I got a super surprising Google alert today that I thought was a mistake. There was my Twitter handle – @beccasara – and there was “New York Times” next to it. So of course I had to click on over. And my Harry Potter tweet was featured in the #trendingNYC column in the City Room [...]

One of my fears as a mom is that as winter approaches my daughters will spend more and more time indoors being sedentary with unspent energy making all of us a little nuts. So, I love Wii games that get my girls moving. Just Dance Kids is one of those games. First of all my [...]

So, I’m not a big “reviewer” per se. Opinions? Sure I’ve got a ton of them, but I’m not a sit down and review a product kind of girl. But sometimes a fellow fabulous momblogger and PR maven extraordinaire like Beth Feldman will invite me to an event with my kids like this one for [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Sick Kid Equals Way Too Much Screen Time
Posted in life in nyc, tagged american Idol, babe, club penguin, family entertainment, HBO, mono, screen time, sick kids, tech, Wii on January 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
When I was eleven I came down with mono. I was staying in Michigan with my grandmother in August while my parents took their first ever trip to England. After endless days of blood tests and doctor visits with no definitive answers a secondary infection allowed them to make the diagnosis and order me quarantined [...]
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 [...]
Wii Are Family

Yes we are the last people on the planet to get a Wii. I resisted not because I was afraid that my 7-year-old daughters would be hooked and play video games at the expense of their insane imaginations. No, I resisted because I am a recovering addict. I have fallen down the deep dark hole [...]
