Easter brings up fond memories for me. As a little girl raised in the south, it was a fun and festive time. My sisters and I would get new, pastel dresses along with our Easter baskets and other celebrations. That is why I like the pastel Easter egg Nail Art "How-To" that Jin Soon Choi (founder of the JINsoon Nail Lacquer line and Jin Soon Hand & Foot Spas in NYC) sent over.

I was happy that their moving quote was … [Read more...]
Last Friday I attended a roundtable discussion with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, First Lady Charlayne Machray and several different parent blogger colleagues at City Hall. The discussion was primarily focused on universal full day pre-k in NYC.
