Moments in Santa Cruz

August 6, 2013

Life in Santa Cruz is much different than life in Manhattan. In fact, one of the only ways that it’s similar happens to be one of my favorite things about NYC: The people. Minus, of course, the always-moving mentality and attitudes. There are a lot of artsy and eclectic types here in this cozy, super […]

Anchors Away

July 28, 2013

I don’t compartmentalize well, in my mind or tangibly. Everything moves along together down the stream and I travel with it, keeping the flow as well as I can.

June 18, 2013

Last summer it occurred to me that we only had one year left as residents of New York City, and a feeling of panic set in. While it had taken everything I had just to figure out how to live successfully and happily with three little children in Manhattan, there was so much left that […]

Resident Tourist: American Museum of Natural History

April 25, 2013

The first museum that we got a family membership to-thanks to my amazing in-laws-was the American Museum of Natural History. That was nearly four years ago, and since then it has become really like a second home to us. It’s a bit of a daunting task getting there with the kids by myself, so I […]

Gorgeous in Goat-Milk Kidware: Giveaway

April 23, 2013

As is often, if not always the case, the most beautiful things in the world are void of bells and whistles and embellishments of any kind. Children are a perfect example of this.
