New York City Kids |5 places for Camping with Toddlers
I don’t know if it’s just a certain age kid get to but right around two, every child I encountered in New York City was talking about camping. I’m pretty sure this has more than a little something to do with smores. As a child camping meant being shipped off to some faraway place to learn survival skills, however now that I’m a mom myself I started looking for something a little closer to home to quelch my toddler’s desire to sleep under the stars. What follows is an exhaustive list of all the campgrounds within New York City to take your kids to this summer. New York City has…

4 Vegan Smore Recipes
It’s summer here in New York, which means camping season is in full effect. For some, that means packing up the kids and heading outside the city limits but there are still a bunch of places to go camping within the city limits. In my opinion camping season is shorthand for eat-all-the-smores- you-can stuff-your-face-with season in my book. Smores are like pieces of magic you hold in your hands, but even they can get to be a little redundant so I’ve scoured the globe to find ways to reinvent the classic smore recipe.

Women who inspire me to be both a better woman and mother. This virtual community of super moms has given me the push I need to listen to my own voice.

Sustainable City | Whittier California
Outside of Los Angeles and the Bay Area I’ve never truly adventured into California. Spending three days in the city of Whittier California I got the chance to see a different side of California. Whittier is a picturesque quiet city bordered by beautiful mountains with an abundance of lush rolling hills. If you time your visit right you’ll catch a glimpse of the biannual blooming Jacaranda trees, that pepper the sidewalks of the older neighborhoods. The trees, long ago imported from some far away land, are noticeable by their animated purple leaves that look ripped from the pages of a Doctor Seuss book. Whittier California is home to Whittier College…
