One of our family’s favorite summer outings is our annual trip to Coney Island. My husband and I started going back when we were dating and took the kids as soon as they were past the infant stage. It’s become a day trip we all look forward to. We have it down. We make sure […]

The Odd Life of Timothy Green
What does Jennifer Garner, a boy growing from a garden and a room full of mommy bloggers all have in common? I found out last week when I was one of a few moms invited to watch The Odd Life of Timothy Green at The Moms event, featuring Jennifer Garner herself! I must admit I […]
Spiders Alive!
A few days ago, my daughters and I tentatively set off to check out the new Spider’s Alive Exhibit at the Museum of Natural History. We’re more lovers of puppies, than fans of eight-legged pests. We took a deep breath as we were greeted by a 20-foot inflatable spider at the front entrance of the […]
City Visit from Country Mouse Friends
My best friend from college and I have five children between us, aged 2-7. They are finally at the age where traveling with them is not a complete nightmare. We began an annual summer visit tradition last year where we would alternate our visits. Last summer, we spent a few days in their bucolic suburb […]
Staycation in the City
Recently, my husband and I decided that our schedules had been especially hectic. Looking ahead to a fully-planned summer, we were in dire need of some quality time, just the four of us. We didn’t want to deal with the stress (and cost) that goes along with last minute travel plans, so we decided to […]
A Simply Delicious Burger
Ever since our daughter was born, my husband and I have tried to integrate aspects of our pre-baby life into our new life. We quickly learned that things will never be the same (but in a good way)! Time is limited and there is a need for simplicity. As a dietitian and lover of all […]
Taking Great Portraits in The Big Apple
Spend a day or an hour in Central Park and just have fun. One of my favorite spots is Bow’s Bridge, which has appeared in numerous Woody Allen films and is one of the most beautiful spots in the Park. Find an area in the shade, as sunlight or speckled lighting from the trees will […]
Go Places: Momtrends Travel Tips
Like a linen suit, I do not travel well. I do not adjust easily to hotel rooms (except the Ritz-Carlton, and I am not kidding about that. I would not kid about that), other people’s homes, or new routines. And after our children became part of the picture, travel became a task not worth my […]
Martha Stewart Brings Craft to iPad
While I have tons to share about the exciting new app from Martha Stewart CraftStudio, I am going to begin at the end of this story. Because that’s where the custom sugar cookies from Eleni’s come in. And I can’t stop thinking about them. And what brought these cookies and me together is the Martha […]
Disney & Pixar ‘BRAVE’
Disney and Pixar’s ‘Brave’ opens in less than a week! It’s a movie that heavily involves family. When I saw Pixar post this picture on Father’s Day I thought the timing of the movie was perfect. What a fun picture to warm our hearts and remember the first pretend sword fight we had with our […]
