The CEA Line Shows hit NYC last week and this year mom bloggers had their own day at the show sponsored by Techlicious. It seemed like the whole city was taken over by CE Week with events every night and meetings every day. But the highlight for me was speaking on a panel with 2 [...]

I love this list of the Top 10 Fiction and Non-Fiction books from the week I was born. Courtesy of BibliOz.com. Many of these were on my parents’ bookshelf growing up, which you can read all about in my post The Serendipty of My Family’s Library.

I’ve been thinking a lot this week about girls – the way they socialize, the way they learn, the way they are taught and the way they are perceived. We’ve been looking at sleep-away camps for my daughters over the last couple of months and the one thing both of them requested is an all [...]

I just got back from Palo Alto and a whirlwind two days spent at the outrageously gorgeous Four Seasons Palo Alto and the Yahoo! Sunnyvale Campus for the Yahoo! Motherboard Summit. For the past few months I have been a part of the Yahoo! Motherboard, a group of mombloggers who blog monthly about a specific [...]

Over on NYCmoms today I’m talking about whether or not a blog is the place to get even or at least get angry at people in my life. Personally I think I’m too afraid of offending people I know than actually being honest when it comes to issues with family and friends, and it turns [...]

What will your children say about you when you die? What would you want them to know? These are a couple of the questions swirling around my brain since I recently finished reading If You Knew Suzy, A Mother, A Daughter, A Reporter’s Notebook, a memoir by Katherine Rosman, a journalist at the Wall Street [...]
My Daughters are Poets (and now everyone knows it)
Posted in books, education, kids, life in nyc, tagged children's books, nyc public schools, parenting, poetry, twins on April 30, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I don’t usually publicly brag about my daughters but I am making an exception for this. Thursday, April 29th was Poem in Your Pocket Day in NYC. All the children in my daughters’ school carried poems in their pockets and read them aloud to each other, to teachers, to administrators and to whomever would listen. [...]

“Mommy, what happens if you’re pregnant and you don’t want to keep the baby?” This is the question my seven year-old daughter asked me first thing on a Monday morning a few weeks ago. It took me a minute to rouse my brain and get my head around what she was asking while the sun [...]

The first time I held a Kindle in my hand I almost dropped it. I have small hands and keeping the Kindle in its little cover required some maneuvering that I am not used to while reading. I finally figured out the most comfortable way to hold the thing and read my way through Lorrie [...]
The Accidental Book Burning Mom
Posted in books, kids, nyc moms post, tagged anxiety, Bad Case of Stripes, children's books, David Shannon, panic attack, phobias on April 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Let me start out by saying I LOVE BOOKS. I was the kind of kid who woke up on Saturday morning and didn’t emerge from my bedroom until the late afternoon because I was engrossed in Jane Austen or Charles Dickens. My family made pilgrimages from Brooklyn to Manhattan to go to the huge Barnes [...]
