We’ve had such a run unseasonably warm weather here in New York, it’s kind of hard to complain, even now that it’s gotten cold. But I’m not going to let that stop me.

Duane Reade: The Times Square of NY Stores
Posted in Humor, Shopping, tagged #CBias, #duanereade, American Eagle Outfitters, Duane Reade, New York, New York City, Robin Byrd, Sephora, Times Square, Walgreen on December 16, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Recently, I went shopping at Duane Reade, the New York convenience store, and it made me think of Times Square. If you grew up in New York, or if you’ve been here more than 20 years, or if you’ve seen any Scorcese movie made in the 1970′s, then you remember when Times Square was seedy. [...]
From Qualcomm to Lands End: A Day in the Life of a NYC Mom Blogger: Part 2
Posted in Shopping, Tech, Uncategorized, tagged Clothing, Home and Garden, Lands, Lands End, Lands End Canvas, Lands End Riding Boots, Mom Trends, Qualcomm, Shopping, Spanx on November 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, dear reader, I left off my tale of blogger-woe at the point at which I had vanquished my underwhelming-techie self over at Qualcomm, only to find myself oversized for Lands End. A breif recap: I went to a Qualcomm super techie press conference. I am not even a sub-super techie. But I figured it [...]
BJ’s: The Loehmann’s of Grocery Shopping
Posted in Food, Shopping, tagged BJ's, discount shopping in NY on November 23, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Never pay retail. That’s the mantra of many a woman who grew up in New York. For us, (OK, for mostly Jewish women of a certain age) Loehmann‘s was the only place to shop. There, in the racks and racks of schmattas lay untold designer treasures — at 50-75% off retail. It was like Mecca [...]

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 [...]
Avon Reversalist: Product Review
Posted in Aging, Beauty, Reviews, Shopping, Skin Care, tagged Avon Reversalist, dark circles, Skin Care on April 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
So it’s no secret that I’m none too thrilled with the state of my skin. But neither am I willing to spend a bazillion dollars on creams and lotions for it. I guess the bottom line is, I just don’t believe that it makes all that much of a difference which product you use – [...]
PokeMon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Finally, A DS game a mother can love!
Posted in Family, Reviews, Shopping, tagged DS, Pokemon HeartGold, Pokewalker, SilverSoul on March 8, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Let’s face it. Most mothers out there have a love/hate thing going on with the handheld gaming systems our kids play with. One the one hand, they keep them busy on long car rides, while waiting at the doctor’s office, during your book club meeting. On the other hand, well, they’re handheld gaming systems! Your [...]
End the Bad Weather Blues with an Endless Ocean Giveaway
Posted in giveaway, Shopping, tagged Endless Ocean, giveaway, sucky weather, Wii on February 25, 2010 | 142 Comments »
I am looking out my window right now and perhaps the only word that comes to mind is “YUCK!” Or something that rhymes with yuck, that I won’t type, this being a family-centered site and all. But seriously — it’s not even snowing. It’s SLUSHING. And I don’t care if that’s a word or not. [...]
