Hey, New York: Are you ready for an Emergency?

Jan 27 Posted by nancyjrab Leave a Comment

So here's the thing about living in Manhattan: It's culture filled and exciting.  It has great shopping and even better food.  It's never boring, it sometimes smells. It's where my family has lived since the late 19th century.  And it's an island, which means that if there's an emergency here, well, Continue Reading

Giveaway: Pillow Pet and Pillow Pet DS Game

Nov 18 Posted by nancyjrab

Everybody loves Pillow Pets.  They're pillows, they're stuffed animals.  They are, it seems, universally loved.

Book Giveaway: See Mom Run

Jan 25 Posted by nancyjrab

Have you ever wondered what would happen if two hyphenated last namers got married?  Like, let's say Harrison VonHarrison-Lundquist married Muffy Worcester-Wolfe. (All names are completely fabricated. If anyone out there has either of those names, I'm sorry...in so many ways.)  Would they name their Continue Reading
