I Can Tell You How to Get to Sesame Street…
October 20, 2009 by Kimberly · 2 Comments
Or at least I can tell you how I got there. I took the “R” train to Steinway Street; walked West on 34th Avenue and made a left on 36th Street. After arriving on Sesame Street, I spent the next couple of hours surrounded by amazing, passionate people who love their jobs – parenting [...]

Congrats to the winner: tracy davis
Recently JCPenney contacted me about their baby registry. (No, I’m not pregnant. If you read about me being pregnant, it will be one of those “IUD baby” situations!) Rather, they wanted me to test out the site since many Mom in the City readers are expectant moms. [...]
