There are tons of really amazing parks in NYC. Washington Square Park, Bryant Park, Carl Shultz Park, Madison Square Park…just to name a few. In this video, I highlight my absolute favorites along the westside on Manhattan. I hope you get to check them out when you come visit! These videos on NYC are for SheStreams [Continue]

After our fun adventures at Chocolate World, the family and I couldn’t wait to visit Hershey Park. I had heard so much about the park from so many different people who have gone, and never once have I heard anyone say anything negative about it, we just needed to go see for ourselves. We went [Continue]

We’re continuing to share our water park adventures in what has been our “Road Trip Weekends“.

It was hot and all we wanted to do was go to the beach.  Thing is, this idea was spontaneous, and anyone who has children knows that “spontaneity” is not easy to pull off.  But anyone who knows me also knows that I am always up for a challenge, especially when it comes to figuring [Continue]

Rain, rain go away.  This is what NYCity Mama was thinking when she looked outside and saw the raindrops breaking up and drip as they hit her bedroom window.  She and her family had made plans to attend a picnic hosted by two wonderful blogging forces, Liz of Mom101/Cool Mom Picks and Emily of theMootherhood, as part [Continue]
