This morning I was woken up, by two of my three children who choose to come into my bed. Annoying? Yes. It’s 5:00 in the morning. And even as I write this, they are happily snoring where I should be. I grab my coffee, turn on my computer, only to read this: It’s a poll [Continue]

I personally almost always think of the many spoons of honey and lemon juice my grandmother, mother and aunts would give me any time I showed [Continue]

Yay! Sing for Hope has brought back the Pop-Up Pianos to New York City! We love them. We never know where they will, um, pop-up, but when we see them we can’t help but be attracted to play them. This latest encounter was at Inwood Hill Park, after a wonderful nature walk and morning of [Continue]
