As a teenager, I remember feeling like my parents were still treating me like a baby and all I wanted to do was openly resist all of their rules and scream at the top of my lungs to listen to me and see that I wasn’t a baby anymore! Or in the words of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s newest Broadway musical School of Rock, “Stick it To The Man!” School of… Keep Reading
How are those resolutions coming along? If you’re like me, by this time of the year it’s getting harder and harder to stick to New Year’s resolutions. That’s why I stopped setting them a long time ago and I just try to take little steps on a daily basis to improve my life. From not having that extra scoop of ice cream, better time management and even simply taking the… Keep Reading
If you’re going to hibernate from the New York City cold, at least do so in Broadway theater! On February 11, some friends from outer-space will be visiting for one day only at the Playstation Theater. This intergalactic family with fins is on a mission – to help save Earth, and they need us New Yorkers to join in the quest. Here’s why you’ll want to join us and… Keep Reading
Holiday cards are always a PITA. Let’s be honest. You have to get kids to smile, actually get a great shot, order the cards…. sigh. So to us, it’s worth it to work with a photographer that knows how to really get that shot you’ve always wished for. And trust me when I say… Lindsay is the kid whisperer. She can literally make a model out of even the crankiest child,… Keep Reading
We’ve all left a candle burning or a curling iron on when we left the house accidentally at some point. We’re human. But we all know what can happen if unattended items can catch things on fire. During the winter season, especially the holidays, fire calls can rise due to more cooking, paying less attention and things like blankets and space heaters in the home. So, it’s always best to… Keep Reading
This post is brought to you by Delta Faucet Company. I received free product from Delta Company, but all opinions are my own. In NYC, every apartment is now considered “luxury” – meaning it has a sink and a functioning toilet. This is just way to jack up the rents in a gentrifying neighborhood while marble countertops and walk-in spa showers are only mere dreams of those of us who… Keep Reading
We gave up cable two years ago. Between my hectic traveling schedule and Maximo caring less about many of the channels, we just didn’t see a reason to pay the huge bill each month. Lucky for us, Netflix has also come a long ways in the last few years – adding in more selections of shows, movies, original programming and now, focusing on kids. Today, Meet the Kazoops! If you’re… Keep Reading
150 years ago it was 1866. That’s when William A. Breyer hand-cranked his first gallon of ice cream with fresh cream and pure cane sugar (and now Breyers Ice Cream is the maker of Americas No. 1 Vanilla ice cream!). I just want to take a minute to thank this man – and for thinking that churning cream and sugar and then freezing it sounded like a delicious idea. First of all,… Keep Reading
Let’s be honest, our little urbanite children are growing up a bit soft. I realized this the other day when I was adventuring out in the middle of no where with Max myself and we had the chance to stay at this gorgeous bed and breakfast. It was so obsolete of existence that they didn’t even have wifi or cell phone service. THE HORROR. All they had was one lowly… Keep Reading
Since I am deep into hibernation mode, I actually have some time to sit down and talk to you. Hibernation for me = staycation in New York City for sixty days. For these two months I try not to travel any further than the Metro North, or LIRR can take me. There are no suitcases, and I always sleep in my own bed. It’s the opposite of traveling for some….
