Be Love

As parents, I've realized we grow up with our children. Having a toddler has opened my eyes to the joy of being love in everything I do. Logan's favorite activity is the slide at the local playground. As I watched him run and jump one day, with every move the careful mommy was afraid and praying he wouldn't get hurt. He finally said to me,"Come on, Mom! Come with me, let's slide!" My body felt 60, but my heart was 10! "No, Logan, mommy can't fit on the slide!" We both chuckled and finally I... read more

Lessons Moms Can Learn from Dads

So I recently read a long, controversial article on the importance of "horseplay" amongst dads and their children. The idea is that the time dads spend with their kids sometimes - in moms' eyes - is not "productive" or "not involved enough or present enough." It went on to suggest that we should allow ourselves to come to a philosophical compromise: that children do and will interact differently with moms and dads - and they should. There are also times when children do find the "fun" in... read more

My Summers in Brooklyn

What are your fondest memories growing up? Now living in a predominantly Caucasian suburban town with my two-year-old, I am itching to share some of my fondest city times  with my little boy.

Outside that same window, I made telephone cans with string and would sit on the roof and... read more

Unexpected Surprises

"So it's time for Logan to start trying the potty," says his teacher to me. A chill ran up my spine and images of the movie Alien for some reason came to mind- sheer gore, terror and screaming were what popped into my head when "the potty" was mentioned. Just as a single girl looking to land the perfect guy - who gets countless of tips on how to dress, how to laugh, which hot spot in Soho or Boho are the best places for a first date - I received so many tips on just how to make this... read more

Father’s Day

As a mom, I often have the overwhelming feeling of my heart breaking - not as a result of sadness, but the intensity of sheer joy that permeates every fiber of my being. These moments hit us all at the oddest times, don’t they? While cleaning our homes or driving to the market, sometimes early morning in the shower before the rush of the day begins. Sometimes just walking along the city streets - giving in to all your senses, looking at the people who pass you by, and appreciating the world we... read more
