This Is Where to Take Your Kids to See Off-Broadway Theater in NYC
One of the things I love about raising kids in New York City is the accessibility and variety of theater aimed at children. It is an activity that is enjoyable for the entire family in any weather.

Pastels vs. Glitter
My daughter’s school has a very sweet ritual. Upon drop-off in the morning all students report to the auditorium where they are met by their teachers and proceed to their classrooms.

When I was turning 13, I had a huge party to celebrate my Bat Mitzvah. If you live in New York City or the surrounding suburbs, there is no need for me to explain what this is. The theme of that party was Harlequin clowns, and the color scheme was silver, black and red. I […]

Preschool in NYC: Remember to Breathe
Pre-school. Lottery. Wait list. Utter those words out loud within range of any NYC parent and you will no doubt get a response… and most likely not a pleasant one. With a newly two year old at home, we are in the first stages of thinking about where she’ll go to pre-school and pre-k in […]
