Ruby’s to the rescue! Or that’s how I like to think of them at least. Every. single. day. The Ice Cream Truck comes down the hill (in the photo above) playing his taunting and torturous music to all the parents in the neighborhood – letting children know to come running out and fill themselves with delicious over-sugared and over priced treats that melt before you can even get them back upstairs… Keep Reading
When I was pregnant, I remember expecting and planning for everything to be perfect. The cutest new baby room, picture perfect baby showers, a natural and painless birth. And then it all happened. We had a tiny crib squeezed into our tiny one-bedroom NYC apartment, people were drunk and crazy at my baby shower, and well, birth is anything but painless. Life happens, and it’s really only memorable when you… Keep Reading
Peep! Peep! Thomas the Tank Engine is steaming his way around the country this summer on his annual Day Out With Thomas Tour and this year he’s celebrating 70 years of friendship with his friends! That’s right—you and the kids can jump on the real steam engine pulled passenger train for a tour of the countryside! Of course, Maximo loved it last year so we’ll be going again this year… Keep Reading
I learned to swim when I was about 4 or 5 years old. The memory is burned into my memory like a branding stick to a steer. It was at Thiel College’s indoor pool and I was there with my aunt. They told me to jump into the water and she would catch me. She didn’t. I went under. Obviously I came up. I think I still hold a wee… Keep Reading
“I participated in a In-Home Party Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Weight Watchers Sweet Baked Goods. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.” AHHH it’s bikini season – or for a lot of us moms – last minute dieting seasoning to try and squeeze into something that doesn’t make us look like whales. As I… Keep Reading
Baby products might update and change faster than technology – and since I have preggo and new moms out there – it’s necessary to pass along all the new goodies I come across – cause everything I had just three years ago with Max is totally outdated already. (AND NO- I’m not one of the pregnant ones since I know you’re wondering). t’s just part of my job – being… Keep Reading
I remember when I was a brand new mom in the city and wondered if it was okay to just pop in for dinner anywhere with Max in tow. Now, I wouldn’t be “popping in” for dinner at Buddahkan anyways, so it wasn’t like I was heading to places I knew were off-limits, but there is just an unspoken rule in the city as to where you “should” take kids. … Keep Reading
How many times can I say it? I have a love/hate relationship with this city. But if you do the checklist of pros vs. cons (like Miranda did with Steve in Sex and the City), the pros always outweigh the cons every time. In fact, one of my favorite things as a NYC mom is the ability to have pretty much anything come to you. From groceries to cleaning ladies and… Keep Reading
I was never really a big fan of “big drinking holidays” to begin with. As a bartender for most of my earlier years, these were always spent sober waiting on sloppy drunks we referred to as “amateur outings.” So when these holidays come around as a mom, I don’t particularly get sad that I can no longer run out and grab an extra-strong margarita with the girlfriends. We can do… Keep Reading
