Last night, I was taking Comang on his evening walk when I ran into a group of boys playing baseball. There is almost always a group of middle-school-aged boys playing on this block when the weather is nice (I think one or two of them live on that street) — they are usually skateboarding, biking, […]
A big “con” of having an anterior placenta is that I will not feel the baby move as early, or as often as other mothers. Luckily, I first felt the sensation of fluttering butterflies at 16 weeks…but not much since. The big exception was when we went on our babymoon and I felt her swimming […]
One of the (many) things I love about NYC is the abundance of street and subway performers. May it be a classically-trained prodigy giving an impromptu concert, a struggling musician performing for dollars (often with the wish that a record executive will “discover” them), or an out-of-luck bum drumming some beats on some upside-down plastic […]
I subscribe to over 500 sites via Google Reader (sadly, if your site doesn’t have an RSS feed, it’s likely that I’ll never visit it again unless it is spectacular) and I always have a heck of a time trying to “weed” through my feeds in an effort to lessen the number of posts/articles I […]
In light of yesterday’s post regarding The Bubble Wrap Generation, I found it strangely appropriate that I learned about “Take Our Children to the Park…& Leave Them There Day” this morning on the radio. I was not surprised when my favorite NYC blog, Gothamist, picked up on the story and ignited a furious war among […]
I have always had a soft spot for architecture. I mean, who hasn’t seriously considered becoming an architect after reading Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead? And as cliché as it sounds, Frank Lloyd Wright has always been my favorite architect and Fallingwater my favorite residential building. Visiting Fallingwater has been on my to-do list for over […]
The War on Children’s Playgrounds J thinks that I will be an overly overprotective parent. I firmly disagree. I believe that there is an age up to which a child should be protected and nurtured because they just don’t know better. However, we must also educate our children during this period to be aware of […]
When I was little, I asked my mother what love is. “Love is something you give away. But unlike other things, the more you give the more you receive in return. If you give one, you get two. If you give two, you get four, and so on. But you shouldn’t give love just for […]
I know that I constantly chide J for acting immature, but whenever I see him with Comang I can’t help but just know that he will make a wonderful father to our little girl. photo taken with my Moto Droid, edited with Totally Rad actions The best relationship advice I’ve ever been given is, “Do […]
I know that I have a good 4 months to go before baby girl is ready to come sliding out of my hoo-ha, but this topic has been weighing heavily on my mind. The essay below is a popular one in the BabyCenter boards, has been posted in numerous threads and is a topic of […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
