St Patrick’s Day

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

“May your troubles be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door.”  St. Patrick’s Day is just one of the most fun holidays to celebrate!  I love the inclusiveness of everyone being Irish for a day: the green everything, the shamrocks, the parades, the music, and of course themed food and drinks (corned beef and green beer anyone?).  It’s a holiday everyone young and old can get into and enjoy.  You see so much spirit around town it’s like being back at your high school spirit week (How’s that for a throwback?!).

Blackhawks vs Rangers

“Hello out there, We’re on the air, It’s hockey night tonight!”  If you’re a hockey fan you are likely familiar with The Hockey Song by Stompin’ Tom Conners.  This Midwest girl was born and raised with Chicago Blackhawks in my blood.  I was there when we won the Stanley Cup in 2013 in Boston, and I am a steadfast fan even when it’s a rough year (like this one, for example).  Read more

As I have been telling you guys, Liam has become obsessed with all sports!  He loves going to games, wearing jerseys, playing them, meeting athletes…anything related.  So when his dad recently took him to see the Harlem Globetrotters, well, let’s just say he is still talking about it weeks later!

Love is Liberty and Liberty is Love

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

Maybe you have read my recent blog on Liberty, our new special-needs Biewer Yorkie with cerebellar hypoplasia. Well, she has been in our home for 3 weeks. It has been an exhilarating, educational, heartwarming,  and introspective time for the family. Bottom line: we love this dog immensely. We can’t see life without her. Living with a disabled dog is time consuming and stressful; similar to a human baby. You can’t turn your back. Every moment has trepidation associated with it. But, the sense of warmth and purpose and humanity make this activity worth the effort. Read more

Playroom Holiday Pop Up by Fatherly

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

Want to know how to keep a kid entertained and happy for hours?  Take them to a cave FULL of the 100 Best Toys of 2018.  We attended Fatherly’s holiday pop-up event, called The Playroom, and it did not disappoint.  Liam was thrilled with the littleBits workshops, Lego play station, the jump pit from RXBar Kids, and oh so casually mentioned that he would love to find a Monzi Go-Kart under the tree this Christmas!  Read more

Boing!

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

You can’t live in the city and not have a love of the theater!  That’s why it’s always been important to me to take Liam to shows whenever I can.  I thought it would be a great holiday activity to visit The New Victory Theater and see ‘Boing!’ Read more
