Blogaversary: A Blog Turns One, The Adventure Continues

Exactly one year ago, on December 10, 2008, I published my very first NYCity Mama adventure. I wrote about Ft. Tryon Park. People ask me a lot of questions about my "blogging career", and honestly, I don't have the answer to a lot of them, except for why I started.[...]

New York Hall of Science, Corona, Queens, NY

It's a beautiful, yet very cold day here in New York City.  On days like these many parents are going a little crazy trying to figure out what to do with their kids. I have a few "inside" favorites, like the The Brooklyn's Children Museum, the American Museum of N[...]

Christmas Tree Hunting at Hahn Farm, Salt Point, NY

I am in heaven. Thanksgiving came and went, and that in itself was an awesome time for our little family unit. But what I love the most right after Thanksgiving is going to a Christmas tree farm, searching for that one special tree, cutting it down, and bringing it[...]

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, New York

New York City is full of incredible, breathtaking landmarks. For a lover of New York like myself, walking down the streets of the amazing city can be an incredibly spiritual experience.  Especially when surrounded by such great architecture. One of the most recogn[...]

Favorite NYC Hotels for Special Occasions and Celebrations

I love staying in hotels.  I don't always necessarily stay in luxury hotels, especially now that I often travel with kids in tow. But there have been those moments when I have had the pleasure of experiencing that part of the New York life, whether it be for an an[...]

Halloween in Brooklyn

Ah, Fall...the countdown in everyone child's mind to Halloween. I have been getting my kids all worked up about Halloween for about a month now. Decorations in the store fronts made it that much more exciting, and stopping to stare at the window displays was the hi[...]

Greenmarket in Washington Heights, NY

Thursdays in Washington Heights. It may seem like just another day in the neighborhood to an outsider looking in, it may seem like just another work day to those just walking through to catch the train downtown. read more[...]

How I Finally Got to Sesame Street

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been fascinated by one of the most beloved shows in the world, Sesame Street.  It was a staple in our immigrant-filled home back in the early 70s.  I was even nick-named Cookie Monster by my mom (and later on Cookie b[...]

Pumpkin Picking in Dix Hills, NY

This past weekend my family and I decided to go pumpkin picking.  I had a list of places I wanted to try but it was Sunday, and some places in NJ that are closer to the city are closed on Sundays, other places seemed too far.  So we decided to look on the New Yor[...]

A necessary couple of days to reset and just breat A necessary couple of days to reset and just breathe. It’s wild that we are already on the final months of 2026. 

The world feels like it’s on fire and humanity is being tested in greater ways than so many of us can even begin to process. Society and our communities demand more from us than a lot of us have ever been called to give. But we must. And it can be exhausting and scary. But we must. 

I hope everyone goes out and votes. Protesting by NOT voting really helped to get us here. Tried and tested. So, no thanks. That was a shit plan. Now we must do more. Voting is not the overall solution. Those of us who continuously experience discrimination, misogyny, and violence towards our people know this. But it gives us a better footing to continue the fight ahead. 

There’s never “nothing” you can do, but doing nothing is never the answer. 

See you out there.
29 years ago my first boy was born. He changed my 29 years ago my first boy was born. He changed my life completely and inspired me to work hard everyday to be the best version of myself. Today, on his birthday, I invite you to go down memory lane with me. From birth to his first birthday. 

I love being your mother, @davidcaiinn. You make us  proud and your dad and I love witnessing your journey. 

You are loved more than we could ever express in our lifetimes. Happy birthday. 🎂
Started the day with a little roadtrip with Josie Started the day with a little roadtrip with Josie where she got the very rare pleasure to sit upfront (yes, she was harnessed to seatbelt) on her way to her very first doggie day care visit where she quickly made friends and happily played her heart out. But of course, it’s never enough so we got to play a bit more while the sun set. 

She is the sheddiest, most cuddly, sweetest doggie, and we love her so much. It’s only been 21/2 months, but it feels like she’s been here, with us, forever. 💕
Love is…a comfy fall cozy with Josie. 🐾💕 Love is…a comfy fall cozy with Josie. 🐾💕

Spending the next couple of days on assignment in Spending the next couple of days on assignment in Rochester, which always feels like such a special treat - to be able to work in a city I love being in so much. Excited for all the good coffee and favorite eateries I will try to fit in as much as possible while here. Such a great city.
