Any go-to gifts you give to mamas that always land well?

I love gifting Ghia apéritifs. I’m drawn to gifts that remind my circle of mom friends they exist outside of motherhood. They deserve a minute that belongs to no one but them. So I always gift Ghia as a sweet little treat and a soft way to unwind.


What’s one thing you never leave the house without?

My Penco notepad! I recently saw a video where Patti Smith said that about 80% of her work starts on paper, and that actually resonated with me. I’ve always processed things better when I write them down, so I never leave the house without my notepad.


Any TT faves you’d recommend to a friend?

The Meri Meri x Tubby Todd Holiday Collection! I’m such a fan of both brands, and this collab is pure perfection. It feels so festive and special for the holidays.

What's your in winter survival kit for getting two kids around the city?

The Winter Bundle, every time! New York winters can be brutal on my kids’ skin, and I find myself moisturizing them around the clock. The Tubby Todd Winter Bundle has everything we need to get through the season. It’s very moisturizing without being greasy and actually keeps their skin soft, preventing those little rashes from the cold. I use it on my skin too, and it’s so good.


When you have 10 minutes to yourself, what are you reaching for?

Lately, I’ve been really enjoying Exit Lane by Erika Veurink from 831 Stories. When I’m not reading, I’m usually catching up on the new season of The Mother podcast by Katie Hintz-Zambrano.
