Total City Girl
Yesterday was the event I mentioned last week that I would be participating in – Riverdale Festival of the Arts. It turned out to be a great community event! Seems like all of Riverdale was out that day. I had a table set up showcasing my portrait photography. Big thanks go out to Tracy from [...]
Here in Riverdale, it’s a big deal when a new restaurant opens. For months we were seeing the “Coming Soon” signs in great anticipation. Yo Burger has been open now for a while but it’s still new enough that people are still asking “Have you tried Yo Burger yet? The girls and I had our [...]
Last week the girls were off for Spring Break. It was a week that started with a daily question – “Mom, what are we doing today?” It was one activity after another – Passover, Easter, Bronx Zoo, Botanical Gardens, until finally we hit the city! My kind of activity! My friend Karen wanted us to [...]
Yesterday I mentioned I would tell you about a fun family activity involving sea creatures. Yep – the NY Aquarium! Whenever the weekend approaches, panic sets in for the dreaded “what are we doing this weekend” squeal coming from my 2 girls. They would love to go to playgrounds or Dylan’s Candy Bar every weekend [...]
Last week when the girls were off from school, we ventured out to the New York Aquarium in Brooklyn. Part of that adventure included a loooong subway ride. The girls don’t ride the subway very often so when they do, they get a little nutty. It always starts off nice and innocent but as soon [...]
One of my favorite things to do every holiday is to visit the holiday markets set up around the city. Artists from all over come to sell their creations. You can find a variety of items from jewelry, clothes, ornaments, and other unique gift items. This year we hit up 2 of them. Part of [...]
I’m so excited for this time of year with Halloween and Thanksgiving just around the corner. Two of my favorite holidays back to back. This past weekend we started to get in the Halloween spirit by breaking out our Halloween decorations. I let the girls have free reign on the decorations – clumps [...]
Yesterday I told you about the field trip to Wave Hill with my Photography Camp – basking in nature, calm and serene. I also told you there was a flipside – last Wednesday we went to the Bronx Zoo – as opposite as opposite can be!! As soon as we got there one of the [...]
Last week I was knee deep in a one week Photography Camp. I had 10 kids ranging in age from 8 to 10 and one assistant. It was a lot of work but a really great experience. Different than the photography classes i was teaching at the Performing Arts camp this summer because this camp [...]
Last Friday, I found myself back at Chelsea Market, not eating my way through all the sweets like last time, but instead meeting the women behind all these great sweets and more. I was fortunate enough to attend an event to launch a new magazine called Where Women Cook – a new magazine from the [...]
