at the corner of parenthood and plans
June 4th, 2013
So remember my bike trip around Manhattan? Well, I did it (kind of)! Seems that – as usual – parenthood intervened to teach me that: a) I am most definitely NOT in charge of my plans, and b) a change in plans often works out even better than expected. I’ve posted Part One on Go [...]
nyc-etc: it’s about the journey…
May 27th, 2013
Chelsea’s spring break was coming to an end, and I was in the mood for an adventure – something along the lines of a how-much-can-I-cram-into-one-day excursion. There would be some fun food (of course), a little culture, and something brand new. One of my fondest childhood memories was a day spent in the city with [...]
city mouse, country mouse
May 11th, 2013
So much good stuff to share, I couldn’t wait till Monday! I’ve been thrilled to discover that children’s clothing is so much more stylish now than when I was shopping for Chelsea and Conor back in the day. And CHaLK nyc is a perfect example of how far things have come. CHaLK nyc is the creation of [...]
the high line: (early) spring
May 3rd, 2013
I was so excited about my next installment in my “Year on the High Line” series. I mean, after the winter we’ve had, who wouldn’t be thrilled to welcome spring by spending the day at one of the city’s most fabulous parks? And then I woke up to a day like most we’ve had this [...]
a sugar recap (and why I’m NOT going gluten-free)
March 2nd, 2013
Let’s start with sugar. This was in many ways much harder to give up than dairy – simply put, I missed my sugar! That said, it wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be (I know, it was only a month. And, okay, this happened). And though I didn’t notice any changes health-wise, it [...]
#2 (thoughts on two years)
February 20th, 2013
“Year two? Bring it”. image credit: Homemade Serenity That’s how I ended the post I wrote about my blog’s one year anniversary. And here we are, a whole year later. I tried to think of a clever title – something witty to say about the number “two”. This is what I found: Two’s company. It [...]
take it away…sugar (and a dairy recap)
February 7th, 2013
So I did it! A whole month without dairy (well, there was one slip – at the airport coming back from Alt, my “custom” burger order came with cheese – yes, I ate it anyway……). And, like most experiments, it had a completely different outcome than the one I was expecting. Let’s start with my [...]
take it away….dairy
January 14th, 2013
So I’m smack in the middle of a month-long experiment. It’s totally unscientific, and completely non-fact-based, but an experiment nonetheless… Curious? I’m going dairy-free for the month of January. No milk, butter or cheese. No pizza, chicken parm or malteds. No traditional baked goods. “Cow Wallpaper (Pink on Yellow)”, 1966, image courtesy of The Andy Warhol [...]
the high line: winter
January 7th, 2013
This is personal. The High Line – from the moment it opened 3 1/2 years ago – has become a very special place for me. I’m drawn to it in every season, and make several trips a year just to walk it. It’s magical for me. Chelsea and I have had an annual “girl’s night” [...]
mighty modern
December 21st, 2012
As many of you know, I’m a fan of obsessed with “Mad Men”. I love everything about it – the story lines, the characters and most of all, the art direction. It is all magnificent, and confirms for me that I was truly born in the wrong time. But the episode that sent me over [...]
