I am very excited to tell you all about this new guide that has been recently unveiled. It is called the Bleuleo Guide and is NYC’s most comprehensive and relevant city guide for parents — and thought you might find it helpful in navigating the city with kids.
BlueleoGuide features over 6,000 NYC resources in the areas of Afterschool Programs, Things To Do, Birthday Party Venues, Entertainers, Private & Public Schools, Tutors, Special Needs Classes, Pediatricians, Mommy Classes & Groups, Childcare Agencies, Kid-friendly Restaurants, Children’s Stores, Birthday Cake Shops and Charities. All categories are searchable by neighborhood, and our upcoming iPhone app will show you the resources that are closest to you.
I wish I had an iPhone so I could use the upcoming app, but alas……

Bee was energetic but, this performance was simply beautiful. I understand this is part of her tour show.
But this is my favorite performance simply because I love and miss my friend Michael Jackson.

When I heard that Carol’s Daughter was going to produce products in connection with the Princess and the Frog movie I blogged about it. When the product became available I bought them immediately for my daughters. Now that we have used the products for more than 30 days I am going to share our experience.
I was super excited to see the Princess and the Frog. The debut of Disney’s first African-American princess had myself and my oldest daughter all a glow with anticipation. When I got the email (yes I subscribe to Carol’s Daughter for updates so should you!) I went and got the new products. Alana really likes the purple flower/rose shaped scrubber that came with the initial offering of the Magical Beauty Collection. She also like the names of each; The Beauty Within, Inner Shine and Sharing Means Caring, Alana commented that the names really made her feel like a Princess. She thanked me everyday for about a week for getting her the gift set. We went through it pretty quickly because she wanted to use it always!
The products (bubble bath, shampoo and conditioner) are easy to use, do not cause any teary eyes and really work. I am particularly impressed with the conditioner which leaves everybody’s hair super soft and manageable, which in my house is no easy task. My daughters have very different hair textures, but both need moisture. I typically have to buy different products for each not only because of age but because, what works really well in Asherah’s hair will most probably weigh Alana’s down after a few uses. The Carol’s Daughter conditioner works on both heads and there is no flaky residual for Alana.
Carol’s Daughter has created a great product and given it a really classy look which makes all of our little princesses feel special.

Lately I have been obsessed with Chinatown in Downtown Manhattan (there are others out in Queens). I enjoy the trip across the bridge on the Q train, Hello Kitty, Homeopathic herbalists, knockoffs and trinkets. But what really floats my boat is the food.
Dim Sum, Noodle shops, and hole in the wall spots to get great tasting and cheap food have become my ambition. Yesterday, we took the Q train across the bridge, making sure to get great seats to watch the animations that can be seen while underground and the beautiful city vistas while on the bridge. We were in search of a restaurant under the Manhattan Bridge that was listed in Time Out Magazine as a great place for cheap eats. We traveled to East Broadway and Forsythe Street and there it was. 106 Forsythe Street a little, TAKE OUT PLACE! OMG! No where in the article did it say that is was take-out only. Discouraged and hungry we crossed a few streets and found a noodle house with a large screen television and a lazy susan. We had a great meal and my oldest watched TV in Mandarin.
On the way back to the Q train we copped a Rolex in a very brief and intense exchange of expert bartering. We also passes the Old China Town outside market where you can get fresh fruit and vegetables at bargain prices. I think they are a few days old and surplus amounts. I am always in awe of the jewelry shops in the are. Some have super large necklaces made of gold flowers and such and others have lots of diamonds. I love feeling like I took a trip to another country.
