At the end of last year I wrote about how social media had opened doors for me that I never imagined would open.  This year, that continued and there were many wonderful opportunities that presented themselves as a result of my work.  To name a few: *My work at Ruckus Media Group has continued to thrive and I have been able to oversee their campaign as a partner of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  For the last six weeks, we have donated a portion of sales to children who need it most and I am very proud of our work. *I launched a … [Read more...]

Montreal with Kids

When Beth Feldman, over at Role Mommy and Project You, suggested I write a new article for her Westchester Edition of Project You, I was more than happy.  I loved the way my first piece turned out several months ago that made the Westchester edition, and this piece would be for the national edition. I recently went on a trip to Montreal and can't stop talking about it.  I was so enamored with the city.  Read about my thoughts and recommendations for families traveling with kids here: Open publication - Free publishing - More ann … [Read more...]

Indiana Jones Sweeps Through Montreal

Indiana Jones Montreal

If you are headed to Montreal with the kids this summer, you can't miss out on the latest exhibit at the Montreal Science Center. It's a great experience for kids of all ages - as well as adults - and an opportunity to study an important part of history, both in terms of film-making and archaeology. Who's childhood wasn't affected by the brave, honest Indiana Jones? For me, he was a true hero. I've followed all of Spielberg's film about the meek professor who seemed to save the world from harm over and over again. I'm also a film buff, so I've … [Read more...]

Montreal with Kids

On my recent trip to Montreal, I was overwhelmed with the city’s European flare.  After a less than 60-minute flight from NYC, I was transported into a world of cafes, croissants, café’ au laits, signs and menus in French and French architecture.  Getting to Montreal is so easy, and the rewards of a weekend away are so abundant.  Plus, there are so many things to do with kids, and what better way to introduce them to French culture without breaking the bank on a trip to Europe? Montreal has so much to offer - it’s a city with so much history. … [Read more...]
