The City that never sleeps....






I love New York City! I love it for about...5 days! The constant honking, the smell of cigarettes mixed with exhaust fumes, the endless lines in every store you go in, the lights, hailing a cab, riding the subway, broadway shows, PIZZA, hotdog stands, the shopping, I love it all, the good and the bad. I love the fact that you can walk all around the city, your feet will hurt by the end of the day but you can do it! On on block you can find, breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and a place to shop. This being my 5th time in the big city I have learned a couple of valuable things to keep in mind when planning a trip to the big city,
-Wear tennis shoes!!!!! I know that they don't always look the best but trust me, if you plan to walk, which even if you take a subway or taxi you will do, WEAR them! At first you think that you are going to look silly but when you look around, you will find that you fit right in and your feet will thank you later.
-Instead of that really great looking purse, carry a BACKPACK! Not a large one, but a small one. It is the best thing to have when walking around the city.
-(So I think this is right) When the lights are on, the cab is AVAILABLE. (I say I think because in all the times I have been there I still get confused.)
-See a broadway show (or two). This is my absoulte favorite thing to do in NYC and the reason we like to go. My favorites... Wicked, Jersey Boys, South Pacific, The Boy from Oz, I have seen a few others but these are my all time favorites!
-Do the city bus tour! Day and night, it is really fun and a great way to get around the big city!

Here are a couple of things we did this trip....
-Went to the Today show and saw.... Russell Brand, Justin Bieber, and got pooped on by a bird!
-Got some yummy cupcakes at the Magnolia Bakery, same bakery Miranda gets cupcakes from in Sex and the City
-Spotted Ron Jeremy
-Walked around the city
-Did a little shopping
-carriage ride through central park
-Saw Wicked and South Pacific
-Ate at my favorite Italian place, Carmines!
-Found some yummy Gelato
-Ate lots of great pizza
-Did the city bus tour (day and night tour)

We had a great trip to NYC and I am looking forward to going again one day soon!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
