The other day I
read "Turning 30: 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know" on
Huffington Post. I am 31 going on 32. Whenever I read one of these articles, I
feel like there should be some sappy music playing in the background; like a theme
song for those with a spectrum of arrested development disorders… like a grown
up after-school special. As I read
through the article I had an "ah-ha" moment (even without the...

In honor of Mother's Day, it seemed the perfect time to share an excerpt from the new best selling book The Seven Pearls of Financial Wisdom which I co-wrote with Carol Pepper. New York Natives Sasha and Piper Weiss were gracious enough to share the experience and expertise of child stardom in Manhattan:If your children are photogenic or
athletic, you may be wondering just how far their looks and talents can take
them. Your children...

Why do I live in New York? It’s a question that I’ve asked
myself a lot. It’s also a question I’ve completely scoffed at and discredited.
Why wouldn’t I live in New York? Why would I want to live anywhere else? HOW
COULD I POSSIBLY ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF LIVING ANYWHERE ELSE? Those are the
questions that fit tidily into my self-serving personal narrative of “New York
Native” and general man about (big) town. But, let’s escape my private...

When I was growing
up, my parents transformed my father’s office into a separate bedroom and
playroom so I could have a space of my own.
With knees bent in the air and the soles of my feet to the floor, I’d
lie on my thin, light rose carpet listening to hit Broadway musical records
(Annie, The King and I, etc.) and fantasize I’d one day be Peter Pan, or at the
very least spawn wings and be able to fly. I also spent hours...

As someone who
suffers from food intolerance, I thoroughly understand the trials and
tribulations my loved ones have had to endure following my diagnosis. That's because my food allergy
doesn’t affect just me. It’s affected my family and those around
me.
The Food Allergy
Initiative, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a cure for
food allergies, understands the importance of linking food allergy awareness
with...

Hi. I'm Lucca. I'm a 5 month-old dachshund. I was adopted on
Good Friday and my mom named me Lucca (Italian for bringer of light). She said
dachshunds are German, but she likes Lucca and I guess I like it too. I'm white
with dapple - grey and brown bits and am pretty much now a local celebrity.
After a rather wild first
twenty - four hours in my new digs, trying out a play pen, a bed, food, a
teething toy, a heart sleeping nurturing...

Late last summer I
received a plot in one of my neighborhood’s community gardens. This was cause for celebration,
especially as it came after a three year wait. I eagerly attended orientation, picked out a sunny space and
weeded the soil. The weeding
yielded questionable soil, which forced me to then undertake a ten hour
excavation during which I discovered more bricks and garbage than soil. As an homage to my...

The other night I
sat down to a lovely meal with a very old friend. We "catch up"
periodically and amidst whatever is new in our respective super-busy lives we
do tend to hit on some big life topics. We have similar takes on a few and tend
to check in to see how we are both handling them.
One such topic on
the menu for at least the last 5 or 6 years is kids; and more specifically,
having them. We've both been hemming, hawing and...

Spend a week or even a few hours caring for an Alzheimer’s patient, and you may quickly find yourself hurtling into the depths of despair. Every patient and every stage is different but it’s not uncommon for your loved ones to bite you and their caregivers, spit out their food at meals, cry uncontrollably, relieve themselves in public areas, stare vacantly in a disturbing manner and–if they can still hold a conversation–have the same...

Dear Graham,
Weighing in at 7lbs and
13oz, little Graham, you are indeed the smallest of all the New York Natives…
and you probably have the least hair!
How lucky are we to have one fantastic New York Natives contributor who doubled herself in our first year and went ahead
and made another New York Native! God bless her, 'cause we all know that's
what the world needs, another New Yorker...Graham, you are a lucky little girl. Both of...
