Um..so I’m a day late and about 10 posts behind (including this Hanukkah post). I left for vacation on Sunday and am feeling very happy to have a break from the blog, facebook, twitter and well- everything. I have found time to eat a bag of pretzels, drink a pot of tea and rip through [...]

One of my friends told me that my lists of “holiday to dos” was making her panic. I know what she means! There are so many wonderful events to attend and we can’t fit them all in. So, where do you start? How about 1 visit to Santa, 1 holiday performance, 1 theater performance, 1 [...]

First of all, Happy Father’s Day to all the daddies out there. I hope you do something wonderful to celebrate your day. Papa Tree has decided he wants the whole day off (copycat!). I loved my Mother’s Day off and it totally revitalized me after lying in bed all day, reading. However, I would hate [...]

A Child Grows Event Picks

This weekend has some of the most unusual events that are easy on the wallet. There are the regular flea markets in Fort Greene, Williamsburg and DUMBO, but some cool additions for the weekend are a flea market dedicated just to bikes and a “score” party which is a curated free boutique. I love the [...]
Brooklyn Botanic Gardens Party- Don’t Miss it!
by Karen on 5/27/09 | 0 Comment(s)
I have been toying with putting this event up for the last few weeks. The reason I didn’t put it up initially was because I try and only post events that are $40 or less for a ticket. Today, I change my policy. I LOVE BBG and I just have to make an exception. Though [...]

DanceAfrica has been a tradition at BAM. I went a couple of years ago by myself- and managed to rock out all by my lonely. At the end of the production, people were dancing in the aisles. It felt like a real celebration. This year DanceAfrica has been selected as a TimeOut New York Kids [...]

The attending moms could do: yoga, cardio, pilates, swing class and hear informative panel discussions and meet quality vendors. There [...]
