This past summer, a close friend of mine gave me a book recommendation. The two of us have exchanged titles with one another for years now, always books for our own reading pleasure. This time, the suggestion was for my daughters. We had just spent an entire day together with our kids and she thought […]

Love Letters from the Benches of Central Park
If you’ve ever strolled in Central Park, you have seen that there are thousands of benches throughout the park. Each with a unique view, providing a place to take a break, feed a baby, rest tired feet, have a chat, read a book or just take a moment to take in the true splendor of […]
North Fork Fun – Carousels, Seafood & Wine!
This past weekend we headed to Greenport, on the North Fork of Long Island. It’s our fourth trip there and one we all look forward to each year. Greenport was once a whaling and ship building village, as well as a huge oystering center, in the first half of the 20th century. It’s also known […]
Fabulous Fall Deals in New York!
What makes fall in New York so fabulous? The take-your-breath-away leaf colors in Central Park, extra chocolatey hot chocolate at Serendipity’s, trick-or-treating along NY’s side streets (and secretly high-fiving yourself when someone gives away full-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter cups that mysteriously end up in your bag), and now… Mommybites Fabulous Fall Deals! That’s right – […]

Forced to Unplug
The other day I sat down in front of my laptop to get a bunch of stuff done. I needed to order a Halloween costume, reserve a book at the library, pay a bill and email pictures to a friend. As I tried repeatedly to get online, I kept getting an error message saying the […]
Expectant Moms’ Night Out
Last Thursday, Mommybites held an expectant mom event held at COCO-MAT on Mercer Street. The party was generously sponsored by Motorola, so over 30 expectant moms were able to come and enjoy the evening at no cost! Rebecca (of Mommybites) and I ran the event, and when we walked into COCO-MAT we were floored by […]
Sh*tty Mom
Sh*tty Mom is insightful, honest and gives great tips on useful parenting subjects such as “How to Hand off the Newborn Who Just Filled a Diaper.” It’s being called “hysterical” and even “criminally funny.” I don’t get it. Why call it anything but, “about f*cking time”? (For the mom standing there holding your just-crapped-in-its-diaper baby […]
Under the Sea: Finding Nemo Lessons
Finding Nemo is a Walt Disney Picture and Pixar animated film. It is such a brilliant movie, which has so many life lessons in it. I am a huge believer in teaching kids lessons and principles visually. It’s almost like you can see the light bulb go off in their heads as they connect the […]
Brooklyn Ahoy! Delicious Crabs in Brooklyn
Labor Day weekend always arrives too soon. Not quite ready for the summer to end, we were feeling like we needed one more seaside getaway that didn’t require a lot of travel. So, we headed to Brooklyn Crab in Red Hook, a relatively new seafood place my husband had heard about. To get there, you […]
