Last week, I attended my daughter’s school auction held at the Players in Gramercy Park. This was my first school auction and I was really impressed by the venue as well as the selection of auction items in the catalog. This is a public school after all and no celebrity parents. There were a wide […]

Babysitter Worthy – For once the # 1 movie deserves to be at the top
Take the time to go see Star Trek. For once the hype exceeds my expectations. J.J. Abrams earns his paycheck in rebooting this franchise. You don’t have to be a trekkie to like this movie because if you are I am sure you will find fault with a lot of it because even though I […]
Yes, nursery school admissions is really that competitive
I just saw the movie, Nursery University on Showtime and it brought back memories of the pre-k and elementary school process. Yes, it is that competitive and overwhelming. I envy those parents who just did not play into the hysteria. I have to say that I never looked at nursery schools because my daughter attended […]

Top 5 Babysitter Worthy Movies of the summer
I am a true movie buff and having a child has not stopped me from going to the movies, I just go to fewer of them. Let’s face it, it’s not just the price of the movies/popcorn that you have to shell out for but now I have to really consider if a movie is […]
Oh to be young and have a hit show. Great photo.
So many dreams, so little time. I would love to just once have the opportunity to have a stylist and be photographed professionally (and touched up, of course). Looking at this latest Gossip Girl promo made me envious. I must say that whomever styled this shot, deserves a bonus. All of them are good looking […]
I love Apple – let me count the ways
This is a blatant plug for Apple. I have two bad habits which at this stage in life, I am trying to change but most likely won’t. One, I am a procrastinator and two, I hate to read instruction books. This is why I love having a Mac computer. I recently bought the 15″ MacPro. […]
Now it’s hip to go to public school in New York City
I remember this time last year being saddened that my little Alex was rejected by all the private schools we applied to. Mind you, I did not have the financial resources to pay $30, 000 in tuition but no matter, I was still upset by this outright rejection. I could go on about the private […]
