Take the Family to the Theater: The Nutcracker & Shows for 2018

December 14, 2017

When I was little, I loved going to see shows with my mom. We saw some locally and as I got older, we’d occasionally see shows on Broadway too. We’ve taken the kids to the circus and a couple kids concerts but I had been waiting to take them to the Nutcracker until this year. They are in first and… Read More

A Festive Family Craft and Holiday Attire

December 9, 2017

The years seem to be flying by. I wish there was a way to pause time for a bit but no matter how hard we try to, it’s suddenly December and another year is coming to a close. The years pass too quickly and perhaps the month that flies the fastest is December. With children I find this to be… Read More

Downtown New York For Kids

December 1, 2017

I’m trying to make a point to visit New York City more often now that the girls are getting to an age that they can really appreciate all of the wonderful things the city has to offer. I’m also going to make a point to write more about NYC because I feel people often ask for recommendations and I scramble… Read More

Planning A Family Ski Trip

November 17, 2017

Last year we took our first family ski trip. Teaching the kids to ski is something my husband and I have always wanted to do. The girls were old enough for ski school and we decided to give it a try.

Christmas Events and Activities for Kids

November 2, 2017

I have always loved the Christmas season. I enjoy all of the hustle and bustle and excitement of the season. I enjoy the lights and trees, the songs and the parties. I know what you’re thinking: those are not the important parts of the season. All of the Christmas events and activities for kids and families should not be the… Read More

Family Friendly Places in New York: Hudson Valley and Catskills

September 28, 2017

Last week I took the kids to New York. We visit New York City all the time but have never ventured to New York State with the kids. When I was young, we used to visit the Catskill Game Farm and I have such fun memories of the area. The kids had a break from school and I decided to… Read More

Hershey Park Tips: Visiting with Toddlers and Young Children

August 30, 2017

We recently visited Hershey Park for the first time with our crew: 2 toddlers and 2 young children. I had not been to Hershey Park since I was a teenager and mainly remembered rollercoasters and chocolate. I wasn’t sure it was the place to go with 4 kids under 7 but a lot of our friends were visiting and having… Read More

Visiting Rome with a Baby

August 17, 2017

This time seven years ago I was planning a trip to Italy with a baby. Maggie was 6 months old and I told Tom I really wanted to show him Italy and bring our little babe along with us. It was actually a great age to bring a baby abroad because she was still small enough to be totally content… Read More
