The East End of Long Island is less than two hours from New York City and suprisingly rural, so parents often ask me what there is to do out there with kids. Unfortunately, everything I know about the Hamptons I’ve learned from watching Sex and the City and Revenge, which tend focus on adult pursuits like drinking, back-stabbing and adultery.

To find some better answers, 5-year-old Tiny Traveler and I headed out to the Riverhead and the South Fork over spring break.…

One of the best islands I've been to in Thailand is Koh Lipeh.  Koh meaning Island, so the island of Lipeh.  My friends and I had a blast. We always have smiles in our faces every time we reminisce those moments.  We went there by super speedboat.  It was damn scary.    It felt like we were just gliding up and down the big waves.  There were few times when it felt like the boat was falling especially after a big wave.  I had the same feeling when I first went on a Ferris Wheel back…

Are your weekends as crazy as mine?

A mother and daughter often bond over the simplest things - like an inside joke or a silly song. OR the amazing taste of Mackinac Island fudge.

But first, a quick note: Before leaving for the island for our mom-daughter vacation last week, I decided to buy a little flip videocamera. Now, I'm not particularly techie, and I did have a vision of dropping the camera over the side of the boat, but I tried to put all that out of my head. Instead, I just thought positive, and…

Today my mom, A and I headed to the Pawtucket Winter Farmers Market at the Hope Artiste Village. We are so in love! The market is in an old (and beautiful) mill, and we arrived at 10am to find the place packed. There were barrels for recycling compost! Eggs cartons lined a wall, stacked neatly by the people returning them for reuse. Fresh food everywhere we turned! Artisan soaps everywhere, herbs, grass-feed beef, fresh-baked bread, fresh cheeses, delicious vegan ice cream,… Continue

Crikey mUm: Ooh Snow, the Beach & Oatmeal Cookies: Part II

 

With the entire Hampton Roads area blanketed in snow, while most Virginian's were out building snowmen or cursing the icy roads on their two-hour delay to work, Michael and I decided to go to the beach.   



I know going to the beach in a snow storm sounds a little bit Addams Family, but where…

Summer is in full swing and it's time to rock the boat! Boaters love this time of year. Daylight hours are longer, there's always a reason to get friends together and head out on your boat for a day of fun and

enjoyment. Don't forget the sunscreen, some good food, your fishing gear

and the music that makes you think of sun and fun. Lots of people like

to drop anchor and meet up with other boaters to swim,…
