It was hot and all we wanted to do was go to the beach. Thing is, this idea was spontaneous, and anyone who has children knows that "spontaneity" is not easy to pull off. But anyone who knows me also knows that I am always up for a challenge, especially when it[...]
Memorial Day weekend had begun and I was going to make it GREAT. Because in NYC, Fleet Week is full of activities for adults and kids, and do a pretty good job in celebrating the uniforms that step on shore for a reprieve. And all this "greatness" was going to be k[...]
4:00AM. My husband gently tugged at me to wake me up. I had promised my 11 year old son that I would treat him to something special. I dragged myself out of my comfy bed and washed my face with cold water. My eyes were red from lack of sleep, but I was excited[...]
It's been starting to feel more and more like summer is upon us. New York City in the months of May and June takes on a new life. Concerts are being held every where you turn, eateries are more confident on re-establishing their outside eating seating, fountains ar[...]

Mother's Day morning. I didn't sleep in. As a matter of fact, as strange as it may be, I actually ended up waking up earlier than ever, before anyone - even the kids. Because the kids have a habit of invading our bed in the wee hours of the morning, we were all[...]
It was a gorgeous spring day in NYC so I decided to take a stroll in the small, but lovely Bryant Park. When I worked in the area years ago this was the place I liked coming to to de-stress during my lunch hour or after work on warm nights. The park, surround[...]
