FORWARD TO A FRIEND : SHARE ON YOUR NETWORK

Does your child love science? Are they smart?

We believe that smart kids like science.  Certainly smart parents guide their kids to like science…

I highly recommend Dazzling Discoveries! They run after school science programs all over the City in schools and at the JCC.  Godwyn, the founder and director – and smart innovator – is running a science camp this summer that I hope you’ll consider.  We, and many of our friends, have experiments around our house that the kids return to week after week to explore.  There are more girls in my daughter’s class than boys so please be sure you think about this for your son and/or daughter! Here is their info:

Dazzling Discoveries Science Camp

We do a cooking project or food project almost every day – from vegetable soup to pizza to making our own pasta. We focus on the science of  food – nutrition and how our bodies work, the effect of heat on different substances, the effect of cold. We experiment with freezing things as well. Generally we try to make a snack. 

We will also do a variety of engineering/ exploring materials activities. Building, toppling, balance. And we may do some animal themed activities – understanding animals – similarities and differences, habitats, etc.

I always have resources available but I let the interests of the children dictate what we do to some extent.  We will also spend some time in Riverside Park.

We run a small personal camp program. Visit Dazzlingdiscoveries.com. For more information contact Dazzlingdiscoveries@gmail.com. 

Camp will be held at 79th/Broadway in the church. Half day and whole day options available. One week sessions from June 10 – August 30.

Boy Meets Girl – Do you have a boy and girl in your life?

If you have ever gone swimming at the JCC, surely you know Kathy Morgenstern! She is a swim instructor and new head of aquatics and classes.  She’s an awesome force or energy and kids love her!  Well, I’ve known her since I was a kid and that’s because… her sister, Stacy and I used to go to camp together – in Wisconsin!

Fast forward and we’re all in NYC.  Stacy is a big time designer and has this very well publicized and loved line: Boy Meets Girl.

As she heard me talking all about my friends with kids, we realized that we could all indulge in these personalized hoodies.  Many of her loyal shoppers and celebrity fashionistas are still in the dating everyone stage and write “me  & ?” or their name and husband’s name on their sweatshirts but I thought it would be nice to let my friends with a son and daughter know about these sweet hoodies.  Stacy offered a discount to my friends (and your friends without kids who want to wear them too!) and we can all show our love to our kids with their names on our hearts!

You can go to this link for the adorable hoodie with your kids’ names!

 http://boy-meets-girl-usa.myshopify.com/collections/personalization/products/personalized-hoodie, or link to their homepage http://www.boymeetsgirlusa.com 

You can get a 10% discount off the personalized hoodies if you use this code: bmgvalerie

This is a great Mother’s Day gift, Birthday gift, birthing gift… just because you deserve it for all the schlepping you do with your kids!  I look forward to seeing more of these sweet silhouettes around the UWS!

We are pleased to announce the release of Babygate: What You Really Need to Know about Pregnancy and Parenting in the American Workplace, a new book by A Better Balance (with foreword by Cynthia Calvert & Joan Williams) available online just in time for Mother’s Day! Before women can “lean in” to achieve their career goals, entertain the debate about having it all, or fight for the need to work from home, they have to understand their basic rights in the workplace. For too many women, leaning in can result in being pushed out of a job. How and when does the law protect parents? Where does it fall short? A new, insightful guide offers a roadmap to the tricky terrain that comes with being a mom in the American workplace. About the book: Moms-to-be get tons of advice about what to eat, which stroller to buy, and how to get their bodies back after baby arrives. What’s missing is clear and comprehensive advice on how to keep their jobs during pregnancy and beyond. In Babygate, three legal experts share practical tips, real-life stories from moms and dads, and key legal information to spotlight the protections expecting and new parents have (and don’t have) in the workplace. This step-by-step guide covers everything from morning sickness to maternity leave to confronting discrimination on the job. With a clear, often witty, interpretation of the law and various employment policies, the authors explain how workers can advocate for themselves and protect their jobs and paychecks while welcoming their little bundles of joy. Babygate arms readers with valuable tools, including a ZagatTM-like guide on parents’ rights in each state. The authors also highlight how far the US lags behind the rest of the world when it comes to work-life policies and invite readers to join them in making America a more family-friendly nation. No baby shower is complete without it! Praise for the book: “Any mother-to-be who buys What to Expect When You’re Expecting should pick up a copy of Babygate to go with it. It offers indispensable advice to allow working parents to stay on the job and is a blueprint for change in the coming work-family revolution.” —Anne-Marie Slaughter, Princeton University professor and author of Why Women Still Can’t Have It All “A Better Balance, one of the outstanding defenders of parents’ legal rights in the United States, has given us an indispensable guide with Babygate. No new parent should leave the hospital without it!” —Ann Crittenden, Pulitzer Prize nominee and author of The Price of Motherhood “If you’re a working parent, you need Babygate—an invaluable and humane guide for expecting and new parents about their legal and economic rights in the American workplace. The information in its pages will provide answers to your most important questions and empower you to stand up for yourself and working families.” —Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of The Nation ***** You’re invited! We are celebrating the launch of Babygate with two events in New York City in May. Books will be available for sale!   May 15th: Join us at 61 Local from 7-9pm. Admission is free. Please RSVP to babygate@abetterbalance.org. For more information click here. May 21st: Join us at the Manhattan JCC from 6:30pm-8:30pm. For more information, click here. To register, call 646-505-5708. This is a free event. If you are unable to make either event, you can still buy Babygate online or have your book club or new parents’ group read the book and join in on the conversation! All proceeds from Babygate sales go to A Better Balance so we can continue our work educating low-income women about their legal rights in the workplace. Thank you for all that you do, Sherry, Dina, Phoebe, Jared, Karen, Elizabeth, Theresa, & Cari P.S. To learn more about our work visit our webpage.

Larstrand rentals in our neighborhood…

Since so many of you have been coming to my blog to learn more about the new rental building going up in our area, I became interested, There isn’t much about it around yet… but I wanted to share this info from Curbed.com:

Let me know if you learn more about the space!

UWS Rental The Larstrand Reveals Its Bland, Boxy Self

It’s been awhile since we checked in on the Larstrand, the Friedland Properties and Rose Associates rental rising at227 West 77th Street, and the 181-unit rental development has come a long ways. Designed by SLCE Architects, the 20-story tower, as New York YIMBY remarks, isn’t ugly, but just kind of bland and boxy. The building should be complete by the end of the year, and the Times reported that the units will range from 480-square-foot studios to 1,700-square-foot three-bedrooms. The three-bedrooms will be corner apartments with views of Broadway and rent for $90/square foot, while the 700-square-foot one-bedrooms will fetch about $80/square foot. Twenty percent of the units will be offered as affordable housing.

The interior of the building sounds a lot fancier than the exterior looks. Apartment kitchens will have quartz kitchen, Bosch appliances, and Bertazzoni ovens, and the bathrooms will be outfitted with radiant floor heating, defoggable mirrors with built-in TVs, Kohler tubs, and Italian tiles. Building amenities include a landscaped 4,800-square-foot roof deck with an outdoor movie theater. The ground floor and two lower levels of the building will have 40,000-square-feet of retail, 9,800 of which will be occupied by a CVS.
