My daughter had the pleasure of meeting a Rockette this weekend. Such a fun time for my daughter wandering around backstage at the Radio City Music Hall on their backstage tour. For more details on how you can go on the Backstage tour and get discounted tickets, visit NYC Single Mom Reviews.
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. Now I have been to the Plaza many times even having drinks at the Oak Bar (pre-renovation) but my daughter has never been. It was quite a treat for her since Eloise is a favorite character […]
Setting Boundaries for Kids Using the iPad
First, there was the iPhone/iPod touch that you saw kids in New York City playing with when going to restaurants now it’s the iPad. In this morning’s New York Post (yes, I read the Post,) there is an article about how the iPad is the hottest new babysitter. Does this surprise me, No. My daughter […]
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 […]
Ju Ju Chang from Good Morning America Interviews NYC Single Mom
One of those wacky philosophical questions you hear growing up is “If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? I had one of those “if a tree falls in the forest” real life moments. Last month, I received an email from Ju Ju […]
Dear Darling Daughter – Kudos for a Job Well Done in Ballet Class
Last week was an interesting week for both of us. What parent doesn’t want more for their child than they had as a kid, it’s only natural and I am no different. But in my efforts to provide some of these experiences that I did not have, I sometimes worry that maybe I am pushing […]
Wordless Wednesday – NYC Single Mom Meets the Lennon Sisters
Last week, I attended the Timetoplaymag.com 2010 Holiday Toy preview. I must admit that when I received an invitation to meet the Lennon Sisters, I could not imagine why they would be at the Toy Fair. Well I am glad that their PR rep kept asking if I wanted to interview them because I would […]
4 Tips to Surviving a Hosted Sleepover
This weekend, my daughter hosted her first sleepover and yes, I survived but barely. Although my daughter has been on countless sleepovers, I, somehow dodged that bullet. Well, no more. Last week, My friend M (another single mom), had to have knee surgery leaving her scrambling for people to host her twin 6 year old […]
Floating Torii Gates – Real vs Fake: Wordless Wednesday
I love the juxtaposition of the two photos, Orlando, Florida vs. the Torii Gates, Itsukushima Shrine located on the island of Itsukushima Island, near Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan. The Torii gate in the photos is probably one of the most famous landmarks in Japan. Torii is a traditonal gate found at the entrance to Shinto […]
