Alexa: I am from Philadelphia. I have lived in Greenwich for almost 7 years and I have 3 little boys – Miller is 8, Dane is almost 6, and Brooks is 4.
I usually hit up Crew Cuts for my boys and also like Bruce Park Sports for the Under Armour clothes. Shoes come mainly from Zappos. Most of their furniture is from Room & Board.
My favorite Greenwich events include the Greening of Our Children & The Boys and Girls Club event. Being a mom I think these are both great causes to support and they are fun.
My favorite restaurants are Meli Melo, LPQ, and Sweet Peas in Old Greenwich for lunch & Terra and The National for dinner. I will also travel for good food and regularly go to the city for dinner or Westport for Kawa Ni or The Whelk. Also who doesn’t love The Inn at Pound Ridge?
Favorite healthy kid food – homemade kale chips — literally wash and dry and pull kale into bite sized pieces — lightly coat with olive oil and salt — bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes — voila : chips we all love and can feel good about eating.
Hobbies — I love to walk with my girlfriends and chat it up and now I have a new puppy so I am loving walking with her. I also do yoga and a little bit of Soul Cycle. I also love to read and consume anything on TV that is worth watching from Bravo to Fargo to Making of a Murderer to True Detective etc
I am a nutritionist and my friend Hala and I started a local nutrition business — AaHa Restart Cleanse (www.aaharestart.com) — check out our website if you want to refocus on cooking healthy foods that taste awesome too. Its been a really fun and fulfilling project.
