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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Life with Charlie

April 6, 2011

This new furbaby of ours is just a delight. She has slept with us every night since she has been with us, and is the sweetest most playful creature. She loves the kids, and they both are so very proud of their new little kitten sister. I would love to know what her life was [...]

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, [...]

Cruisin’ in the new Bugaboo Donkey

March 31, 2011

Yesterday, the kids and I were asked to head down to one of our favorite stores in SoHo, giggle (for whom I’ll be blogging for shortly-yay!), to take a few photos with and cruise around in the new, mega hyped Bugaboo Donkey stroller. I’ve been waiting for months to get my paws on this hot [...]

Smitten for Kittens

March 29, 2011

Over the weekend, we took a family trip to Home Depot to pick up a light for the kids room. Interesting side note: The only rooms with lights installed in our apartment are the bathroom and kitchen. We decided to stop into Petco in Union Square to replace our broken fish bowl (granite counters and [...]
