a lot less hugging. So, whether you’re grabbing a coffee or a marg at 10 a.m. (no judgment), let’s chat, laugh, and keep it all the way “reel.” Let’s support each other the way we did in a club bathroom at 1 a.m. singing Sweet Caroline reapplying our MAC lipgloss.

    Winter Blues, Valentines Views & Big January Energy

    From winter blues and holiday hangovers to big wins we need to celebrate — like Speak Reel making it into a magazine! I am unpacking it all. And because it’s February… let’s settle it: is Valentine’s Day cheesy, overrated, or low-key our love language? Also, check out Sweet Sips Soda LLc, my newest business venture with Meaghan- it’s family fun on a whole new level. We are mixing up dirty sodas, alanis and making your next event that much sweeter!

  2. Groundhog Days & Christmas Nights

    Groundhog Days & Christmas Nights

    I will be talking about the life we were told to expect—school, marriage, kids, success—and what happens when at 38 you realize it’s time to pivot. When “living your best life” still feels like Groundhog Day, this one hits different. Add in the magical mayhem of Christmas—Grinch Day, stomach bugs, Polar Express, projects, traditions, and trying to soak it all in without losing it. Plus an NGL moment: what’s the best Christmas gift you’ve ever received? And for the first time ever John and his bestie Chris join the kitchen chat together to talk all things Christmas.

    A Case of the Shoppies

    I am catching a full-blown Case of the Shoppies: Black Friday nostalgia, and the Christmas gifts that raised us— what were the ones that made absolutely no sense, yet you begged for anyway? Grab an iced coffee or a marg and let’s get reel!

    Halloween? Done. Mariah Carey? Defrosting. Swartzmas? Activated! It’s that time of year where life goes from “boo” to “bananas” in 0.2 seconds — between events, holidays, and everything in between. We’re breaking it all down with laughs, gift guides, and the truth about mom-life in the most magical (and mildly chaotic) season of the year.

    REEL Life Events - 11 years in 45 minutes #HarperStrong

    My husband saves lives at work… but the real hero is our daughter Harper, a Heart Warrior. ❤️ Life doesn’t hit pause just because things get heavy — and this week we’re diving into both the heroic and the heart-wrenching. From my husband’s real-life act of bravery at work to my most vulnerable share yet: the journey of my daughter Harper, a true Heart Warrior. In 45 minutes, I take you through a glimpse of 11 years of surgeries, strength, tears, and triumphs. It wasn’t easy to record (two days and a lot of tissues later), but it’s a story that needs to be told — because CHD (Congenital Heart Defects) affects 1 in 100 babies and deserves awareness, funding, and advocacy. This one is raw, real, and straight from my heart. Tune in for courage, tears, and a reminder that even when life knocks us down, we just keep moving. #HarperStrong ❤️💪🏻

    The Man Behind My Eye Rolls: Welcome Husband

    Almost two decades together, you’d think we’d have each other figured out—but do we really? In this episode, we’re putting our relationship to the test: from the ridiculous practical jokes (yes, confetti bombs and water fights count as love languages), to the little things that give us the ick, we’re spilling it all. Expect playful banter, inside jokes, and the kind of laughter that only comes from surviving 20 years of together. HELP-U-732 LLC Handyman Services: Serving all your needs in New Jersey 😉
