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 [...]

Manhattan Mini Storage Searches for The Most Cluttered Apartment in NYC!
If you follow me on twitter, than you know that one of the things I most tweet about, aside from all the awesomeness to be found in New York City, is the lack of space to store all the awesomeness.

New York City: To Love, To Hate, To Love You
As much as I adore New York, there are moments when I am confronted with the challenges one faces when raising a family in the big city and start feeling like maybe my love is faltering. We all know what they are: the schools, the high rents, the hectic lifestyle. I won't deny it. It's all true. I am currently looking to move to a different [...]
Sony Wonder Technology Lab, NYC
On a NYC day, very similar to the chilly, cloudy one we are experiencing today, the kids and I set out for some fun. One of my things about fun in the city, is to pin point the places where that fun can be found inexpensively or free.

When visitors think of fast food in New York City, they often think of two things: pizza and hot dogs. And man do we have an awesome selection of both. As a New Yorker, I am not leery about grabbing a “dirty dog” from the corner vendor, or a messy slice from the local pizza joint down the block. But if you’re just visiting – especially [...]
