Our trip to Orlando, FL is coming to an end. It's insane to think that we have only been here 4 nights. We have done so much in that time that it really feels like we've been here a lot longer. We've made some awesome friends, both bloggers and not, and have done some really exciting things, but before I get too ahead of myself, I thought I would just start with day one of our trip, with[...]
Just in time to de-frost, I will be taking a 4-day trip to sunny Orlando, FL. Invited by the lovely people of Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Inc. and the Loews Royal Pacific Hotel, I will be joining another small group of blogger to tour some of Orlando's most exciting and fun attractions. And I will be taking my 12-year old with me. I know, lucky kid...should[...]
Spring has sprung! And in addition to the awesome weather (aside from a few Spring showers here and there), another sign that Spring has finally arrived in NYC is the amazing list of events and activities. This past weekend, On Location Tours launched their Central Park Movie Sites tour! This two-hour walking tour will offer movie lovers an opportunity to visit the locations of their f[...]
On Saturday and Sunday mornings (and, often, in the afternoon), restaurants in New York City become flooded for brunch. At some restaurants, people can wait hours for a table. As warmer weather approaches and more outdoor seating options become available, the ritual becomes even more enticing. If you’re in NYC with kids, these are the best spots on the west side: Sarabeth’s West (423[...]
While on our latest fabulous date-retreat, and after our NBC Studios tour, my husband and I headed over to Rockefeller Center. We had passes to go ice skating at the rink, but the heavy rain outside had forced the rink to close for the day. We walked through the lower level of Rockefeller Center, where those passing by have their pick of shops, eateries, and other businesses. Our pick for[...]
On our recent visit to The Adirondacks, we made a stop at The Wild Center, the Natural History Museum of the area. It was a beautiful Saturday and the sun was shining bright. Normally on days like these the last thing you want to do is be inside, but the museum is designed in such a beautiful way that you can enjoy all it has to offer, while still being surrounded by sunlight. From the mom[...]
This past weekend the family and I headed out to The Adirondacks in Upstate New York to check out an interesting story about a community that has done some amazing things for itself. I recently wrote about how in 1999 the Big Tupper ski resort was forced to close due to shifts in demand which led to the inability to financially sustain the mountain for skiers. It is clear, even still, tha[...]
Ah, Spring. At least that's what it's feeling like today in New York City. The boys and I set out to enjoy a few hours outside, after what seemed months of hibernation or enduring the cold. As my kids ran and laughed and played with the other kids, and I mingled and chatted with the smiling parents relieved to be out as well, I began to get excited about the many things that are coming up[...]
My family and I made our way out to Killington, VT recently to check out Pico Mountain. I went on behalf of Trekeroo, a wonderful site where travelers with kids have access to tips, trips, and sights as experienced by other families like themselves, and where I am a proud contributor. We had a wonderful time and I invite you to check out my reviews at Trekeroo for all the different ex[...]
On a NYC day, very similar to the chilly, cloudy one we are experiencing today, the kids and I set out for some fun. One of my things about fun in the city, is to pin point the places where that fun can be found inexpensively or free. One such place is the Sony Wonder Technology Lab in Sony Plaza on 56th St and Madison Ave. This 4-story museum is filled with fun and interactive tech[...]
