New York Single Mom Staycation Travelogue Christmas – Santa Arrives
Christmas Day Santa’s footprints. Santa is a lucky guy getting his chocolate milk in a fancy crystal champagne glass. My daughter’s choice. The anticipation of having to wait to open gifts.
NYC Single Mom Staycation Travelogue December 24, 2009 – Baking Cookies
December 24, 2009 – Decided to bake cookies for Santa’s arrival tonight. This is what the cookies were supposed to look like and… Well, it’s the thought that counts and that my daughter and I did these together as a family. For all the bakers, cake, cookie and cupcake decorators, you are my heroines and […]
Adoption Tale – Is She Really Adopted
Recently, one of my daughter’s classmates came up to me and asked “Is she really adopted?” “Yes,” I said and off she went. Of course, I am thinking to myself, Noisy brat. Her mother then commented that she thought it was amazing that my daughter is so comfortable with saying it to people. In some respects, […]
First Snow Storm of 2009 – Wordless Wednesday
How can you resist heading out into the first snow storm of the year? In New York City, if you aren’t out there early after a couple of hours, the snow is pretty icky from all the people trudging through the snow. Now I have to get out and buy a sled just in case […]

No Notes Today
Today marks the fifth day that my daughter has not brought home a note. No note you say, huh? Last week, her teacher decided that instead of her writing notes to the parents telling us that our child is misbehaving that the children start the practice of writing their own note detailing their daily transgressions […]
Therapy Thursday (5) – “Hurry Up” – Rewards and Consequences
“Let’s Go” “Focus”“Brush Your Teeth”“Eat Your Breakfast”“Ugh”“How many times do I have to tell you”“We’re going to be late“ Sound familiar. This scene plays itself out every morning since we started kindergarten. Compared to elementary school, Pre-school was a breeze because there were no consequences for being late. We arrived and I left, punto. Since […]
My Favorite Christmas Ornament – Go Browns (That’s Right the Cleveland Browns)
This is my favorite Christmas ornament. I wish I had a prettier one from my youth but my sister seems to have inherited them all. After my parents died, she lived in their house and pretty much took everything that was left. It sounds worse than it is, I moved New York and she was […]
