the power of after-school activities: expanding your child’s horizons

BY Patricia Sarmiento After-school activities, such as fun enrichment programs, are an important part of a child’s development. They can provide opportunities for children to explore new interests, develop skills, and make friends. With so many options available, it can be difficult to decide which activities are best for your child. Here are some great […]

here’s to the mom tribe

Woman with 2 kids near a bridge

The other night, I went on a Wegman’s run and those close to me know that I do enjoy an hour or two walking the aisles pondering over snack choices and gluten-free items to try… and don’t get me started on the assortment of cheeses. One thing I don’t enjoy though is squeezing this therapeutic […]

and off we go!

I know I’ve been disconnected for far too long and for that I sincerely apologize… I wouldn’t want for you to think I no longer wish to share our little adventures with you. Between an extended winter vacation to Dominican Republic, birthdays and a Valentines getaway, it seems I can’t seem to catch my breath, […]

mini New Yorker

If you are up for some NYC fun that’s toddler approved, I cannot urge you enough to catch the “NYC + Me: A Little Bite of the Big Apple” at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan before it comes to a close on January 18.  We were able to check it out last month and it […]

new year, new adventures

Happy New Year to all! I know it’s been a little while since I last posted but, I totally got lost with the holiday craze… perdon! 2016 is here! I encourage you all to reflect on the great memories you’ve created this past year and focus on the what was instead of the what was […]

a little bit of theater in the park

Who would have thought that amidst the bustle of the city, nestled among the fall foliage, sat a cozy little marionette cottage. We took advantage of the spring-like weather and indulged in a little holiday fun. The 3 Bears Holiday Bash at the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater was the perfect theater introduction for my 21-month-old. […]

it’s that time of year

A little bit ago I touched on the idea of tradition and with Christmas at our heels, there’s really no escaping this notion… our annual customs around this time are the true essence of what the holiday truly signifies. I think back to my holiday childhood memories, to those moments that made it memorable and […]

next stop Sweden

Although I’ve been on a few traveling adventures with my little Lola, we don’t always take flight to see new things or learn about another culture. Sometimes, it just takes a few tolls and some car mileage. Since the holiday season is upon us and Ikea doesn’t seem to disappoint with reasonable homewares to freshen […]

giving thanks

If you can believe it, Thanksgiving has come and gone. Even though I don’t only think about my blessings during the holiday, it is certainly a time of reflection. I feel that when you have a child you contemplate on the traditions you want to start, continue or even skip… you think about what might […]

keeping it farm fresh

With the Thanksgiving holiday just a few days away, I decided it would be nice to spend the morning at a supermarket and learn a little bit about the ingredients that will go into Thursday’s special meal. I thought this would be a great way to make food-shopping fun and, at the same time, get […]
