Post Thanksgiving Day Thanks
Although I am unemployed, I need to acknowledge what I DO HAVE and what I am THANKFUL for as I am coming up on my one year anniversary of being laid off. My Health – I am healthy, enough said. In fact, I have lost 10 pounds and lowered my blood pressure. My Friends, Family and […]
Walking To School – Living in the Moment
As anyone knows, the morning routine is akin to rustling cattle, moving them here and there all in an effort to get to a chosen destination on time. While it consistently makes me crazy trying to get my daughter out the door, so we don’t get the dreaded late pass. This morning, I realized that […]

A […]
Halloween in a High-Rise
I bet you are wondering how we celebrate Halloween. Back when my daughter was in pre-school (ahhh, wistful stare out the window), the school took the kids out to businesses in the neighborhood. There is nothing like a pack of pre-schoolers dressed in cute costumes to get a smile from jaded New Yorkers. Now, we […]
NYC Single Mom Quotes – Cliches are a Flying
What happened to me? When did I become a mother using tired old cliche examples from my childhood? Come on, I am supposed to be so much more advanced in my parenting thinking than my parents. I have watched enough Nanny 911, Super Nanny, Dr. Phil, Oprah and read articles and books to be the […]
