nyc-etc: i want candy
April 19th, 2013
It’s NO secret that we love sweets around here. And between our many jaunts to Economy Candy and Sockerbit (not to mention the rotating array of fruit rolls, caramels and brittle that come out of my kitchen), I usually feel like I’ve got the whole “sugar thing” well covered. And then Chelsea sent me this [...]
winter with a toddler: your “survival” kit
February 12th, 2013
When we dropped Noah’s nap back in August, I didn’t quite notice the change to my day-to-day at first. He has school every afternoon, and even the weekends were easy enough to fill – as long as we’re outside Noah is a happy camper. But once the weather turned, things got a bit more…challenging. Especially weekends. [...]
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” [...]
lunch hour nyc
January 2nd, 2013
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season – it went by way too fast… Mine was great – a bit of a whirlwind but so much fun, with, of course, lots of great outings. Which, of course, I look forward to sharing with you! The first is an exhibit currently on [...]
the lowline
September 22nd, 2012
I had a whole other post planned, but I saw something so cool yesterday – and it won’t be around for long – so I had to share it with you all right away! We (Noah, my parents and I) attended an exhibit illustrating the vision behind the world’s first underground park – called, appropriately enough, [...]
thursday thoughts
August 30th, 2012
So here I am, back to Thursdays with Noah. Where did the summer go? I loved the fact that my outings with Noah were on Thursdays, as that was typically my “day” with Chelsea over the summer. And while her work schedule didn’t allow for as many adventures this year, we managed to squeeze a [...]
woke up, it was a chelsea morning
July 30th, 2012
Our last Thursday was our “last Thursday“. And it was hot. Blazing hot. The kind of hot that should have sent us right to a pool- any pool – or sent the boy to school for a morning in the sprinklers, followed by a nice cool nap indoors. No way. Noah was starting camp on [...]
redux
July 23rd, 2012
I’m heading out shortly to meet Chelsea for a girls’ overnight in New York City. By now you know that our family loves its traditions. Whether it’s the same “first meal” at Disney, handmade signs for a birthday, or a movie date to celebrate the beginning of holiday break, we’ve gathered enough over the years [...]
kicking it old school, part two – central park zoo
July 16th, 2012
Of all the wonderful zoos in New York, I’m definitely “Team Central Park”. Ever since my first visit to the Central Park Zoo - when Chelsea was just a baby – I’ve been hooked. I love the architecture and overall design, the manageable size and layout, and the fact that when you leave the zoo you [...]
here we are now, going to the west side
June 23rd, 2012
With a gorgeous day in the forecast (and Chelsea and my parents along for the ride), I decided to explore the Upper West Side - a part of the city I rarely visit. First stop was the new Illumination Lawn at Lincoln Center. Illumination Lawn is actually the sloping “green roof” of a restaurant, and part [...]
