Best Kids Summer Shoes: Keen and Salt-water Sandals

These two brands are, to me, the best kids summer shoes that I continue to buy year after year. A few years ago, I was turned to Keen and Salt-Water® Sandals by friends of mine. I noticed that their girls shoes looked comfortable and wearable, especially in the New York City summer heat. When I [...]

by Pam on April 27,2012
Because my girls are older I sometimes wish that all these baby, infant and toddler products and services were available nine years ago when I had no time to do any research, but needed lots of help. I mean, let’s get real. Eight years ago Facebook, Twitter and Instagram weren’t even invented! Now, new moms [...]
Cynthia Nixon Reveals her Experience with Rosacea
by Pam on April 25,2012
As a woman and as a person, it’s tough when your skin doesn’t let you shine through. It’s even tougher when the presence of your skin affects how you feel. With rosacea sufferers, its not just their skin that is affected, but their mental-well being. It’s Rosacea (ro-za-sha) Awareness Month, which means we all can help [...]
Our Date-Night Babysitters Out-Grew Us
by Pam on April 23,2012
When we first moved to the Financial District in New York City, we moved into a building in which we were only one-of-two families who lived in the building. The rest of the inhabitants? They were all post-college 22-year olds. Not necessarily the perfect neighbors (we’ve been kept up many nights due to loud parties), [...]

On a whim last Sunday we decided to go bike riding. We were slated for some beautiful weather here in New York City and decided to take advantage of it. After our morning breakfast at Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee Shop in Lower Manhattan, we took a short walk over to the CPBS Seaport Bicycle Shop [...]

by Pam on April 17,2012
Jewelry is always fun to get, especially on Mother’s Day. To me, its never the most dazzling or expensive piece of jewelry that I end up loving. The pieces that I end up wearing every day are the ones that mean the most to me. Below are my top three favorite jewelry brands and pieces [...]

A Must See Movie: Bully
by Pam on April 9,2012
Thanks to The Bully Project for sponsoring my writing. Visit their website to join the movement and learn more. I remember this girl in middle school who was a year older than me. She didn’t have any friends, she seemed like a loner, she just didn’t fit in. People would laugh at her, make fun [...]
Family Vacations: Making the Girls Closer
by Pam on April 6,2012
The girls are at amazing, fun, engaging and independent ages: 8 and 4 years old, so we’ve (finally) started to go on big family vacations together. Last summer, we spent two weeks at the Jersey Shore; for Christmas we spent eight days in Paris for our first HomeExchange; then we traveled to Arizona to visit family (post on [...]
