In my continued effort to highlight a few of the city's most historic landmarks, I have been visiting sites to personally experience them and let you know why you should not only visit but also vote for your favorite. The next site I want to highlight is Japan Society located 33 East 47th Street. It has for its mission statement the following: Japan Society is the leading U.S. organizati[...]
This is a question that I get asked quite a bit. As a mother of three boys, people are often very curious to know when did I set out on my first adventure with my children? I have been traveling with my children since I got the ok from the doctor to do so. I took my first born to Disney when he was less than a year old and to Europe when he was barely 5. Would I do it again, and did I wi[...]
As I sit here typing this, I am enveloped in the joy of having just dropped my little baby boy (5 years old) at school. He was looking pretty handsome in his dress shirt and excited for picture day. I thought it funny that he chose to stand next to his teacher at the school yard as opposed to running around with his friends because he didn't want to get dirty before photos. I drove away fr[...]

Last time I visited Melbourne, FL was about 13 years ago. I was a single mom at the time and moved to Orlando, FL to be near my own mother. I remember having days when I was really, really sad and on those days, I would pack up my little baby, not even a year old yet, and we would take the hour drive out of Orlando, past Cocoa beach and straight to were highway A1A ended, on Melbourne Beac[...]
In this post I am probably not going to say anything that you haven't already heard others say about Disney - how it's filled with fun for the whole family; how it has this incredible ability to create experiences that feel magical in nature and are wonderful in that they stay with us forever. You probably have heard how it's the place where families come to spend time together, to reconne[...]
If you want to get a taste of NYC and its rich history, to me, there is no better place to start than the Museum of The City of New York. Though the exhibits change and the information display can be different from one installment to another, the essence of the city, of the people who live here, and of the stories to be told is ever-present.read more[...]
We are so excited! On May 19th, 2012, the Taste of Tribeca, one of my favorite foodie events the kicks off the food event season for me in New York City, is returning, this year bigger than ever. If you recall from the Delicious Taste of Tribeca last year, we had a blast and really enjoyed the sense of community that you get from this event. Taste of Tribeca started a 18 years ago wh[...]
It wasn't the season, I was told, to really enjoy all the beauty Napa Valley has to offer. I should come back in September, it was said. Nevertheless, my time there was a wonderful one. Granted there was a lot of eating and drinking and merriment with friends, but when in Napa...

I actually don't know anything about wine. Ok, no. I know a little something about wine. Like, I finally know enough about tannins and astringency to understand why I don't normally favor red wines. I am less confused about the whole decanting thing. I've learned that thin legs (which have nothing to do with legs you walk with) mean high alcohol count (which can totally affect the legs[...]
