Ok, so maybe that’s a slight exaggeration. But every year I swear I am not going to have a big party for my girls. I’m not going to knock myself out and spend a ridiculous amount time planning and executing a custom party. And then with four days to go I find myself schlepping down [...]

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. [...]

One of the best things about being a mom is your chance to reread your favorite childhood books and play with toys both old and new. But, one of the best things about being a mom blogger is getting to go the Toy Fair! Last week the Toy Fair hit New York at the Javits [...]

Three months ago while I was in the middle of preparing dinner my husband called from work and told me that he had been laid off. You’d think in this economy I wouldn’t have been surprised, but the mass lay offs at his company had come in January and he had survived, so come April, [...]

I am 37 years old. I have been going to the gynecologist for about 20 years. During that time I graduated from high school and college, started a career, got married, gave birth to twins, tried many different forms of birth control and brands of birth control pills, and changed doctors 4 times. One thing [...]
The Never-Ending Birthday

When did my daughters’ birthday become a weeklong celebration? I always felt that the one break parents of twins get is that the birthday can be a joint affair. Especially when you have same sex twins, or in my case identical twins which makes it even easier. But somehow this birthday thing has morphed into [...]
Wishing for a Homemade Halloween

There are many different forms of maternal guilt. The too much TV, processed food guilt. The formula vs. breastfeeding guilt. The not enough quality time in the day guilt. I don’t have any of that. In general I find guilt to be a waste of time emotion. But, then Halloween comes around and I am [...]

I would like to think that if Dante wrote The Inferno today there would be a special circle of hell just for Kindergarten admissions in NYC. And within that level there would be a VIP room for those of us with twins. When I explain the process to friends and family living outside of NYC [...]
