3 days after Willow was born

Brooklyn is a pretty amazing place: it has a small town feel with big city attractions.  You can walk to the playground and know someone along the way AND go to some of the coolest events in the world. Parents here can cloth diaper without a second glance. They can also riff on a new book, play or exhibition that’s “hot”.  There isn’t another city like it. And it’s home.

I made this site in the hopes that it would become a virtual “home” for Brooklyn parents.  A home where they could find news and services that they need as parents.

I started the blog in 2006 as a place for me and my friends to share information about services in Brooklyn. There were just 15 moms reading it at the beginning and then it grew….like our kids. As it did, I asked the best Brooklyn experts to write for the blog. These pediatricians, parent coaches, nutritionists and doulas share their knowledge with us.  I hope you find this site as a place to hang your sling. Look around and make yourself at home.
