Up Up & Away – Flying with Baby: Kenzo took his first flight in utero – to Japan no less! Out of the womb, he flew at 6 weeks. Just a 2 hour jaunt this time, but he was a trooper! I on the other hand was a nervous wreck!! Would he scream the whole flight? Would we join the mile high diaper blowout club? Luckily, neither of those happened, and I’m knocking on wood for our next flight in May, this time I’ll be sans daddy… <CONTINUE for more including how to get a passport, carry-on and lap child policies, etc!>
Don’t Fry Baby!: Let me preface this entry by saying I have not yet tried any of these products yet, and the companies have not asked me to 
promote them, nor do they know that I am doing so. These are just some products or companies I’ve come across in my search to protect my little one from the harsh rays of his first summer without slathering him with chemicals or keeping him tethered to my sofa indoors all season! Check ’em out if you’re so inclined, and please leave a comment if you have tried (and recommend or don’t recommend) any of these… <CONTINUE to see a list of great organic sunblocks and UPF 50+ UV clothing options!>

After spending the last week in New Orleans on business, I was happy to come home to lovely spring weather here in NY. The sun is shining and the flowers are blooming, not least of all the sakura! Around these parts the 桜祭り (sakura matsuri) at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden is famous for celebrating the cherry blossoms and Japanese culture, but over in Queens there is another festival which has grown over the last three years. As you can probably tell from this shot of the 59th Street Bridge shrouded in sakura, I’m referring to Roosevelt Island’s very own 桜祭り.
After getting off the F train or alighting from the tram, a short walk along the East River leads you to the stars of the show, the sakura. Although they weren’t quite at their peak, they were Read More
