This weekend, we were prevented from walking on the sidewalk because it was blocked off by the easily recognizable yellow police tape indicating that a crime has happened. Given that I was with my daughter, I did not stop to ask what happened but only connected it was foul play. How is that? As far […]
First Trip to the Plaza Hotel
This weekend, we had our photos taken courtesy of Shutterfly.com and hotmomsclub.com. We had to meet at the Plaza. Now I have been to the Plaza many times even having drinks at the Oak Bar (pre-renovation) but my daughter has never been. It was quite a treat for her since Eloise is a favorite character […]
Setting Boundaries for Kids Using the iPad
First, there was the iPhone/iPod touch that you saw kids in New York City playing with when going to restaurants now it’s the iPad. In this morning’s New York Post (yes, I read the Post,) there is an article about how the iPad is the hottest new babysitter. Does this surprise me, No. My daughter […]
Wintuk Comes to Kids Fest 2010 at Madison Square Park

After swim class, we headed to Madison Square Park for their annual kids fest, jam packed with activities like pumpkin patch, clowns singers and our favorites, performers from Cirque du Soleil’s hit family show, Wintuk.

Joining the Private Plane Club
I don’t know about you but one of my dreams is to fly on a private plane. I have come close a couple of times but alas fell through at the last minute. A few years ago, companies saw a gap in the luxury plane market, people who could not afford to buy a G5 […]
Wordless Wednesday – Happy half birthday
When I was a kid, we did not celebrate half birthdays but apparently we do now. This week was my daughter’s half birthday. Good grief, half way to eight years old, it’s hard to believe. Notice the cake, oh, I mean birthday flower cake courtesy of 1800flowers.com. This was pretty impressive cake in that it […]
Found it – Moms Get Real Back to School Jitters Segment with Ju Ju Chang
Woohoo! I mentioned in an earlier post that I could not find my Moms Get Real segment hosted by Good Morning America’s Ju Ju Chang on the ABC site. Thanks to my friend E, who googled it (there’s a thought for you), I have the links to the entire segment which is two parts. No […]
