This past weekend, we went to see Despicable Me. My daughter came out with two bon mots that brought a chuckle to me and the twenty somethings sitting next to her. Bon Mot 1: Before the movie started, they showed a preview of Megamind. At some point, the voice over says “Starring Brad Pitt as […]
Imagination Playground At the South Street Seaport
Imagination Playground at the South Street Seaport is New York’s latest playground. It opened last week to great fanfare. Designed by David Rockwell, the architect and designer of LA’s Kodak theatre, Rockwell tried to bring about an European sensibility to the design of the playground.

Per Elizabeth Hasselbeck I am a LESBIAN

Mommy, You Are so Disorganized
Originally posted on NYC Moms blog June 27, 2010 When my daughter was an infant/toddler, I was your typical Type-A mom.
