My toddler calls everyone "Babe" like an agent in LA. My favorite thing is when he cheers on his friends, his dad, people exercising, really anyone, with "You've got this, Babe!"

Makes me giggle every time

This is why the internet exists

My toddler asked for a kiss last night at bed. He said, "Mama, you smell like butter. Also me?" Which is his way of saying, "stop holding out on me"

UGH...

Wait. My kid has a snack doppelganger? I didn't know that was a thing

We had dumplings for dinner last night. And, I guess we're having dumplings for dinner tonight. I don't make the rules

I feel confident saying if Shonda Rhimes was writing this latest episode of the NYC Mayoral race, we'd all say she'd gone too far and that it wouldn't happen in real life. And, yet....

So glad the reply guys have made it to Bluesky!

The "close door" button in the elevator is nonfunctional. My toddler has internalized this and started telling people in the elevator that it's a placebo button (we live in NYC)

Asked my 3 year old if he was ready to go in and go to bed. His response? "Mama, let's watch the sunset."

I'm a SUCKER because we totally watched the sunset.

Worth it

Ink, Blood, Sister Scribe is a bit of all 3 and an excellent debut novel. Portrait or a Thief is a fun mystery. And Heir is in the fantasy realm. An "oldie" is The Beach which, if you haven't read, you should

I recently read Babel and really enjoyed it. I promise to go to my corner book store in NYC!

Did my toddler create this?

Saw a construction worker using sidewalk scaffolding like a jungle gym (puli-ups, hip circles, etc) and was mesmerized because it's 85 and humid in NYC. Then I saw the tripod setup and realized he's an influencer.

YouTube has the AP red carpet stream

I'm so happy I can listen to Reputation guilt-free

Sicilia Osteria (West) is also great for shareable stuff and is always a crowd pleaser

Kung Fu Kitchen if you're on the West side, Mari.ne Hand Rolls if you're on the East side (and they like sushi).

Can confirm this is a FAB summer read. As is "Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone"

I cried when I got my vaccine while pregnant because I was so thankful for science.

I cried when the vaccine was approved for under 5s so my baby would have some protection from a deadly disease.

I guess we're taking a family trip to Canada in the fall...

I also like those things, but I have a toddler. Things we both enjoy:
* Carb crawl at bakeries (LES has several great ones)
* Dumpling crawl through Chinatown
* Queens Night Market
* Walk the High Line early AM
* Natural History Museum
* Botanical Gardens
* Ride on top of the double decker bus

‘SESAME STREET’ is coming to Netflix with new episodes and past seasons premiering later this year.

By the way, The Financial Times offers free online subscriptions to students aged 16-19, their teachers and schools around the world.

An Open Letter to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Who Thinks My Daughter Is a Tragedy Dear Mr. RFK Jr., (The “dear” is tradition. Don’t mistake it for affection.) You said autistic children are a burden. That they ruin families. That...

What I wouldn't give for 2000 words on the implications for DC Opus Dei Catholics with the election of Pope Leo XIV

Small cake in the shape of a white bunny wearing a lilac bowtie with pink polka dots.

Made a bunny cake for Easter. Toddler told me, "It's not beautiful. It's just good."

I've been murdered by my 3 year old, if anyone needs me.

Louder for the people wo feel like they're disappointing the books (it's me)

I found Ojai pixies at the grocery store today. So that's a bright spot

FWIW, I didn't realize we were voting for which Gilded Age policy to implement. I'd have voted for "recuperating at the seaside."

Was that on the ballot? Can we get a recount? I'm sure it would win (along with democracy and due process)

I WISH someone told me this when I was in high school. I thought everyone had DEBILITATING cramps
