As I write this, Mothers’  Day (Mothers? Mother’s? I never know) is, thankfully, almost over. I hate Mothers’ Day. It’s not that I don’t think mothers matter or  that I don’t like being given breakfast in bed, or beautiful gifts (Missoni from Loehmann’s!), or handmade cards that really mean something.  I like all of that.

My name is Nancy, and I’m a fan of Giuliana and Bill on the Style Network. I’m not a big reality TV fan.  I’ve never seen an episode of Survivor or Big Brother.  I never watched the Bachelorette (though I did watch the first season of The Bachelor.). I do not know the names of [...]

Last year, we took a family vacation to South Africa.  My parents gave the kids camera.  I gave the kids Digital photography lessons with Jess Levey. These are some of the photos they took.   Pretty awesome, right? Now you can give your child a lesson with Jess, too.   KidzVuz.com is teaming up with J&R [...]

A couple of weeks ago when I was at SheStreams in Ft. Lauderdale, my husband took the kids surfing.  Seriously.  Two NY kids surfing.  I love it.  He shot it with my Sony Bloggie HD camera. (Thanks Clever Girls)  So small, yet works so well!  I mean, if he can take video with it, anyone [...]

I love Brazil.  On my vacation there years ago, I saw beautiful countryside, sophisticated cities, and rockin’ nightlife. I love Brazilians.  They are warm and loving.  They are awesome plastic surgeons, and they are singlehandedly reviving the NY Real Estate market. Some of my best friends are Brazilian. No, really. Bruno and Elizabeth.  I love [...]

My twins will be having their B’nai Mitzvah – that’s a Bar/Bat Mitzvah for two – just over a year from now.  But this being NY, and me being neurotic, I’ve already started planning. Oy.

Ok, Ok, so they’re pre-teens now.  But lately, I’ve been nostalgic for the baby days.  Maybe it’s seeing all those uber-delicious pics of Momma’s Gone City‘s new wee one.  But whatever. I don’t miss the no sleeping, or the endless laundry, or the inability to even pee without an audience.  But I still miss the [...]

This is what my husband does every morning for the kids.  They don’t always sit down to this lovely breakfast set-up — but he does it anyway.  Gotta love that.  That and the fact that he wakes me up every morning by bringing me a cup of coffee in bed!  So when he bugs me, [...]

It’s the Hannukah Season.  What?  You haven’t seen the decorations everywhere?  Heard the incessant Hannukah music on the radio? Shopped the Hannukah Sales? Yeah. Me neither. No one thinks about Hannukah.  No one talks about it or sings about it, or makes claymation shows about it. (although these Yeshiva U. guys did make a great [...]

Every year, my family sets aside one night of Hannukah for giving instead of getting.We give the kids some money to donate the the charity of their choice.  It isn’t much, but it’s at least a moment during the consumer consumption, frenzy that is the Holiday Season, when they have to think about what someone [...]
