JCC Rockland “Smart Start” Program

Posted on March 8, 2017 by Ashley Carmichael Posted in Health and Wellness, Reviews, Services .

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post

Since having baby H back in August, I have been eager to return to my pre-pregnancy active self. When our friends at the JCC Rockland offered us to try their “Smart Start” program I was super excited!

The “Smart Start” program is offered to all new members free of charge – it includes a complimentary fitness consultation with a fitness manager, 2 one-hour sessions with a personal trainer, and a consultation with their nutritionist.

My Smart Start began with a consultation over the phone with Jacob – one of the fitness managers. He asked basic health questions – height, weight, ultimate fitness goals, what exercise I most enjoy, best time for me to work out, etc. From this information he would match me with a trainer who he thought could help me reach my goals and keep me motivated. My perfect match – Chaya.

I was both excited and nervous for my first session with Chaya. We began our first session with a brief conversation to help her get to know my strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, health considerations, and personal goals. From there we did a simple ‘fit test’ to help assess my fitness level, which led into an introductory stretch and work out. I expressed I tend to work out mainly with free weights and body weight, not on machines, so we went into the Cross fit room to get started. The work out included work with a kettle bell, medicine ball, battle ropes, and then a circuit on a rowing machine (Which I am now obsessed with and need to start taking rowing classes) and the dreaded burpee.

A week later I came back for round two. Second session we hit the ground running. Remembering how much I loved the Row circuit from the first session – she began with warming up in the rowing room, and then we headed into the TRX studio for a more intense cardio work out. TRX jump squats, battle rope, kettle bell, and a jump rope circuit got my blood pumping. I had a bit of a respiratory cold I was battling, and she could see I was struggling a bit, so she slowed the pace and adapted the intensity to fit my needs, without skipping a beat.

Chaya was amazing. I instantly felt comfortable with her. She explained what each exercise was for and how to modify if needed. Chaya knew just how to motivate me when I was feeling nervous to push a little harder and when it was time to take it down a notch. I could tell she took the time to prepare and review notes from session to session. That this wasn’t just a generic throw together routine she uses with everyone.

I finished each session with Chaya feeling like I got my butt kicked – but in a good way! It also helped me determine (realistically) my current fitness level. (‘Cause in my head I am still fighting weight and think I can Kickbox 5 days a week like I was pre-pregnancy)

Next was my consult with the Nutritionist. First step was a quick online questionnaire asking about my eating, sleep, and exercise habits. From there we had a brief conversation via email (you can also meet in person or speak over the phone). Since I am still nursing baby H, I am limited on changes I can make right now, but she gave me advice on the best foods to eat and some to avoid. I plan to reach out again after I wean him.

I also tried out a group Zumba class – way way way out of my comfort zone – and it was so fun! All age groups mixed together just having fun and dancing away the pounds. Read about our experience here!

This Smart Start program is a great way to help you start off on the right track and feel comfortable and confident when beginning your new fitness adventure. I was shocked when I was told just how reasonable it is for a membership.

The JCC has so much to offer! It really has EVERYTHING you need at a gym; cardio machines, weight machines, studio for free weights, cross fit studio, womens only studio, trx studio, spin studio, rowing studio, pilates studio, aqua fitness, racquetball court, basketball court, yoga (I am sure I am forgetting something), and over 100 group classes offered each week! They also have babysitting available in an adorable playroom right across from the fitness center (send Lauren an email to find out more about pricing and a special deal on babysitting for RNYM readers!)

I highly suggest taking full advantage of their 7 day free pass
to see what it is all about.

JCC is also currently running a special 90 Day Jump Start for an unbeatable rate!

THE PUMP AND DUMP SHOW – Moms Night Out GIVEAWAY!

Posted on March 7, 2017 by Ashley Carmichael Posted in Uncategorized .

