Sunday Morning Swap: Little Swappies

One part of my work as a blogger that I truly enjoy is having the opportunity to try something new, or explore an otherwise unchartered experience.  Meaning, something that I would probably not do otherwise. And then of course, the best part is to share this info with YOU so we can all learn and […]

Getting the Kids into the City: A Suburban Parent’s Guide to Journeying Across The River

As a follow-up to many recent posts about taking on the big city with my little dude, I thought it might be helpful to share how exactly we make our treks happen. Alas, if you are looking for some tips on how to make it across the Hudson — with one child or more — […]

“Mommy I Want a Treat!” Times Square Edition

As you know by now, I’m doing some work with this cool new iPhone app called Mommy Nearest, and as a result am making weekly treks into Manhattan to explore and test things out to give the “mommy stamp of approval” on certain city hot spots. This week, I highlighted a few of my picks […]

Navigating City Life with the Mommy Nearest App {Sponsored}

As someone who considers herself a “mom in the mode” (much like you, right?!) I’m always on the hunt for something cool that will help me to navigate life with a young child.

Curious George: Let’s Get Curious Exhibit at Liberty Science Center {Ticket Giveaway Closed}

Visiting Liberty Science Center could not have come at a better time for us.  Between being off from pre-school for the past week and nursing a nasty cold that kept us cooped up, my 2 ½ year old was ready for some much-needed time to run, explore and play outside of the four walls of […]
