Sun. Finally. After weeks of rain and cloudiness the sun was out, bright and warm for everyone to enjoy, with no imminent threat of rain in the forecast. NYCity Mama had been itching to try a new beach, and she wanted to head to Staten Island for the occasion.  So she consulted her friend, and [Continue]

It is not often that NYCity Mama finds herself walking around the streets of NYC at night with the kids in tow.  But on this one beautiful evening she was happy to have been in the heart of Times Square.  Her boys love it there.  And believe it or not, when she feels a bit [Continue]

It’s been raining a lot in NYC for the past couple of weeks.  This has caused NYCity Mama to get somewhat creative in the things she and the boys do during the day.  Luckily there is always something going on at the different public libraries throughout the city.  Mama tends to venture to other neighborhoods [Continue]

NYCity Mama approached some Dads whom she has been following in the blogosphere, and who have touched her heart, made her laugh, cry, and made her really appreciate all the things fathers do for their family and children every day. She felt it important to highlight these Dads, knowing that they are only but a few [Continue]

One of the wonderful things about New York City is that just when you think you’ve seen it all, or know it all, something changes, reinvents itself, becomes anew, tempting you to come back and take another look, rediscover it, get to know it again.  It is why even after living here most of her [Continue]

One of the great things about living in New York City is that New Yorkers love a good celebration, of any kind.  There need not be a logical reason for it.  Spread the word of a fun event, and New Yorkers are there.  Such is the case of the 3rd Annual Bubble Battle in Times [Continue]
