The NY International Children’s Film Festival (NYICFF)
As a practice, I don’t normally list calendar events on this blog. (I considered adding an events calendar once I stopped maintaining the one at ParentZone, but it’s too time consuming.) Anyway, I still get some really great local event notices. I will share the especially good ones (like the one below) [...]
Cottonelle Times Square Event Recap
January 27, 2010 by Kimberly · 3 Comments
I mentioned in this post that I would be covering the Cottonelle Times Square event as a (paid) Mom Bloggers Club VIP Ambassador. I did that earlier today and I had even more fun than I had expected.
I was given a rose near the start. It was made of toilet paper, but [...]

January 25, 2010 by Kimberly · 2 Comments
I file this one in the “silly but fun” category…
This upcoming Wednesday is Thomas Crapper Day. Although John Harrington invented the flush toiled, Crapper often gets the credit for doing so by many. To celebrate, Cottonelle is hosting a “Great Debate Event” in Times Square ABC’s Time Square Studios (1500 Broadway / 44th [...]

Madeline’s Tea at Carlyle Hotel
January 7, 2010 by Kimberly · 2 Comments
My husband and sons are thwarting my attempts to have another tea lover in my house. That is why it is great to have friends, reviewers and fellow bloggers with little girls! One of my favorites, Linda Grant of New York City Single Mom, was able to attend the Madeline’s Tea at the [...]

December 16, 2009 by Lesley · Leave a Comment
Mom in the City member and reviewer Lesley Thompson wrote the following:
This past Saturday, December 12th, my family and I saw Literally Alive Children’s Theatre’s latest musical adaptation of “A Christmas Carol”. Since our last visit in September, where we saw “The Selfish Giant,” we have been eagerly awaiting their next production.
As we walked into [...]
Target To-Go NYC (12/11-12/13)
I have heard many Manhattanites bemoan the fact that there are not any Target (or “tar-jay” as some affectionately refer to them) stores in Manhattan. Well, there will be one this week. Unfortunately, it is not for keeps. It is simply a three day holiday shopping event.
The “Target To-Go” event [...]
10 Behind The Scenes Tidbits From Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon Inflation
November 25, 2009 by Kimberly · 4 Comments
Thanks to NBC, I had the opportunity to be a part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon inflation tonight. It rained a bit near the end, but nothing could put a damper on this special time. The participating bloggers received a special “behind the barriers” tour. It was all the more [...]
Geek Squad
November 5, 2009 by Kimberly · 5 Comments
“Being a geek isn’t always a bad thing…” That’s what I thought after the Geek Squad left my home. (They had come over for me to review their services as part of a “Holiday House Call” promotion.)
Before they came, I had a call with them regarding my family’s tech needs. I have [...]

I mentioned this place in my The Class Trip Parent post. It really is a great place to visit in Queens. So, if you live in (or will be visiting) the NYC area, Green Meadows Farm is a wonderful place to take your family.
