Here they are: Mommy Poppins (great listings for Fleet Week), NYC Kids Arts, (focuses mainly on museums and cultural events) TimeOut NY Kids (have a ton here) and I always check out gocitykids for their extensive listings.

A Child Grows Events

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 [...]

Just a quick addition to Events. This came in from reader Monica- thanks Monica!
(While there don’t forget to check out my favs on Vanderbilt Ave: Old Brooklyn Creamery, Corduroy Kids Store and then end up at Prospect Park).
Just wanted to let you know about the fun street event on Vanderbilt Ave every Sunday in June. [...]

I think (humbly) that this is the most extensive and far-reaching Event Picks I have ever done. Maybe it was last night’s marathon “The Bachelor” espisode that motivated me. I even added quite a few new events to my Google calendar- so keep checking it daily. Meanwhile, here are the highlights: a reminder to visit [...]

A Child Grows Picks Today and All Week!
by Karen on 6/03/09 | 0 Comment(s)
In our home we are getting ready to sell everything we have at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene, so there won’t be much time to do many activities this weekend. (However, please come by and chill with us). But, for the rest of you who can get out- my picks are [...]

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 [...]
Ticket Discount for DanceAfrica
by Karen on 5/20/09 | 0 Comment(s)
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 [...]
Yoga and Pilates and Therapy In Brooklyn: NY FitMama
by Karen on 5/17/09 | 5 Comment(s)
I went to NYFitMama today (one of my Event Picks) and was super impressed. Honestly, it was one of the highest quality, most genuine events I have attended in the last 3 years in parenting. The attending moms could do: yoga, cardio, pilates, swing class and hear informative panel discussions and meet quality vendors. There [...]

I think if there is one thing you might want to do with your mom friends this month, may I suggest Thursday evenings’ “Edgy Mothers Reading”? The authors are well-known, it is inexpensive, and will probably give you some laughs and camraderie. This weekend, we are spring cleaning, but that doesn’t mean I am [...]

So, it is Mother’s Day weekend. What does that mean? In our home, it means I get breakfast in bed and to decide what I (or we) do all day. I have chosen to go to the Affordable Art Fair for the morning with everyone. I can’t wait to see some art with my hubbie [...]

The benefit of putting this Picks list together every week is that I get a sneak peek at upcoming events and it gets me thinking about what we are going to do this weekend (other than lying around in PJs- which is always my favorite). This weekend, I plan on seeing Nursery University, a [...]

Sorry to those of you who subscribe. Yesterday, you got some of the below event listings in your email. I am having technical difficulties- that is technical difficulty in keeping dates. I thought yesterday was today. I think I am overly anxious about Tax Day this year. At any rate, there are so [...]

So, I made the big mistake of not finishing this Pick List until after my new MOMS night out last night. I was in a mom’s group 2 years ago when I had Birch and those women have become some of my best friends. But, now that I have Willow, she needs playmates of her [...]

Catherine Thomas, you won! (Wish I could say that in Elmo’s high pitched voice.)
Choose your day and time from February 5-16. The event is at the WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden. And, I’m sorry if you didn’t win. Loved hearing what shows your kids are into! (And Sally, I love that you have just [...]
