Jump into Fall and enjoy OUTDOOR Staten Island Family Fun

October 8, 2012 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

Let me preface everything I write by saying: I could never have survived both of my children's infancies and toddlerhoods without disposable diapers. I use plastic bags by the dozen on a daily basis, and I'd likely choose going to the movies over taking a hike in the forest. But I've also become incredibly anxious ever since I saw the documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," about the seriousness … [Read more...]

Quintessential Summertime fun: A day at the New York Aquarium and their brand new A-MAZE-ING WATER exhibit!

July 4, 2012 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

While the tradition of our family going to the New Jersey Shore is something I can't imagine giving up (though, the thought crosses my mind each year when we're sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic), this summer I've decided to explore the more geographically desirable Coney Island. It's a 20-minute car ride from the Verrazano Bridge and has some fabulous attractions no kid can resist. For me, … [Read more...]

I love the fact that some of the jokes on the show completely go right over kids' heads, while those … [Read more...]

I am a BORN and bred Brooklyn girl, in other words I've been shopping at Duane Reade since the ripe old year of 1973. I have seen its various incarnations and yet NOTHING prepared me for the Swarovski and marble laden glamour I feasted my eyes on upon entering Duane Reade's Flag Ship 40 Wall Street compound in the Trump Building. Honestly I felt like a wee kidlet in a candy store with all its … [Read more...]

Our favorite events this weekend on Staten Island

October 13, 2011 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

Like many parents, I feel like I am on this constant, never-ending multi-tasking treadmill--sound familiar?! And in the process of getting so utterly swept up in the minutiae of dishes, laundry, brushing teeth--(my six-year-old just had three cavities filled) dinnertime, my dog, e-mails and the list goes on I often forget the reason behind my actions...who the heck I'm scurrying around for! And … [Read more...]
