Ahhhhhh yes. The hot debate of 2013 – to feed, or not to feed in public. Everyone has an opinion, and everyone has a right to one. It’s not my personal preference to just “whip a boob out”, but it is America, and nursing mothers have that right in 45 out of the 50 states. I just came across the article where yet again, we have a lovely business saying… Keep Reading
The holidays are over, birthday – whatever the occasion. There is this huge pile of baby gifts taking over your tiny apartment like a bad case of black mold. Time for RETURNS – or as we refer to it – “Claudio’s wonderful world of Gift Cards.” When I first met Claudio, he had a stack of gift cards from prior returns the size of a $5 dollar footlong. No Joke…. Keep Reading
If you have forgotten – we live in New York City. THE CITY of ALL cities, THE one and only, the mecca, the model the best – New York City. On any one given day, there are about 300 things to do at any given hour of the day – PER borough. Stimulation overload is an understatement. So when I say I “stumbled” upon the BEST museum ever – you… Keep Reading

Of course I am extremely grateful and thankful for my little family – we are very blessed. And yes, Claudio – I am thankful you can be such a cool dad. haha – … Keep Reading
Well, I am barricaded in out here in Long Island for Frankenstorm so I figured I would take the time to catch up on blogging – and baking. Jess and Mike asked us to come apple picking with them upstate – and since I had never been before I thought it sounded fun! Another little trip upstate, look at the fall foliage, get some apples! Yes!!!! Well, my blog should… Keep Reading
So if you didn’t know (cause I definitely didn’t know) – it is tradition to shave the heads of newborn babies in the Latino culture. Well, maybe not all – but Claudio’s family is Uruguayan and Guatemalan and they both agree to it! ***UPDATE: I’m out here in Long Island thanks to Frankenstorm and I asked his dad directly about it – I am wrong – actually Guatemalans are AGAINST… Keep Reading
Last week we had our Lamaze class reunion – yep three months later you all come back with you babies – it really is pretty cool to see all the new babies an hear all the labor stories. However Claudio and his dad-in-crime Mike were chatting loudly in the hall and were shushed by another classes teacher because they were going to scare the parents-to-be with their horror stories. Lol… Keep Reading
