hello vacation!

Wynwood Street Art Hola! It’s been a little while so let’s catch up. Back in March, I did something crazy… after much back and forth, I planned a short getaway to a beach destination with a girlfriend. It took some time trying to decide whether I should take my kids or not. This year has […]

spring refresh

At this time last week, I was waking up in a bed all to myself indulging in the tropical sounds of daybreak at my grandmother’s house in Santo Domingo. Who would have thought that taking on the task of picking her up to bring her back to the states would turn into some much needed […]

life’s a beach

Woman with her child in the water

Santo Domingo Country Club Is it too early for me to be craving summer weather? As I am planning my little Lola’s upcoming birthday and running around all day, I realize how tedious it is to get us out the door… between the layers, winter accessories, and the toddler bag (a crucial item that will […]

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 […]

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 […]
