Every year we go on a huge family vacation with my husband’s entire family. At this point there are 16 of us, in 3 different states on opposite ends of the country all trying to coordinate and agree on a common meeting point. The only non-negotiable sticking point for my sun worshipping in-laws is that [...]

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), [...]
Going Behind the Gold Curtain at the Metropolitan Opera House (and a chance to win tickets to Hansel and Gretel!)
Posted in life in nyc, tagged children's theater, family travel, giveaway, metropolitan opera, new york city, theater, tickets on December 10, 2009 | 4 Comments »
This past Tuesday my two daughters and I went to the Metropolitan Opera House Tree Lighting and then on a special backstage tour of the theater. Growing up in New York City some of my most vivid and cherished memories of New York theater are linked to that incredibly beautiful theater. I still remember the [...]
When Having Twins Finally Pays Dividends
Posted in Italy, life in nyc, Travel, tagged family travel, identical twins, raising twins, twin pregnancy on August 10, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Both of my daughters did not show up on my first sonogram. For 8 weeks I thought I was having a normal singleton pregnancy with all of the usual excitement and anticipation a first pregnancy brings. My husband missed that first sonogram so to be nice my doctor did another one at my next appointment. [...]
Days 29 and 30 – Packing Up is Hard to Do
Posted in Italy, Travel, tagged etruscan, family travel, Italy, necropolis, tarquinia on August 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Our last days in Italy were a combination of sight seeing and relaxation. We decided to fit in one last day trip, this time close by in Tarquinia. There is a wonderful small museum dedicated to the Etruscan civilization and then a necropolis with tombs to explore outside of the historical town. We drove to [...]

With only a couple of days left we realized that there are still some restaurants that the owner’s of our villa recommended. I don’t know if I mentioned the amazing book that they left us filled with notes on towns worth visiting, cards from the best restaurants all over, maps of cities and parking tips [...]
Days 26 and 27 – Tuscania Do We Really Have to Go Home?
Posted in Italy, Travel, tagged family travel, Italy, panna cotta, pizza, summer, Tuscania on July 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The last couple of days have been a paradigm of summer laziness. We’ve done nothing but hang out at the pool, eat, drink, read and for the girls, paint in the garden. This is it, our final week in Italy and so we seem to living it as low key as possible. Plus, the girls [...]

Our last day in Paris was just as chock full as the first three. We had to check out our apartment early because the next family was arriving by 10. Actually, they arrived while we were still there, and poor them we made them wait outside until we were ready and the owner had arrived. [...]
Day 23 – Paris (Bread, Chocolate and The Ferris Wheel)

Our first full day in Paris was an experiment in family travel – specifically how to squeeze in what the adults want to do yet placate the kids. We hit a pretty good balance. We started out on the Metro with our 3-day passes and headed for the Louvre. Unfortunately the weather was unseasonably cool [...]
