On Wednesday, June 4, I took some much needed mom-me time and headed into the city to give a huge congratulations to the blog team from Well Rounded NY in turning one (#WRNYisOne). Held at the rooftop of the Bloom showroom, fellow bloggers and local women owned companies mingled over their passion for their work, all while sipping mocktails, nibbling on popsicles, hot dogs, pretzels and snap shot with the cut out photo booth. I am excited to add this fab event this summer….
The Day I Met My Fashion Icon #TBT
Today is #TBT (Throwback Thursday) and I wanted to share with you the day I met “friend in my head” Sarah Jessica Parker.

The Gift of Winter is a whimsical tale of how snow came to be. A long time ago, townsfolk from a town comprised of all children send a delegation to travel to the Ministry of Winter to file a formal complaint to save the town from the coldest season. But it is the perseverance and determination of two boys that truly save their town. Popular songs include “The Answer is Snow” and “Down with Winter.” 25 cast members range in age from 9-16 and hail from all over the New York metro-area, including every borough!

Review: Wanda’s Monster: The Musical & A Discount Code
On Sunday, my family and I beat the heat and headed to NYC to view a family musical called “Wanda’s Monster: The Musical”. This was Lil B’s first time at a musical so I was extremely excited for him to catch the show and for him to meet his all time favorite musician and the shows lyricist, the talented Laurie Berkner. Laurie Berkner was and still is heard being blasted throughout our home and on car trips…I even catch myself humming (and sometimes even out loud) her tunes, which are not only catchy, but heartfelt.
Once the show started Lil B was dancing and moving his feet to the opening’s catchy tune and to his favorite tune “Monster Boogie” (which is on Berkner’s “The Best Of The Laurie Berkner Band”CD, Amazon).
Wanda’s Monster is about a girl named Wanda, who insist that there is a monster living in her closet. Hadn’t we all feared something when we were younger? I know I did! Till this day I still fear things, but you learn to put your big girl pants and face them head on….So while Wanda desperately tries to convince her brother that there’s a monster in her closet, she learns through her Granny A.K.A the Rock star grandma, about facing her fears and thus we watch Wanda transform into a brave girl.
What a great message….for kids of all ages.
Wanda’s Monster is a 60 minutes performance without an intermission. Which was perfect for my little one…he was enchanted by the music and just loved the adorable monster. He loved the monster so much that during pictures he placed stickers on his fur…awww
After every show there is a 20 minute meet and greet with cast members in the lobby! Here we are with the entire cast of Wanda’s Monster. From the left we have me with Lil T, Wanda’s brother Bobby, the Monster that lives in the closet, Lil B, Wanda with her rocking Granny and my hubby.
Wanda’s Monster is now playing from July 13th – September 8th, 2013
at Vineyard’s Dimson Theatre
108 E. 15th st at Union Square in Manhattan
