From Qualcomm to Lands End: A Day in the Life of a NYC Mom Blogger: Part 2

Posted in Shopping, Tech, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , 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.

Last week I went to see Primary Stages Motherhood Out Loud, which opens today at the 59E59 theatre here in NYC.

Mechatar Interactive CleverRobot: Review and Giveaway

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , on September 25, 2011 | 11 Comments »

It is a well documented fact that no one over the age of 8 is capable of learning the trading card games Pokemon, Yugioh, or any of the other ones either. It must be a biological imperative: if you are not a kid – especially a boy – between the ages of 7 and 12, [...]

Yes, it’s taken me this long to recover from the ginormous event that was Sweet Suite 11 at BlogHer, the party KidzVuz and The Big Toy Book hosted at The Hard Rock hotel. We had swag.  We had wine. We had cupcakes.  We had line of women waiting to get in. And I’m finally (finally!) [...]

Posted in Theater, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on August 19, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

On average, I’d say my husband and I go to the theatre about 15 times a year — maybe even a bit more. Our kids?  Not so much.  A lot of the time, New York productions skew either too old (inappropriate) or too young (can you help the Princess find her way home? Clap three [...]

Virtually Incomprehensible
