February 8, 2010 by Kimberly · 26 Comments
I don’t have any more babies, but I still interact with a lot of new and expecting moms – on a professional and a personal basis. When I was sent a Baby Bunch Baby Bouquet to review, I ended up giving it to one of the newest “moms in the city” who has an [...]
Two Special Treats From Hong Kong (One Was Jackie Chan)
On Saturday, my family (along with several other Mom in the City members and their families) attended an advance screening of The Spy Next Door. We had a fun time.
Once we arrived at the theater, we took a picture of the kids before the movie started.

Skype Keeps Families and Friends Connected

During college many moons ago, I worked at a variety of jobs. One of my favorite was working as a back-up babysitter for a certain celebrity’s four kids. (Hint: star of Tootsie) I have never been someone who is impressed by celebrity – which is probably why I got the job – BUT [...]

December 22, 2009 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment
Since respect in relationships is very important to me, I was eager to review The Power of Respect: Benefit from the Most Forgotten Element of Success by Deborah Norville. I love the premise of this book: “Want to get the respect you deserve? Try giving it.” Truer words were never spoken/written!
In the book, [...]

December 20, 2009 by Kimberly · 2 Comments
Have you noticed that I don’t review a lot of DVDs anymore? It’s because my kids out-grew a lot of them/have other preferences. However, there is one DVD that has been especially popular around my house lately. You might want to watch it during winter recess…we will.
We love the review copy of [...]

A while ago, I attended a Ninja Launch Event. I’m pretty sure that you have heard of Euro-Pro’s Ninja Master Prep. Basically, it is a food and drink maker. It’s sort of like a mini food processor…but better. I have had two food processor sets in the past. I used [...]

December 4, 2009 by Kimberly · 2 Comments
December 4 Book. What book – fiction or non – touched you? Where were you when you read it? Have you bought and given away multiple copies?
Looking back over the year, I have read many books. Some were for work while others were more for personal pleasure and/or growth. It’s difficult to pick [...]

The reason that New York City is so crowded during the Christmas and holiday season is that there is so much to see and to do! The Radio City Christmas Spectacular is one of the things that you don’t want to miss. It’s a classic. That’s why I was so excited when [...]
