Family fun at The Wild Center, Natural History Museum of The Adirondacks
On our recent visit to The Adirondacks, we made a stop at The Wild Center, the Natural History Museum of the area. It was a beautiful Saturday and the sun was shining bright. Normally on days like these the last thing you want to do is be inside, but the museum is designed in such a beautiful way that you can enjoy all it has to offer, while still [...]
Spring, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, & Other Reasons to Love NYC with Kids
Ah, Spring. At least that's what it's feeling like today in New York City. The boys and I set out to enjoy a few hours outside, after what seemed months of hibernation or enduring the cold. As my kids ran and laughed and played with the other kids, and I mingled and chatted with the smiling parents relieved to be out as well, I began to get [...]
Snow Day in New York City
Ah, snow days. You already know how much I love them. Though I know for a lot of people, this weather is such a drag, for me and my kids, snow is an opportunity to go outside and play! I am definitely one who believes SNOW DAYS ROCK! Snow Day in NYC, Wednesday, February 10, 2010
Ice Skating in The Pond, Bryant Park, NY
Bryant Park is one of my favorite smaller parks in NYC. I have written about it here before. It is the main location of every year's Fashion Week , and of many more events year round. But in the Winter especially, the park is transformed into a Winter Wonderland, and The Pond is created hosting a free skating rink, along with shops for the [...]
Christmas Tree Hunting at Hahn Farm, Salt Point, NY
I am in heaven. Thanksgiving came and went, and that in itself was an awesome time for our little family unit. But what I love the most right after Thanksgiving is going to a Christmas tree farm, searching for that one special tree, cutting it down, and bringing it home. Last year we drove out to Long Island to Carter Christmas Tree Farm. And it [...]
El Museo del Barrio…Reopens!
I woke up this morning with a little list of things to do today. But the one thing on my list, the one thing circled in a big red circle on my calendar was the reopening of El Museo del Barrio. Back in the day, when I was a young women in college and single...and childless, I spent many quiet afternoons walking through the Museo. I was madly in [...]
Going Green at The Race Tracks: VW Jetta TDI Clean Diesel Cup Series
Last month, my 4 year old and I drove a VW Routan loaner to Millville, NJ. We were on our way to the world-class New Jersey Motorsports Park to spend an exciting day at the VW Jetta TDI Clean Diesel Cup Series—the only Green, Clean Diesel racing series in the United States. The Cup Series is designed for 16 to 26 year old drivers who are not [...]
Madame Tussauds Wax Museum New York
Sunday in NYC. After a night hanging out with some friends till late, one would think that the last thing I would want to do would be to go out today. However, Sunday's in NYC are possibly my favorite day in the weekend to do stuff outside, weather permitting. It's New York City's "lazy day". People are out, brunching, going to festivals, [...]
Apple Picking at Pennings Orchard, Warwick, NY
Last weekend the family and I wanted to take advantage of a beautiful just-beginning-of-Fall Sunday, so we headed about an hour North of New York City to go apple picking. Normally we would wait till much later, but this year I think I actually am a bit more organized. To where when I go to the orchard, there are still actually apples on the [...]
