Heart Gallery NYC is a non-profit organization that connects renowned celebrity photographers with children in foster care. The photographers take incredibly beautiful photos of kids who just want to find […]
Strawberry Shortcake Turns 30
Recently, I went to a party at Alice’s Tea Cup (one of my favorite places to have tea) to celebrate Strawberry Shortcake’s 30th birthday. Yes, her 30th birthday, hard to believe, isn’t it? I loved her as a kid with her strawberry scented hair and now my daughter is able to not only enjoy playing […]
Wordless Wednesday – Lady Liberty Up Your Nose with A Rubber Hose
This past weekend, my daughter and I went on a tour of the downtown New York and the Statue of Liberty. Here she is with her sightseeing co-conspirator, nycitymama.com’s son.

We celebrated my daughter’s godmother’s (she has two) birthday over the weekend. Her choice for our dining pleasures is “The Grocery Restaurant” located in Brooklyn on Smith Street. For non- Brooklynites, Smith Street has really “grown up” adding new restaurants and retailers to the neighboorhood, making it a must see destination. The Grocery Restaurant – don’t […]
Crime Never Sleeps – Shielding NYC Kids from Violence
This weekend, we were prevented from walking on the sidewalk because it was blocked off by the easily recognizable yellow police tape indicating that a crime has happened. Given that I was with my daughter, I did not stop to ask what happened but only connected it was foul play. How is that? As far […]
First Trip to the Plaza Hotel
This weekend, we had our photos taken courtesy of Shutterfly.com and hotmomsclub.com. We had to meet at the Plaza. Now I have been to the Plaza many times even having drinks at the Oak Bar (pre-renovation) but my daughter has never been. It was quite a treat for her since Eloise is a favorite character […]
