One of those wacky philosophical questions you hear growing up is “If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? I had one of those “if a tree falls in the forest” real life moments. Last month, I received an email from Ju Ju […]
Dear Darling Daughter – Kudos for a Job Well Done in Ballet Class
Last week was an interesting week for both of us. What parent doesn’t want more for their child than they had as a kid, it’s only natural and I am no different. But in my efforts to provide some of these experiences that I did not have, I sometimes worry that maybe I am pushing […]
Wordless Wednesday – NYC Single Mom Meets the Lennon Sisters
Last week, I attended the Timetoplaymag.com 2010 Holiday Toy preview. I must admit that when I received an invitation to meet the Lennon Sisters, I could not imagine why they would be at the Toy Fair. Well I am glad that their PR rep kept asking if I wanted to interview them because I would […]

Latest Bullying Incident Ends in Death – RIP Tyler Clementi
The death of Tyler Clementi has haunted since I read the story in this morning’s paper. I can honestly say I truly hate (and hate is a strong word) those jerks did this to him. I am have been so sickened by this story that I just can’t stop thinking about it. First I cant […]
Floating Torii Gates – Real vs Fake: Wordless Wednesday
I love the juxtaposition of the two photos, Orlando, Florida vs. the Torii Gates, Itsukushima Shrine located on the island of Itsukushima Island, near Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan. The Torii gate in the photos is probably one of the most famous landmarks in Japan. Torii is a traditonal gate found at the entrance to Shinto […]
No Black Princesses Allowed at Walt Disney World’s Cinderella’s Castle
In 2009, Walt Disney released, The Princess and the Frog featuring the first African-American Princess. When the original announcment came that Disney was developing the film, the response was “it’s about time and what took so long.” And I agree, it was an achievement. Princess Tiana entered a very elite club, the Disney Princess Club […]
Why living in New York City is Unique – The Icee Lady
What I love about living New York City is the availability of a truly unique experience that my daughter or I would never experience in the rest of the U.S. Sure, every neighborhood may have a Mr. Softee or Good Humour Ice Cream truck that comes to the neighborhood but do you have ices being […]
