No, my daughter is not a bad student and for the record, I have never used that term. My daughter is very verbal, outgoing and not shy. While these traits will serve her well as an adult, it’s not exactly the traits to have when you are supposed to be sitting in a classroom, listening […]
Birthday, Birthday, Birthday , Baby Girl Turns 7
Well, another year, another birthday. Since March 1st, my daughter has been counting down to her birthday on Saturday, March 13. The birthday celebration began on Friday, March 12, with her school friends. For the school birthday party I ended up baking cupcakes, half chocolate, half pink, per my daughter’s request.

When Real Life collides with a Blogger Event
This past week I was invited to a blogger event which I had planned to go because the celebrity spokesperson was someone I just loved from her 80s movies and trust me, I have seen all her movies and still watch them today. The reason I ended up not going was because the celebrity’s daughter […]
Dear Kid Saturday – Happy 7th Birthday!!!
Dear Darling Daughter, Today is your seventh birthday. It seems like only yesterday when the adoption agency called me to tell me all about you and that I would become a mother. I remember the day we went to pick you up, you were sooo tiny and so quiet. How different you are today. In […]
Therapy Thursday – Continuing with Therapy
When I began therapy, I had no idea what to expect or how long I would be seeing a therapist. I had these visions like a character from a Woody Allen movie that I would be in therapy for years or at the least until my daughter went to college. Since I began seeing Dr […]

Open Letter to Mayor Bloomberg – We need more Parks
Dear Mayor Bloomberg, I am fascinated at the fact that you seem to be so concerned about the obesity issue with the children of New York City but don’t seem to provide them with outlets to run around. This past weekend, I happened upon the new park at Union Square. What struck me was that […]

My daughter’s birthday is coming up this saturday. It’s hard to believe that she got this rather large stuffed animal when she turned 6 and this year, well, she will be getting Nitendo DS.
Homemade vs Store Bought Cupcakes
This friday, my daughter’s birthday celebration is happening at school which means, I am responsible for bringing the cupcakes (no cakes please) and drinks. Since I am not working, I thought okay, I have time to bake cupcakes thus saving myself some money. Well lo and behold, she has a dance recital Friday morning, which […]
Dear Kid Saturday – Going to college
Dear Darling Daughter, Lately, you have been into having a “tickle party” before bed mood. I love that about you. What I like best about this pre-bed ritual is that after our “tickle party”, we have a little chat. Usually, it’s filled with a lot of “I love you”, “you are the best daughter in […]
