No kidding! These mamas did a little Freaky Friday twist last Monday, as they left their serious sides at the door of Party Favors. As we were escorted downstairs by the lovely Mary Lynn and John Pergantis, we all reverted to our kids selves. There was chocolate and cake alongside ginormous bowls of sugary frosting goodness in a glorious rainbow of colors. Willy Wonka gone wild.

That’s right. Heads up to all. The fittest moms are packin’ snacks. The healthy kind. For THEMSELVES.

They smile, they play happily. Moms love to give snacks. And we try to make them healthy. Which is great. Peanut butter on apples, string cheese and whole …

As a fitness professional, we see January as our biggest month. It’s THE month. The one where everyone vows to get …

Wow, what a way to finish off our 2009 Moms Going Out series. This past Tuesday, millions of moms(ok, slight exaggeration, but the energy FELT like that many people) descended on Magic Beans as we celebrated the holidays with a private shopping and wrapping party. While we shopped, we replenished our energy with a lavish spread by the new and fabulous Regal Beagle, right next to Magic Beans.
