It’s back to school time and already fall – our favorite season! So many fun activities are near NYC and are just a bus, train, or car ride away.

The Ultimate Moms’ Night Out: Holiday Bash 2013 Buzz

Avoiding The Perils of the Halloween Trail
When I was growing up, the main thing we worried about at Halloween was a non-packaged item that might be given to us by “freaks.”I do find it somewhat ironic that, of all things, we were warned about apples.Back then we weren’t concerned about genetically modified or organic varieties of apples.

Hoping For A Healthy Head Start
This past weekend my daughters had a sleepover at their grandparents’. When they got home, they told us about all the fun they had, including having breakfast for dinner on Saturday night, which included three eggs each and an obscene amount of crispy bacon on the side. They giggled as they described how their food-fest […]
