Dec 4 Posted by nancyjrab 3 Comments

The Sunday before Thanksgiving, KidzVuz hosted our fifth event -- but by far our biggest one!  It was FashionTweenStas: Get your Girl On.  100 tween girls (yes, I am insane!) and their moms (less insane) in NYC  for a fashionable, fabulous, and fun day filled with all kind of great stuff for the Continue Reading

Why You Need to Talk to Your Tweens About Internet Porn

Sep 27 Posted by nancyjrab 8 Comments

Last week, I wrote about how I got to teach my daughter a lesson about real life and the online world when she got into a bit of virtual trouble. This week, I'm writing about acting pre-emptively. Because, well, watch this: The internet is for porn The internet is for porn, Why you think the net Continue Reading

Mothers’ Day: Thank God it’s Over

May 14 Posted by nancyjrab 15 Comments

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 Continue Reading

Giuliana and Bill: A Not So Guilty Pleasure

May 8 Posted by nancyjrab 2 Comments

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 any of the Real Continue Reading

KidzVuz Family Photo Day at J and R jr

Apr 12 Posted by nancyjrab Leave a Comment

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 Continue Reading

Wordless Wednesday: Hanging 10

Apr 11 Posted by nancyjrab 4 Comments

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 can! (Sorry Continue Reading

Why I’ll Never Get a Brazilian Bikini Wax

Mar 23 Posted by nancyjrab 6 Comments

In Brazil, this counts as a one-piece

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 Continue Reading

Bar Mitzvah Blues

Mar 7 Posted by nancyjrab 46 Comments

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. Continue Reading

Wordless Wednesday: Baby Days

Feb 2 Posted by nancyjrab 3 Comments

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 Continue Reading

Wordless Wednesday: Weekday Mornings

Jan 25 Posted by nancyjrab 3 Comments

Everyday breakfast

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, I just think of: weekday Continue Reading
