Get out the Passports – Heading to Brooklyn For Lunch at the Grocery Restaurant
We celebrated my daughter’s godmother’s (she has two) birthday over the weekend. Her choice for our dining pleasures is “The Grocery Restaurant” located in Brooklyn on Smith Street. For non- Brooklynites, Smith Street has really “grown up” adding new restaurants and retailers to the neighboorhood, making it a must see destination. The Grocery Restaurant – don’t […]
Crime Never Sleeps – Shielding NYC Kids from Violence
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.

New York […]
I am not the babysitter
I am not the Babysitter One of the unspoken but extremely visible New York occurrences is the number of black nannies that populate the city. I have always found this fascinating phenomenon that we truly have not come that far from days before slavery was abolished. Rich white folks with black nannies. Anyone with eyes […]
Mashable Link Round Up Week of October 11
My week got away from me but here is a collection of posts from some of my favorite bloggers. Shiny Brite begins her family travel series by interviewing Nicole from A Mom Amok about her trip to Rome with her two kids. For me this was extremely interesting because I love Rome and Italy for […]
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 […]
