Getting Ready for Halloween!
My apartment is abuzz this week! Halloween, right around the corner...actually, up the road at this point! My little ones are just itching to get into their costumes and going Trick-or-Treating. Last year, we went around the neighborhood at the local businesses and they were all handing out candy. Then we participated in a neighborhood [...]
From the Zoo to Downtown, Madison, WI
We had a busy day today. It is our last day before we head out to our next stop. I wanted to share with you those fun things I love to do when I am with my family in Madison. It truly is a great town. And though I am a New Yorker to the bone, I can't help but feel nostalgic and miss my former home every time I visit. We missed a few places, [...]
In The Rain in Madison Square Park
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 just for a change in scenery, at [...]
The Little Red Lighthouse, Ft. Washington Park, NY
It was Father's Day and because of a tight deadline he was on, the only thing NYCity Mama's husband wanted to do was get some work done. It was rainy on and off (mostly on) and it seemed like the lazy Sunday would be spent inside. But with the boys getting louder and cabin fever starting to set in, she decided to take them for a nice long [...]
Bronx Zoo: A Day in Pictures, Memorial Day ‘09
NYCity Mama and her family love the Bronx Zoo. She has written extensively about it before. This past memorial day weekend they ventured for a warm day at the zoo. She decided to share their day, and the fun they had there, and tell her story through her photography. Enjoy! [...]
Orchard Beach/Lickety Split, City Island, Bronx, NY
It was hot. NYCity Mama's husband wanted to go to the beach. Thing is, this idea of his was spontaneous, and anyone who has children knows that "spontaneity" is not easy to pull off. But anyone who knows Mama also knows that she is always up for a challenge, especially when it comes to figuring out ways to keep her family entertained and [...]
Fleet Week on The Intrepid, Pier 84/Sullivan St. Bakery, Hell’s Kitchen, NY
Memorial Day weekend had begun. Just like that. It caught NYCity Mama off guard. It wasn't too long ago she had been talking about making plans to go away with the family, holding off scheduling the trip "till later" when all of a sudden the weekend was upon her and no plans had been made. So, here they were, stuck in NYC, on a holiday [...]
Nelson A. Rockefeller Park, Battery Park, NYC
It's been starting to feel more and more like Summer is upon us, which is a good thing considering that it is almost June! 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 are on, though [...]
Qubo Fun at The Scholastic Store, Soho, NY
"Look Mama! It's Turbo Dogs!" NYCity Mama's 3.5 year old could not believe his eyes. He stood in awe for a few seconds before finally moving slowly towards him. Mama and family had ventured downtown to their favorite bookstore, Scholastic in Soho, to see two of the boys' favorite Qubo television characters, "Dash" from Turbo Dogs and "Dragon" [...]
The Many Paths in Central Park
The past few days had gone by with NYCity Mama not feeling quite herself. Fighting a cold and feeling exhausted had kept her homebound for two days, which is huge for her and the boys as they are always doing something or another. Today however, she was feeling not 100%, but a lot better, and this was enough to get her motivated to go for a 6AM [...]
