Tucked back on the east side of Central Park near the Carousel is an adorable little amusement park. With temps climbing into the 90s later in the week we decided to venture over on our only cool day and give it a whirl. It was the perfect park for my kids. Any older and there…
I have been looking forward to walking across the Brooklyn Bridge for a long time. And it did not disappoint. But first…..we decided to make a day of it and go explore some other Brooklyn hot spots. First up was Pier 6 playground. This was an impressive place! There were dedicated areas for slides, swings,…
In case you haven’t noticed, these posts aren’t necessarily in chronological order. Once on TV I saw these cool little remote control sailboats at Central Park. I’ve been dying to do them since. They day was kinda hot, so we decided to seek shelter in the park, and give the sailboats a try. They were…
As a kid, Rusty was a HUGE Mets fan. He was heartbroken to find that his idol, Darryl Strawberry, was less than kind to his wife. So, it was a really fun and special experience to get to go with his Dad to City Field (Formerly Shea Stadium) and watch the Mets in action. Unfortunately,…
Sharon and Alan came for a visit and we had such a wonderful time. The first day they were here was filled with fun and adventure. The girls got to have a wonderful day out at the American Girl Doll Store, while the boys finally got to visit the Nintendo and Lego Store. Grandpa Banks…

There are story times, both outside and inside, there are crafts, plays, yoga, dancing, fairs and concerts. We decided to give the NYC kid music scene a try. We went down to Madison…
We finally left the comfort of Central Park and headed west to explore Riverside Park. We are sandwiched right in the middle of these two amazing parks. Riverside is set right on the Hudson River, and I LOVE to run along the Hudson River trail. We took the kids walking in the park and discovered…
Here are some pics of our humble abode 🙂 We love the open kitchen/living room, and the outdoor space—it’s so much fun. We do not love the very steep stairs (Rusty and Blake took a tumble today), and the tiny little closet of a master bath. But all in all, it is so great!
Kids today certainly live in a different kind of world. They have only ever known a world where iphones, ipads, and a myriad of other technology exist. They are not in awe or amazement over these things. I actually think it is hard to awe them in general. We were hanging out on 5th avenue,…
When I saw this production of Pinkalicious was playing at the Manhattan Movement and Arts center over by the Lincoln center, I knew I had to take my kids. They are all big Pinkalicious fans. (And Purplelicious, and Goldilocious, and Silverlicious). They play was one hour, and it was adorable. All 3 kids were enthralled. …
