Happy About the New Happy Meal?

September 23, 2011

My four-year-old daughter and I went first to McDonald’s in the Chelsea section of Manhattan for the launch of the new Happy Meal, an event hosted with Moms and the City. I remember Happy Meals from my childhood. Oh, do I remember them well. Growing up in the suburbs lent itself to drive-thru cuisine. It [...]

American Living BTS Giveaway

My kids are now a week into school and truly loving every single moment. They love the confidence it brings, the creativity they are encouraged to explore, and their peers most of all.

Lens Crafters & My Mini Makeover

September 5, 2011

Two times in my life I’ve had my vision checked-both times before I turned 16. I can’t remember exactly what the reason was that I went in, but I imagine it was because I wasn’t focusing well (turns out, it wasn’t a vision issue). My eyes were dilated and they found an astigmatism in my [...]

On The Move {$50 Amazon Giveaway!}

August 31, 2011

For the past week I’ve been in suburbia, living the quiet life without any children or anything to clean. A press trip-turned-hurricane-detour has left me in the lap of luxury: A quiet, cozy space in my mother’s home, with my mom’s cooking, with full use of my mother’s vehicle. I’ve almost completely forgotten what it [...]

Everyday Summer Dishes

August 16, 2011

I love to cook. In fact, I foresee many features involving food in the future on Momma’s Gone City because I have so much fun cooking and creating dishes for my family.

Hershey’s Air (balloon) Delight

August 7, 2011

Hershey’s has brilliantly figured out how to marry chocolate and, well… air. I was invited along with other members of the media to literally taste their new aerated product elevated off of the ground in a hot air balloon-and it was one of the neatest things I’ve ever done. We were transported to New Jersey [...]

Foodcation with the Residence Inn

August 6, 2011

Perhaps it’s my age or the fact that I’m a wife and seasoned mother to nearly three children, but the brilliance of food and comfort have really taken a front seat on my priority list. Gone are the days when a meal was an afterthought and sleeping on an ottoman was indicative of a decent [...]

On the Road with Little People

July 29, 2011

Growing up in California, our lives were often sprinkled with yearly road trips. Some of them longer than others, but all of them memorable as quality time spent with family and friends. Being that we were smack in the middle of the state on the coast by the Bay, trips were somewhat easy to Lake [...]
