Life In The Blink Of An Island
We just got back from a wonderful family trip to Barbados. Just the other day, as I was floating in the magnificently turquoise waters, I couldn’t help but think back to all the trips I’ve been lucky enough to take to this special destination. I reflected on how each trip and island has represented a […]
NYC Family Theater Review: The Fantasticks
The Fantasticks is the world’s-longest running musical written by Tom Jones with music by Harvey Schmidt. What started in a tiny theater in 1960 on Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, now resides smack dab in the middle of Time’s Square at the Snapple Theater. While the cast has boasted such notable names as Jerry Orbach, Rita Gardner, […]
Saving Time In A (Beer) Bottle
This past Saturday was busier than most. The day’s schedule started with a family trip to church for the Sacrament of Reconciliation for our seven year old. After a confession, which was no doubt filled with the many ways she annoys her little sister, there was Easter shoe shopping to be done, followed by a […]

Make Your Way to “Show Way”
On the day that Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream reached a new level of realization – with the first Black President of the United States being inaugurated for the second time – I had my own serendipitous experience by taking my kids to a wonderful new play, which gives a broad strokes history of African […]
Food, Glorious Food!
There are many corners that our children turn that are more exciting for us than for the kids themselves. That first airplane ride that doesn’t involve a crying fit, a change of clothes or dirty looks from fellow passengers. The first movie she sits through in its entirety (in a theater) without any shushing or […]
Try Traditional Spanish Food
“A Brooklyn favorite” touts the Sancho’s website. Sancho’s first opened in 1985 and has been “serving the finest in traditional Spanish cuisine” since. This is where my husband and I had dinner on our recent date night. Grandpa was willing and eager to watch our daughter once she went to bed, so my husband and […]
