Little Richie
On May 26, 2016 my husband and I welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Richard Peter, aka #LittleRichieM. Richie weighed 2lbs 2oz, was 14 weeks early, and his birth literally saved my life. At 26 weeks pregnant, I developed HELLP Syndrome, an extremely rare, potentially fatal pregnancy complication that can only be cured by delivery. Our family spent 99 days in the NICU, where, together, we beat the odds. During our journey I was inspired to create The Everyday Mother, a beautifully simple baby tracking journal that has since grown as much as my little Richie. You can follow our little family on instagram @sincerelymangiolino.

Our Wedding
My husband and I had our wedding reception at Jones Beach Theater in May of 2011. Serendipitously, at the very place where we first met and fell in love as highschoolers in 2003. We had the stage for photos, and guests danced the night away under the stars.

How we met
My husband and I met when we were 16 while working the concession stands at Jones Beach Theater, and have been together ever since. We are music lovers with a particular fondness for Dave Matthews Band. Back in our young and adventurous days, and before we had our son, we were known for traveling near and far to see DMB. Guess how many time's we've seen them perform? Hint: somewhere between 25-35 (!!). Ahh, those were the days!

Favorite Things
My life is a balance of elegant practicality. I collect fine antique jewelry (my favorite piece being my 100+ year old engagement ring), but tend to keep my best gems locked away and instead sport classic gold ball earrings with jeans and a tee. I love dining at fine restaurants in New York City, but, when given the choice, will pick pizza at home with my family all day, everyday.

Coaching
In addition to holding a Master's Degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, I have a handful (or two) of professional certifications, including certifications in nearly all personality assessments (my favorite is the Hogan), as well as a fair number of leadership coaching certifications. While I no longer work in the corporate world, I do offer coaching services to small business leaders. If you're interested in one of my coaching packages, drop me a line.

Food Fight
I'm terrified of bugs, need to be medicated when flying, and absolutely hate having sand on my feet; but I desperately want to live life to the fullest, enjoy every moment, and fully support having food fights in my kitchen.
