When I head to the grocery store I have a few lists – my mental list, my husband’s written down list of things he’s noticed we need, and lastly my subconscious list that gets triggered as I walk the aisles (or depending on how hungry and/or PMS I am the evil list that somehow throws [...]

Is A Blog the Sweetest Form of Revenge?
Posted in books, nyc moms post, technology, tagged anger, blogging, eugene o'neill, facebook, friends, nycmoms, privacy, revenge, truman capote, writing on May 31, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
NYC Moms: The Seven-Year Redecorating Itch
Posted in life in nyc, nyc moms post, tagged apartment living, design, nate berkus, nyc, oprah, real estate, renovation on April 28, 2010 | 1 Comment »
When we moved into our apartment seven and half years ago it was in “estate condition.” This is New York Real Estate lingo for absolute disaster. It was a sponsor apartment meaning even though the building had gone Co-Op in the 1980s some tenants remained renters and the landlord just waited until they died or [...]
My Seven-Year Old Does Not Need a Bra, Thank You Very Much

My daughters hate labels. I don’t mean they hate the “name” brands, I mean they actually hate the fabric labels inside of clothes. They tend to itch and rub. They also hate seams, appliqués and embroidery that can be felt on the inside. In other words, I have to touch everything I buy for them [...]
First Sign of Spring – Vomit!

The trees are budding, the robins are returning and the hats and gloves have come off. But, that is not how I know it’s spring. How do I know the weather has turned for the better? I spent all day Sunday throwing up! When I picked up my daughters from school two days ago a [...]
I am one of THOSE PTA moms – and Proud of It!
Posted in life in nyc, nyc moms post, politics, Y! Motherboard, tagged charity, Education, nyc public schools, parenting, PTA, raising twins on March 2, 2010 | 16 Comments »
In the last few months I’ve read several blog posts railing against the PTA moms at various schools. The complaints are usually the same – they’re overbearing and pushy, busy bodies trying to vie for the principal or teacher’s attention, do-gooders who get off on making the rest of the parents feel bad. Yeah, yeah. [...]
You Call This a Playdate?
Posted in life in nyc, nyc moms post, technology, tagged nycmomsblog, playdates, raising twins, technology, Wii on February 14, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Here’s the thing about the word playdate, sometimes the “play” part goes well, and sometimes, well, it just feels like a date. An awkward, stressful, when-will-this-afternoon end date. In the toddler years it’s usually a double date with the stranger mom or nanny in tow and then you have to make conversation, which in New [...]
Flying the (Not) Family-Friendly Skies

Of all the ways your life changes when you have kids none is more drastic than the way you travel. Gone are the days of a small carry-on with a book, an ipod and some trashy magazines. Suddenly your carry on is like Mary Poppins carpet bag – full of snacks (both salty and sweet), [...]
Can a Television Be a Member of the Family?
Posted in nyc moms post, tagged family, My Fair Lady, old movies, plasma TV, Star Wars, Television, Wii on December 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
For the last five years my husband and I have researched TVs. Our steadfast and true 27″ picture tube set sat like a big ol’ lazy uncle on it’s stand and delivered perfectly fine viewing as far as we were concerned. But, we had the itch. The flat screen bigger-than-your-kitchen-table TV itch. One by [...]