THE PUMP AND DUMP SHOW AMERICA’S ORIGINAL MOMS’ NIGHT OUT BRING THEIR 2017 WINTER/SPRING BAND OF MOTHERS TOUR TO

LEVITY LIVE COMEDY CLUB THURSDAY, MARCH 16^th

VALIDATING “BAD MOMS” EVERYWHERE BY GATHERING EVERY KIND OF
MOM IN ONE ROOM FOR ONE HELLUVA NIGHT!

Thursday, March 16^th Levity Live Comedy Club in West Nyack, NY is proud to present The Pump and Dump “Band of Mothers” national tour. After three sold-out national tours, The Pump and Dump Show is back by popular demand with their notorious event filled with irreverent humor, original music, games, prizes, and a cathartic night away from the kids.

The Pump and Dump Show is a one-of-a-kind, interactive, live production designed as the ultimate respite for parents everywhere. Since its conception (pardon the pun) in Denver, Colorado in 2012, this event has become wildly popular and the perfect reason for moms to gather their #BREEDER friends, celebrate a mom-to-be or treat an exhausted girlfriend to her first night out postpartum. Original music includes songs like “Parental Lovin’,” “If Daddies Made Milk,” and “Eat Your F—ing Food.” Audience members (affectionately referred to as BREEDERS) play games like “Cervix Says” and “The Most F-ed Up Thing My Kid Has Done” to win bottles of wine and other fantastic prizes from local and national sponsors. The Pump and Dump Show’s 2017 Band of Mothers Tour continues its mission to spread mom karma, give high fives and uplift and encourage moms coast to coast.

The Pump and Dump Show is produced, written and hosted by lifelong friends and comedians Shayna Ferm and Tracey Tee who created the show in the throws of new-parenthood, feeling like moms just needed a night out and a cocktail. Four years later, the duo is embarking on their 4th national tour and have a Pump and Dump TV show in development with Triage Entertainment. Their music videos, memes and online commentary have gained national and international popularity. Ferm and Tee have been featured in Parents Magazine, on Scary Mommy, Daily Mail, Huffpost Parents, Popsugar Moms, TheBump.com, Baby Rabies and The Jenny McCarthy Show.

Newborn Session with IC You Photography

Posted on March 1, 2017 by Ashley Carmichael Posted in Photography, Reviews, Uncategorized .

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post

I used IC You photography for a Daddy and Me mini session about 2 years ago and I was thrilled with the results! Through out my pregnancy, I kept seeing Isabella post the most adorable shots from her newborn sessions and knew I just had to work with her again when Baby H arrived.

Isabella encouraged me to come up with ideas/vision of what I wanted and send her pictures. Since we did know the sex of Baby H, it was hard to narrow down my ideas. I thought she was starting to regret telling me this after a week or so of my constant “Oh my gosh! How cute is this?” emails, but she wasn’t! She was just excited as I was, shooting ideas back to me as well.

When H was born rounding our little family out with 3 boys, I knew there was only one way to capture his newborn stage. Big Brothers W and S can name every construction vehicle, emergency vehicle, car and truck on the road (and now so can I), so I thought using one of their oversized trucks would be perfect!

We had to reschedule a few times due to a few bumps in the road in the beginning with Baby H and Isabella was more than accommodating. We arrived the day of our session and Isabella was so excited! She has tons of props and outfits to use if you want. She warmed up the room so H was comfy and sleepy. (Well, we tried to make him sleepy)

The day of the session H was far from compliant. He was cranky, over tired and didn’t want cooperate. My older boys were still adjusting to the new baby so they were acting out for extra attention. Isabella quickly got pictures of the brothers all together and sent the big boys home with Dad. H an I continued the shoot for another hour or so.

I was nervous with how the kids were behaving if she was even able to capture anything worth framing. She kept reassuring me that she had great shots, and even sent me a few sneak peeks. H being my last (yes, yes I mean it this time!) baby, I was obsessed with making sure to get good newborn and family pictures. So before I even received the images, I booked a fall mini-session to try again!

