Happy 4th of July. I hope that you enjoy the day with family and friends. We are headed out of town for the day to visit a friend. Thank goodness she has a pool because given that it’s going to hit close to 100 degrees today and it will keep my daughter occupied since they […]
Keeping Up with Early Tech Adopters
Originally posted on NYC Mom Blogs April 12, 2010 This month is my daughter’s seventh birthday. For the last year and a half, she has been begging for a Nintendo DS. And why is that? Because literally, everyone in her peer group has one, so she, of course has to have one. Personally, I don’t […]
Wordless Wednesday – Hanging with my Godmother
Last weekend, a group of us went to dinner at Buon Gusto on the upper east side. I go back and forth between going it alone or bringing my daughter since it ends up way past her bedtime. I decided to bring her along and she was fabulous, behaviour wise, eating her dinner wise and […]

Therapy Thursday – One Task At A Time
Months ago, I developed a Rewards and Consequences chart that detailed all the tasks that my daughter was to complete and the rewards and consequences that would happen if she completed or did not complete a task.

Everyone heads to the Highline Park during the day but the evening is a great time to walk those few short blocks and see the city and the New Jersey skyline from a different perspective and all light up.
