Super Shake Shack

I'm a foodie.  Now that I'm pregnant (probably for the last time), I'm a (justified, in my mind) foodie.  Tonight, my husband, son and I were walking through Madison Square Park and we noticed the Shake Shack.  I had read a couple of articles about the kid-friendliness and good food AND I had a French fry craving so we all went there for dinner.  At first my husband was hesitant because the place recently had been written up in the paper regarding health code violations.  The smell of the fries and the long lines convinced us (ok, especially me!) to give the place a try.  We had a hot dog, a cheeseburger and the French fries and we were all pleased.  The hot dog is exceptional and my husband loved it until the last bite when he noticed the green sauce on it (it's a visual thing).  The French fries were great and well-priced for the portion size.  The cheeseburger was really good too, but it was a little small.  All in all, we really liked the restaurant and we will be back again.  (I already have their cheese fries and crème brulee custard on my "food treat" list!)

 

Lastly, I checked their website (http://www.shakeshacknyc.com/) and they have passed their health re-inspection...

Chicken Pox Party - NOT

A producer left me a message inquiring about chicken pox parties...whether our members participate in them or if I knew of one that was coming up.

Previously, I had read a couple of articles about these "parties" but didn't take it too seriously.  Apparently these parties are more prevalent than I had thought.  It appears that many families in the United States are organizing disease parties to expose their children to chicken pox rather than use the chicken pox vaccine. 

Either the women I know (and I know hundreds of women) aren't participating in this trend or they are keeping very quiet about their involvement.  Personally, I would never willfully expose my child to disease. (I feel guilty when he gets sick after playing with a child whom I knew was sick with a cold!)  I'm not 100% on my opinion about the chickenpox vaccine yet, but if (and when) my child catches chicken pox, it will be the old-fashioned way...by accident!

Smoothies!

My new favorite cool drink is the Mango Passion Fruit Smoothie from Dunkin Donuts.   They are made with real fruit and yogurt, and are a good source of Calcium and Vitamin C (especially helpful now that I'm eating and drinking for 2!).

What's even better is that there are coupons for FREE 16 oz. smoothies in the September issues of Parents and child magazines (that's how I tried it in the first place).

Child based jewelry and home decor

There is a creative new website, http://magicdogstudio.com, that has interesting  jewelry and home decor based on children and their artwork.  (It is not beaded jewelry - the mom owner is a formally trained silversmith.)  Check it out for unique gifts.
