NYCity Mama had a hectic day.  As she cleaned her apartment, completed some writing projects in the short span of nap time (a rarity in itself), and did all her motherly duties, she became tired, and in dire need of a moment of Zen. Mama used to have a sitter.  Someone she called on occasions [Continue]

Another hot, sunny, pseudo-summer day in NYC.  NYCity Mama looked outside her window and saw the street vibrant with people in shorts and summer dresses, entering and exciting shops, eating ice cream, and enjoying the sun’s heat.  Mama’s boys, on the other hand, were busy undoing whatever organizing she had done, getting on each [Continue]

Ah, Madison.  Honestly, before she met her husband, NYCity Mama didn’t know much about Madison, or Wisconsin, except that it was known for its cheese and farms, and if she thought about it that much it was never. But some years ago, she met the love of her life, her “cowboy” she used to call [Continue]

Easter morning.  NYCity Mama and family were staying with family and having a great time.  They had already seen tons of friends, had seen almost all the family members, and even done two egg hunts in one day!

Air traveling with kids.  We’ve all heard nightmare stories about the incessant crying, the constant kicking on the seat, the trying to keep the little ones from disrupting other passengers on the plane.  When NYCity Mama had just one child it seemed so much easier to travel, not only financially easier, but logistically as well.
