The NYC Pollen Plague

June 16, 2011

I wrote this post while participating in a blog tour conducted by Clever Girls Collective on behalf of Children’s Claritin®. I have been compensated for my time commitment to the program. In our family, allergies of any kind are rare, and in the worst cases fairly mild-generally speaking. My husband and I have both been [...]

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 [...]

Stroller Obsession: Bugaboo Donkey

May 26, 2011

The hottest item to land in the hands of New York City’s poshest parents is the new double stroller by Bugaboo. We were given a few precious weeks with the new Bugaboo Donkey, and while we aren’t the the ritziest crew around, I certainly felt like it for a brief stint. Before we moved to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Love Manifested

May 6, 2011

A few weeks ago, I mentioned a very large, special project that I’ve been working on. I’m actually quite impressed with myself for keeping it in for as long as I have (which, isn’t long). I’m a terrible secret keeper. The first week of April was extraordinarily busy for us. I launched Two Sides One [...]

Going Green: Baby Steps

May 4, 2011

Every single day, as a family we try to do just a little bit more to help out our earth by recycling, using less energy, and creating as little possible trash as we can. I’m from the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Generation. These ideas were formed in our brains early on, starting in middle school or [...]

Day Trip to Sesame Place (& Giveaway)

May 3, 2011

Over the weekend, we were invited to head out to Pennsylvania to celebrate Sesame Place’s opening day. The weather was promising and it’s been way too long since we all escaped the city as family, so we booked a Zip Car ($130 for a full day-worth it) and headed out for the afternoon. Look Mom! [...]

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 [...]
