The Picasso Exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Posted by Leave a Comment
Yesterday I decided to take some time out and do something I'd wanted to do for a while: go into the city and hit the Picasso exhibit at the Met. Since the very first time I went to the Picasso Museum in Paris, and then to the one in Barcelona, I became a huge fan of this famous artist and was eager to see the Met's collection before it closes on August 15th. Picasso is not only one of my favorite artists, but one of the most pivotal artists of our time. Read More

Mom Faux Pas

Major mom faux pas. Yesterday at the pool, my daughter who swims regularly on a swim training team refused to swim. My generally sweet, good-natured seven-year old little girl had a complete melt-down right there at the pool. She insisted that she can't breathe in the pool 50 times back and forth, and that when she swims across, the class is too hard for her. This reaction had come after having taken the class for four weeks without a peep about any difficulty. Read More
