Adopt a Kitty! Empty Cages Event This Weekend.

February 4th, 2010

Hey, New York City! You should come to Williamsburg this Saturday and adopt a cat. Empty Cages Collective is holding an adoption event. It will be held at PS 9 Pets on North 9TH Street. Please? Pretty please?

ECC is a no-kill shelter. They work to trap, neuter and spay Brooklyn’s feral kitties (among other things). But sometimes, the cats aren’t actually feral and so they take them in and those guys need homes. Need a little love in your life? Adopt a kitty! Wanna give a little love?Maybe you’d like to make a donation?

In related news: Matt is a 9-year-old tiger kitty who is set to be killed tomorrow at another shelter. Let’s try and save him.


Overcoming His Fear of the Subway

There was a time not so long ago that Emory was terrified of the subway. All we’d have to do is get near an entrance and he’d begin screaming, “NO CHOO-CHOO!

November 6th, 2009

If there’s a perfect season to visit New York City, it’s the fall. The sky is alive and vision feels crisper. The trees are raining with color. There’s a leafy crunch on the ground that’s not snow! I love this city in the fall.

NaBloPoMo: Lionel Electric Trains At Rockefeller Center.

November 5th, 2009

I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned this here before, but my son LOVES trains. He’s obsessed with choo-choos. I know, that’s probably pretty common for kids his age, but trains are his favorite thing ever. That said, I wanted to extend this great opportunity to anyone living in the area. Maybe we can hang out!

NaBloPoMo: ING NYC Marathon

November 1st, 2009

Today is the first day of National Blog Posting Month. What does that mean? That means I’m going to try and write every single day in the month of November. I tried to do this once before (right after Emory was born) and I completed all but one day. This year I’m shooting for all 30. Wish me luck.

The moment I heard about Maddie Spohr’s tragic death, I knew I had to do something. So, whenever Isabel Kallman of AlphaMom wrote on Twitter stating that she’d be walking for the March of Dimes in honor of Maddie, I decided to join her.

February 23rd, 2009

We’re dealing with an extremely sick baby (again). I haven’t had time to shower let alone write anything (but had every intention on doing so!) Anyway, I stole a minute and wanted to pass along a very special link. Our friend, Astra, was in the New York Times this weekend! Read all about it here. And then you should totally go see her movie. It’s wonderful, thought-provoking and inspiring.
