Havana Central, Times Square…A Mojito and A Smile
After a long day at home and working outside of it, hubby and I were in the rare and fortunate position of being near the Times Square area on a beautiful NYC night, without the kids. We walked around for a bit, which we can do for hours and hours when it's just the two of us. We made wedding plans (we plan to renew our vows in a few years), [...]
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 [...]
Sunset at The Boat Basin, NYC
NYCity Mama had a hectic day. As she cleaned her apartment, completed some writing projects in the short span of nap time (a rarity in itself), and did all her motherly duties, she became tired, and in dire need of a moment of Zen. Mama used to have a sitter. Someone she called on occasions like these when she needed a moment or a date night. [...]
Tale of Two Brothers in Neufled Playground, Riverside Park, NY
Another hot, sunny, pseudo-summer day in NYC. NYCity Mama looked outside her window and saw the street vibrant with people in shorts and summer dresses, entering and exciting shops, eating ice cream, and enjoying the sun's heat. Mama's boys, on the other hand, were busy undoing whatever organizing she had done, getting on each other's nerves, [...]
Hanging Out at The Upper West Side, NY/Metro Diner
NYCity Mama woke up to the noisy presence of her boys. The weather these past few days have been terribly cold, and though she dared to venture outside on one of those days with the little ones, it seemed that not too long after they were miserable and wanting to go home. So, they've stayed home and have found ways to entertain themselves, but [...]
Debi Derryberry at Bank Street Books, NYC
"Mama? Mama, I whan a baba." NYCity Mama hoped she was dreaming. "Mama, wheck-up!" She opens her eyes, heavy with sleep. And there he was. The 2 year old. Curly blond hair a chaotic mess. "C'mon Mama!" He starts taking the sheets off. Mama looks at the clock. 6:00 in the morning, on a Saturday. She's been a mom for 11 years now, [...]
Children’s Museum of Manhattan, NY
Living in New York City is a wonderful experience. Being able to raise kids here, or at least being able to make the city and all it has to offer accesible to one's children is also a wonderful experience. And though NYCity Mama appreciates this, she also is well aware of how expensive it can be take part in all these activities with the kids [...]
Brunch at Manhattan Diner, Upper West Side, NYC
Another lazy Sunday morning. NYCity Mama is one of those fortunate wives that she rarely , ever hears of. Normally on weekends, but especially on Sundays, her husband lets her sleep in till she is fully rested, or her kids wake her up (usually the latter). And usually, she will drag herself into the kitchen where her husband has a warm cafe [...]
