Adventures in NYC

Time Keeps on Tickin’ into the Future

June 6, 2011

Having children is the ultimate magnifying glass into really understanding how fleeting the precious moments are that we have on this earth. Every day, my kids do or say something that compels me to close my eyes and take a mental record so that I might never forget. I take note of everything: The time, [...]

‘Tis the Season for Love

May 31, 2011

I’ve fallen again for this city. Spring has officially made it’s awesome appearance, and just like *that*, I’ve forgiven and forgotten the long, brutal winter that I thought would never leave. I began to seriously doubt my capability for living in New York City through the next two years before Justin graduates Dental School. By [...]

Road Full of Promise: Two Years

May 14, 2011

Today marks the second birthday of one of the coolest, most poignant projects of my life. I’ve been blogging now for two years exactly, and while it feels about right, I’m still in awe at the freedom and joy that documenting our journey to New York City from California has brought me. When I started [...]

Gibson Girl in a Gibson World

May 12, 2011

If you’ve been a MGC reader for even a little while, you know that I have a no-holds-barred relationship with my hair. I don’t mess around or compromise on any level when it comes to the style and cut of my hair. There have been a few painful and poignant lessons learned in the past-followed [...]

Spring: Welcoming the Supreme Diva

April 27, 2011

It’s ok, Spring. I’ll forgive you for being a lot late this year. You are, after all, my favorite time of the year. I’ve never seen anything more glorious than New York City when you come along. I vowed in December that I would kiss the toes that brought you in, and on my knees [...]

Touring in our Maclaren Twin Triumph

April 22, 2011

Since having two children 19 months apart, selling our cars and moving to Manhattan, I’ve become quite the stroller connoisseur. I need something that can tote two children plus all of their accoutrement, is easy to push for long distances and compact and light enough to carry down the stairs of the subway while holding [...]

We Like to Moomah, Moomah

April 19, 2011

My mom came to spend some time with us during her spring break last week (she’s a very special RSP teacher for the elementary level in the Bay Area), so of course I couldn’t wait to show her one of my new, fabulous NYC finds. We’re all about hands-on, crafty and imaginative experiences in our [...]

LuckyKids Red Carpet Launch

April 15, 2011

I’m fortunate enough to be able to attend fashion events for adults, and that usually entails me getting as snazzy as possible and heading to said event by myself. Last night was an exception. I was invited to bring Jack and Zoe to the red carpet launch of LuckyKids Magazine at Stella McCartney in the [...]

Just Wednesday

April 7, 2011

Three days a week, I get Zoe all to myself. When we aren’t at home playing “babies”, we shop, get “coffee”, and cruise around the neighborhood when weather allows. This is the first time we’ve been able to spend time together, being the second child to a brother who is only 19 months her senior. [...]

Winter Whimsy

April 4, 2011

I am aware that it’s technically Spring. I’m going to go ahead and call it whatever I want until it starts acting as it should. If it looks like a grump, and feels like a grump, well then… it’s probably Winter in April. Jack and Zoe have started riding their scooters to preschool and back, [...]
