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 [...]

Posted in Christmas, events, Hanukkah, life in nyc, tagged American Museum of Natural History, central park, Christmas, FAO Schwarz, MasterCard, metropolitan opera, new york city on November 28, 2011 | 5 Comments »
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. We’ve gone behind the scenes at the Metropolitan Opera (this actually fulfilled one of MY biggest wishes), been to the Origami Tree Lighting [...]

I don’t often do reviews here on Beccarama. I have plenty of opinions, but I’m not a technical reviewer who parses the ins and out of products – unless it’s something I really, really want to talk about. I have been a theater and movie geek since I was old enough to waddle into a [...]
140 Education Conference: My Session on Parental Engagement in the Schools
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 [...]
ManhattanHenge – It’s all about the grid
Posted in life in nyc, wordless wednesday, tagged manhattan, Manhattanhenge, new york city, photography on June 1, 2011 | 3 Comments »
The sun perfectly aligned with the east-west grid of Manhattan and created a seriously cool effect. My husband and I saw it first hand as we walked up Broadway during sunset on the Upper West Side. This photo came to my attention by way of the West Side Rag. It’s by Michael Huitt of Michael [...]

Sitting on the Amtrak train heading down to DC I’m thinking about what lies ahead at the Mom Congress on Education and Learning. Sponsored by Parenting Magazine and Georgetown University, the Mom Congress consists of one chosen representative from each state and DC. I was fortunate enough to be picked to be the New York [...]

This is the question an educator asked me yesterday. A private school educator in New York City. We were among over 200 people invited to Barry Diller’s IAC headquarters in Chelsea to have lunch and listen to the presentation for a brand new private school in Manhattan called Avenues The World Schools. I wasn’t invited [...]