… I should’ve trusted Isabella! Not only are the pictures from the newborn session AMAZING, so are the pictures from the mini-session!

Isabella is a skilled artist and knows what she is doing. Of course, things don’t always go according to plan; kids don’t behave, the weather wasn’t perfect, whatever it is but please, trust the process.

Trust your photographer, she is looking through the lens and sees things differently. She doesn’t see you kid being crazy (well maybe a little) but she also sees that one smile and can capture it, that one perfect snuggle between baby and big brother.

IC You photography is starting to book Spring Mini Sessions!
Schedule now before they are all booked up!

YCA Birthday Party: Make your own pizza and eat it, too!

Posted on January 30, 2017 by Ashley Carmichael Posted in Party, Uncategorized, We're Having a Party .

This is a sponsored post. All opinions expressed are my own.
-Ashley

Every year as the kids birthdays roll around we typically choose to skip having a birthday party and use the time and money to take a mini family get away. Giving us an excuse to unplug and have some family time. We have done Great Wolf lodge, Sesame Place, Legoland, and Diggerland. This year, however, my big guy asked to have a birthday party.

S has never had a real birthday party, except for his 1st birthday. Since his birthday falls between Christmas and New Years we knew we would have to have the party at a venue, since our house could not accommodate an inside party. I researched your typical bounce house, trampoline type parties and it didn’t quite fit what we wanted. He currently isn’t enrolled in any dance/martial arts etc. where he would want a party so we were stumped.

It wasn’t until we were having our usual “make your own pizza” dinner one Friday night that I remember hearing about Young Chefs Academy. S loves helping in the kitchen – he loves to help wash produce, mix ingredients, roll out dough etc. So I sent them an email and Chef Sebastian was very quick with a response. The price was in our budget, and they had availability on the day we wanted. Perfect! A Make your Own Pizza party!

S super excited to get started!

I have always hosted parties at my house, so having it at a venue was new for me. So, of course, I had 100 questions, and Chef Sebastian was patient and quick to answer each of those emails, as well.

As the kids come in to the party they are each given an apron and are escorted into the kitchen to wash their hands and find a seat. One of the kitchen walls is a one-way mirror so the parents can watch from the lobby area. This was perfect for our party; the adults hung out in the lobby area talking, but were still able to check on the kids without disturbing the flow.

Mirror/window to see the kids.

Chef Tina was wonderful with the kids! We had an age range of 2 ½ – 10 years and she kept them engaged. (Parents of the younger kids were asked to stay in the room to help their child) They began with learning the ingredients needed to make dough and how to measure correctly, each taking a turn at it. (Of course the dough needs time to rise, so they were prepared and had one that had already had time to rest and rise.) Then the messy, fun part came! Each child was given a small amount of dough and taught how to roll and kneed it into a small circle, then spread the sauce, and add cheese and pepperoni if they wanted.

While the pizzas cooked Chef Tina and her crew kept the kids entertained with charades and trivia questions about manners, and food from around the world. We also took this time to sing Happy Birthday and enjoy cupcakes.

The kids loved eating their pizzas that they made themselves. Even some of the picky eaters, whose parents didn’t think they would eat it, gobbled it right down!

I am so glad we hosted the party at Young Chefs Academy. It was less stressful than hosting at my house. As they say “You provide the chef, we provide the rest!” I was responsible to bring the cupcakes, they provided the invitations, the paper goods, drinks and of course the pizza and entertainment. Decorations aren’t needed – although our party was a dinosaur theme so we had dinosaur cups for the kids and balloons. Chef Tina and Chef Sebastian even had a special gift for the birthday boy!

In the end, this party was a great success! Not only did S get the birthday party he wanted, but we also had a fun time with friends (both kids and adults) making memories and enjoying the experience.

YCA has several affordable party options, with upgrades and add ons available!

Head on over to newcityny.youngchefsacademy.com or
send an email to Chef Sebastian newcityny@youngchefsacademy.com

YCA also offers weekly classes, stay tuned for our full review!
