Welcome to Modern Xennial!
Welcome to Modern Xennial!
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: After 11 years of being known as Pellerini, I have decided to rebrand my parenting and lifestyle blog to better connect with my audience.
The new name, Modern Xennial, and branding campaign started rolling out today. The name Pellerini came from a mashup of my last name and “ini” representing tiny (as I’m petite).
Modern Xennial was created over dinner conversation…

My Absolute Favorite Wellington Area Restaurants
My Absolute Favorite Wellington Area Restaurants
I’ve been compiling this list of some of my favorite Wellington area restaurants and cannot wait to share it with you!
It’s hard to find a great place to eat. It doesn’t have to be big nor does it have to be fancy. The restaurant needs to have delicious food, clean (obviously), and have great service.

Must Have Cold and Flu Safeguards
Must Have Cold and Flu Safeguards
It’s that time of year again for sniffles, sore throats, coughs and all the fun stuff that comes with the cold and flu.
Of course the best way to prevent or lessen the severity of the flu is the vaccine, and of course good hygiene (i.e. hand washing and covering your mouth when coughing/sneezing) can help prevent the spread of both, but there are other ways as well in which to strengthen your…

Latest Fashion Trends For Teenage Guys
Latest Fashion Trends For Teenage Guys
I can only recently discuss the latest fashion trends for teenage guys.
Why? My boys could care less about what they wore…until middle school rolled around.
The only requirement to ensure a stress-free school morning was that their pants did not have zippers or buttons. Thank goodness for The Children’s Place. Aside from their affordable prices, I was able to find a plethora of elastic waist…

5 Top Tips for Working Moms to Save Time and Sanity
5 Top Tips for Working Moms to Save Time and Sanity
When I first started brainstorming tips for working moms to save time (and sanity), I drew a blank.
As an aside, I feel that moms that work from home, stay-at-home moms, and moms that work outside of their home ALL face the same challenges. The top challenge on the list, by far, is that there are not enough hours in the day to get done what needs to be done.

My CES 2020 recap is coming fresh off a four day trip to Las Vegas! It was filled with aisles and aisles of new technology products, many conversations with interesting people, and a lot of great food (stay tuned for an article about some of the hot spots to eat when in Sin City).
Top CES 2020 Innovations
A lot has changed since my CES 2019 recap. Since there were so many amazing innovations, I’ve narrowed it down a bit (it was very hard!).
Transportation
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Some of the most amazing innovations are in the automobile vertical. From even-more-advanced electric cars to the self-driving variety which we have been hearing about for the past 10 years.
I was very impressed with the Hyundai and Uber collaboration. Could you imagine being transported in a self-driving helicopter/drone to your final destination?
Pets
I love animals, so when I see technology put into play for the better of our furry family members, I am all for it! CES 2020 was very pet-friendly.
Imagine a treat dispenser that is also an HD pet camera, 180 degree lens, and voice commanded? This Petcube Bites 2 was part of the Amazon booth since it is Alexa-friendly. What isn’t these days?
What about an automatic feeder with similar capabilities? Arf Pet offers just that, along with portion control, voice recordings, and up to four scheduled feedings per day.
Cat lovers rejoice with the newest in litter boxes. I saw a few iterations, with this one by iKuddle catching my eye because of its design. This littler box not only cleans itself and helps to reduce odor, it packages the clumps in individual baggies. I so wish I had this when our cat Harley was alive.
For Kids (Or the Young At Heart)
One of my favorite toys growing up were LEGOs. I would put the sets together like a puzzle, following the step-by-step directions. Once I’d had enough of playing with the set, I would take it apart and build something new, straight out of my imagination.
http://pellerini.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/20200109_132238.mp4
Today’s LEGOs are mirror images of the toys I loved from the past, but technology has stepped in. There are devices that can bring your creations to life AND have them move to music!
Board games, such as this one above, work in tandem with Alexa to make the gaming experience even more exciting!
My boys would be on me like white on rice to get their hands on one of these dual screen smartphones. I saw a few different versions, the most popular being LG and Samsung.
The only update we would recommend is to be able to open, for example, two Excel spreadsheets at the same time. Currently, the software only allows you to open one file from each app. (Of course, my kids could care less…they just want to be able to play Fortnite on it!)
Televisions
What would my CES 2020 recap be without a snapshot of the future of televisions?
LG television furniture hybrid
This Samsung TV has been super hot in Europe, and recently introduced in the United States.
TVs have come a long way. Each year I visit CES, there is a bigger and better rendition of the television. This year I was pleasantly surprised to see how brands such as LG and Samsung are designing televisions to become more like art and furniture!
Aside from all of the walking and talking, I did get in some quality tourist time. Stay tuned to Pellerini for a recap of some of the best places to dine when on and off the Las Vegas Strip!

Overcoming overwhelm as a new mom was hard, I won’t lie. With help from family and friends, and trial and error, I was able to recalibrate and relax a bit.
