Posted in education, tagged DOE, New York, new york city, New York City Public Schools, Parent-Teacher Association, PTA on March 21, 2012 | 7 Comments »
Last week the New York Times published an article about parent fundraising in NYC schools where gentrification has taken hold and the tensions over who can or cannot give, who decides how much to ask for and what kind of tension this creates at a school. It’s no surprise to those of us entrenched in [...]

The Yule Log – An NYC Wordless Wednesday Fireplace
Posted in Christmas, holidays, life in nyc, tagged Christmas, fake fireplace, new york city, Yule log on December 14, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Nothing says holidays in NYC like the Yule Log. Because who builds a fire in an NYC apartment? If you grew up in the 70′s and 80′s in NYC the answer was WPIX (channel 11). Now it’s available on demand on TWC channel 1006 – in HD. So much better than hauling wood – and [...]

It goes without saying that I love raising my kids in NYC. One of things I love the most is the incredible opportunities that are available to us just by living here.

Posted in conferences, education, Speaking Engagements, tagged #140Edu, 92nd St. Y, Chris Lehmann, Education, Jeff Pulver, new york city, PTA on August 17, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Two weeks ago I spoke at the #140 Edu conference on meaningful parent engagement in the schools. I had never been to a #140 conference and now I’m a huge fan both of the conference and of Jeff Pulver, the organizer, ring leader and all around fantastic guy behind the conferences. Every presenter has a [...]
Are NYC Parents Crazy?
Posted in life in nyc, parenting, tagged blogher, chelsea piers, new york city, raising kids in the city, Times Square, upper west side on August 9, 2011 | 6 Comments »
This is a post I wrote a year ago for the Westside Independent, but after meeting so many women this weekend at BlogHer who asked me how I could raise my kids in NYC I thought I’d repost it here on Beccarama for a whole new audience. Are city parents crazy? This is the question [...]
