So many people who live in NY say they do it to be near all of the culture and the arts. But so many of those same people never venture further than their TV set for entertainment or – ahem – culture. Not me. We have subscriptions to several different theatres: The Vineyard Theatre, The [...]

Wii Party: It really is one
Posted in Reviews, Tech, tagged David Tuterra, nintendo, Wii games for family, Wii Party review on November 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
A few weeks ago I went to a Holiday event sponsored by Nintendo. Aside from being held in the single most spectacular party space I’ve ever been in, (632 on Hudson) the event was terrific because it really did feel like a big party. There was food and drink, decorations, and people spread throughout the [...]
When Bad Shows Happen to Good People: Promises, Promises
Posted in Reviews, Theater, tagged Broadway Show, Kristen Chenoweth, Promises, Sean Hayes, Tony Goldwyn on November 18, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I just went to see Sean Hayes and Kristen Chenoweth in Promises Promises on Broadway. Sean Hayes was charming, appealing, and thoroughly believable as a straight leading man. Kristen Chenoweth is always a star. The sets, by Scott Pask, were smart and snappy, the lighting was beautiful. And the show was terribly, painfully, BAD. Not [...]
Batman and the Owls of Ga’Hoole take on Kirby and Nancy Drew
Posted in Family, Kids, Reviews, tagged Batman: Brave and the Bold Videogame, Kirby's epic yarn review, Legend of the Guardian for Wii, Nancy Drew wii review on September 16, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Imagine if there was a battle between Batman, (the caped crusader) and Nancy Drew, (the girl detective) Who would win? Depends on what the fight was. If they were vying on a brawn-only basis, Batman. Brains? Nancy Drew. But if you asked my ten year old twins who would win – then you’d have a [...]
Because of BlogHer, I Feel Obligated to do Housework
Posted in Reviews, tagged BlogHer 2010, LG Kompressor Vacuum, LG vacuum review, microfiber cleaning cloths, Mouthy Housewives, Quickie on September 13, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I have always hated housework. I know what you’re thinking….doesn’t everyone? But no, not everyone does. Some people feel a sense of accomplishment. Some people get into the Zen of it. Me? I just plain hate it. Which is why I am SO bummed out, that because of Blogher, I’m feeling OBLIGATED to vacuum and [...]
Seeing a Broadway Show: Hair and Hygiene Tips for the Uninitiated
Posted in Humor, Laughs, Rants, Reviews, Travel, tagged Bernadette Peters, Broadway Show etiquette, Night Music on Broadway, what to do at a Broadway show on August 16, 2010 | 62 Comments »
A few weeks ago my fellow blogger and Blogging Angel, Rebecca Levey from Beccarama.com, took me to see A Little Night Music on Broadway. Catherine Zeta Jones starred in the cast of this revival when it opened. And after seeing her inexplicably Tony winning, bird-trapped-in-a-plastic-bag body language performance of Send in the Clowns on the [...]
BlogHer10: Pros and Cons
Posted in Reviews, Working Mom, Writing, tagged Avery office products, blogher, foxy blunt, Got Milk, oscillococcinum on August 9, 2010 | 11 Comments »
The swag is put away (mostly), the business cards gone through (totally), the laryngitis fading (sorry, hubby, I can talk endlessly again). Yes, it was my first year at Blogher, and now it’s time for a little post mortem. Just how was it? I went into BlogHer thinking that how I felt about BlogHer would [...]
Review(ish): Sandlot Sluggers
Posted in Exercise, Family, Reviews, tagged Atari, Backyard Sports Sandlot Sluggers, DSi on June 30, 2010 | 1 Comment »
It’s time for true confessions: 1. I don’t like chocolate. Perhaps that makes me weird. I don’t care. 2. I recently went to a benefit for a local high school only because Tony Dovolani from Dancing with the Stars was hosting. 3. When I get Wii and DSi games to review….I give them to my [...]

So, this weekend, I went to the SVMOMS/BitMoms brand/blogger roundtable/schmooze fest. (OK, no more slashes for this entire post, I promise.) I had a great time re-connecting with and/or (oops! slash alert!) meeting some very cool blogging moms, like CultureMom, Marinka, Linsey Krolick (finally!) and Mastermind Mommy I also got to meet a lot of [...]
Freebie for Meebie: Dermalogica NYC
Posted in Aging, Beauty, Reviews, Shopping, Skin Care, tagged Dermatologica Store Soho, Mini Facial on May 5, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I have often been annoyed at the fact that while I spend a fair amount of time writing this blog, I earn a whole lotta nothing for doing so. My friend from Beccarama told me that her husband says that there’s no way a whole bunch of men would be writing all of this stuff [...]
