2019 was the year I explored Brooklyn. Starting with my prenatal classes, which took me to Prospect Heights; my hairdresser moving to Crown Heights; a bachelorette party in Greenpoint and Williamsburg; mommy-group took me all over Bed-Stuy and Park Slope and everything in between; and swim lessons in Tribeca (that's extra-northern Brooklyn). I even ( Read more... )

Yes, I know this post is going up many months late, and yes, a lot has happened since then such that I can barely remember, but I want to record my new year's resolutions and you may be interested in what I've been up to ( Read more... )

I suppose it's a little ridiculous to write my New Years post in March, but I realized the other day that my 2015 started October 31, 2014 and ended November 7, 2015, so the difference between 2 months late and 4 months late is... well. October 31 was when I found out my cousin died, so with the 2 deaths in August and emotionally losing someone ( Read more... )

Apparently I only write New Year's resolution posts every other year now. Oops.2014 was obviously my biggest year evuh: I got married and had a baby. Hard to top those ( Read more... )

I'd like to claim I wasn't really in the mood for the High Holidays this year because they came so early, but whatever it was, I feel kinda guilty. Jon and I had agreed to check out synagogues in Brooklyn after last Yom Kippur, but we never got around to it and he didn't want to commit to a shul for all the services without having been there before ( Read more... )

I wish I could read the New Year's resolution post I'd've written a year ago today, if I'd actually written one last year, bc it would be hilarious. I never imagined how my life would change. I fulfilled a lifelong dream of climbing a technical peak in the Himalayas -- and discovered that it's not all it's cracked up to be. My girlfriend dumped me ( Read more... )

With Columbus Day Actual falling on a Weds this year, I couldn't go away for the holiday, but I could catch a matinee. My mum even offered to buy tickets for the three of us. Too bad there was nothing to see. I read through the listings for all the Broadway and Off-Broadway shows and the only ones that sounded even moderately interesting were Book ( Read more... )

Thurs night, I went to a random women's networking event to which I was invited by a chick from the last MITEF event I went to, mostly bc it was a tasting (and discussion) of MarieBelle chocolate. ( Read more... )

Which is easier to bake, cake or pie? This year's New Year's resolution is to bake a cake, but Bruce Wayne makes reverent noises about pie and long-time readers will remember it was my NYR a few years back so.

Does homemade pie dough really make that big a difference? I've made my own mayonnaise and even considered making my own crackers, but ( Read more... )
