This is it. It seems like yesterday, I was touring my daughter’s elementary school wandering the halls looking at artwork, and checking out the teachers. Today, my daughter will be graduating from 5th Grade and headed off the Middle School. Good god, where did the time go? Over the last few weeks, every time, I […]
New York Skyline from Brooklyn Bridge Park
There is nothing more stunning that seeing the New York skyline in all it’s glory. And one of the best views can be had from the Brooklyn Bridge Park. In addition to the views, there is so much to do that just walking along the Brooklyn Bridge Park from riding Jane’s Carousel, playing soccer, kids […]
Her first phone at 11
Yes, you heard it right. I bought my daughter a phone at age 11. Before you get the pitchforks out I have a very good reason. And for the record, it was never my intended plan to get her a phone. Seriously, I thought that she would not be getting a phone until high school […]
Bad Parenting is About to Happen – One More Month of School Left
I have no idea why or how it happens but after Memorial Day, I lose all motivation to deal with my daughter and school. You see New York public school students are literally the last kids in school in the entire country. Even the private school adjourn by the middle of June. Throughout the […]
Statue of Liberty
While my daughter and I were out walking, we passed a Crocs store. My daughter immediately noticed that the giant Statue of Liberty “picture” was made entirely out of little baby Crocs. We had to stop and record this cute little moment. So touche to Crocs and the genius who came up with the idea. […]

The Perfect Mother’s Day #MothersDay
Mother’s Day is certainly a special day and now that my daughter is older she wants to make it special for me. She has planned a special dinner of Filet Mignon and her own macaroni and cheese recipe. She asked me if I wanted to go the Metropolitan Museum for Mother’s Day. Seriously, since when […]
A Moment Alone @RitzCarlton
Parenting as a single mom is filled with so many ups and downs: moments of insecurity, being overwhelmed with the day to day life ticks, dealing with being the sole earner but of course I would NOT trade the title of mother for all the money in the world. That all said, enjoying the morning […]
Business Trip Equals Guilt
Over the years I have had to travel on business for my job, even traveling to Uruguay for a photo shoot when she was a toddler. In recent years I have added blog trips to my away travels. Of course, I have felt guilty leaving her but truth be told, I have welcomed the break […]
“Because I said so” #parentingtips
When I was growing up, we never argued with our parents and I mean never, even as adults. When my dad said do something, we did it. PERIOD! He often used the expression “because I said so!” No explanation, what ever. Our generation of parents are expected or should I say it’s recommended that we […]
