While I may spend a fair amount of time in NYC, most of it is centered around Broadway plays, shopping on 5th Avenue, seeing a special exhibit at a museum, or attending lectures at the 92 Street Y. I rarely spend more than a day in the city. But that is starting to change after my recent 2 days in Tribeca. We have lived in…

If you’re a seasoned traveler, you may be feeling like it’s the “same old same old” when it comes to your vacations. After all, there really are only so many cathedrals and European capital cities you can see before you wonder what else is out there. If this describes you, you’re not alone and it may be time to think of cool ways to learn…

Washington, DC happens to be one of my favorite cities in the world. I love that there is something new to explore in town every time I visit, like cherry blossoms. With many people probably visiting to see the trees in full bloom, I though I’d share an idea I had on a recent trip. Since I spent most of my time exploring art galleries,…

Compiling a list of Fabulous Finds is not always an easy thing for me to do. I don’t want to write about just any old products. The list needs to be about items that I really love and yes, use. It’s that much better when I know the products are made with stewardship for this planet in mind and forethought to my health. Here are…

When you travel a lot, you tend to read a lot. You also develop certain favorites that you could easily read again. While I consume all types of books and love to educate myself about current events and history, it’s a must that they not all be serious. I sometimes, well often, just want the silly and a good laugh! So, here are a few…

The TriWives would love to share with you a story of how one of our families became hooked not only on triathlons, but on finding a way to give back and actually have fun in the process. We believe that volunteering at races, whether as a family or as a solo supporter, is a great way to meet people, get involved, and show your appreciation to the…

Washington, DC is a city with endless things to do and sites to see. You have to visit multiple times to even come close to doing it all and to do it well. If you’re a first time visitor, of course you’ll want to hit all of the monuments and Smithsonian, walking around just to take it all in. We’ve been multiple times and still…

We are so fortunate to live in the New York City area. The only problem is when you have to go down 5 days a week for work, like my husband did, the last thing you want to do is go back down on the weekend. Hence, the spouse doesn’t spend as much time in NYC as they’d like. But all that changed when he retired…

During a trip to New Zealand this year, I was fascinated with the cool products they have that I had never heard of. Even better, they actually worked great and in several cases, tasted great, too! So, of course, I had to bring home as many as I could and then try to find them here. Because I certainly didn’t want to have to live…

There are some products I keep gravitating to. Maybe because they are both affordable AND work. I am so tired of being suckered into spending big bucks for products that end up being nothing special, but I feel sick throwing out. In the case of face products, rather than discarding, I end up using on my hands! What a waste of good money… Here are…

Yes, we know we are all about supporting a triathlete emotionally and at races. Many we are happy to do… We support them by NOT telling them this is a crazy sport and the amount of time it takes is nuts. We support them by just saying “Okay” every time they read something and want to buy something new. We support them by helping with…

If you are headed to Boulder Colorado and looking for a luxury hotel, there really aren’t a lot of options especially if you want to stay downtown. The two choices are Hotel Boulderado and St. Julien Hotel and Spa. We chose the St. Julien Hotel and Spa for a recent stay based on friend’s recommendation and overall, we were quite pleased. Hotel Boulderado is victorian-inspired…
