Originally posted on NYC Mom Blogs April 12, 2010 This month is my daughter’s seventh birthday. For the last year and a half, she has been begging for a Nintendo DS. And why is that? Because literally, everyone in her peer group has one, so she, of course has to have one. Personally, I don’t […]
My First Vlog – And Don’t Laugh
I have been wanting to do a vlog for over a year. Don’t laugh or snicker, it’s not easy. I hope I get better at this. It is my goal to do a vlog everyday. At some point, I hope I actually have something to say so if you want to have a chuckle, this […]

Dear Kid Saturday – Up and Coming Poet
Dear Darling Daughter, This past week was the first grade poetry publishing party. I love these parties because I get to see your amazing creative spirit in action.
