About
HI!
I’m Maria. This is my little space online. I like to tell stories about my family and our shenanigans.
I’m a dancer, choreographer and social media creative based in NYC. Additionally I’m a freelance beauty and fashion trend writer and write for multiple outlets including THE NEW YORK MOM.
I’m rediscovering New York with kids in tow. I created this online space a few years ago to document the life milestones of Lily – my daughter. Since then… we’ve had another little babe – Thom and his milestones are now being documented.
This blog is a work in progress… it’s constantly changing and evolving and has sort of taken a life of it’s own.
This site is PR friendly. If you are interested in working or advertising with me don’t be shy, drop me a line! newyork.mom1@gmail.com
^^^ this is Lily. She’s amazing and totally fearless. She’s 8. And I’ve started scaling back on personal coverage about her. She is going to live in the jungle after high school and become a ‘jungle-girl’. I wish her all the luck in the world. She’s also going to be an astromaut and make friends with an alien, she’s a fashion girl and rides her bike really fast, she loves the beach and has the sweetest softest, kindest heart of anyone I have ever known.
^^^this is Thom. He was just born. He smiles a lot, poops a lot and loves Lily.
^^^ this is Jonah. He’s my beast. He loves cheese, squirrels and to snuggle all day errr-day.He is my baby… my sweet hairy baby.
^^^ this is my Mr. He is the love of my life.

Hi Maria!
I ended up on your blog after some click-throughs on a tagged Facebook photo (Matt is my FB friend). Wow, that makes me sound like a stalker! I promise I’m not – just a tired mom up feeding a baby and browsing on my phone while trying to rock him so much that he remembers 4 am is not an appropriate play time. Anyway, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog and just wanted to say hello. I shared a link to my own blog, although it is terrible and horribly neglected – but here in the wee hours of morning, I’m feeling inspired by yours. Maybe you’ll motivate me to write more frequently!
Anyway, I hope you are getting some sleep!
🙂

Hi Maria,
I recently launched http://www.newyorksportsconnection.com. The site and its weekly newsletter are designed to be a resource for parents of sports-playings kids in NYC. The site helps parents discover sports options for their children while the weekly newsletter lists upcoming tryouts, registration/sign-up periods and other sports-related activities so they don’t miss deadlines to sign their kids up.
Maybe you could help me spread the word about this new resource for parents.

Maria, I love your blog. I too am a young mom in Manhattan with two little kiddies and looked for, and recently created, my own way to document their lives. I started Jack’s Gems, archival coffee table books of children’s artwork. It tracks the individual little artist’s development and state of mind in a cohesive format that is super stylish and like a yearbook, can continually be revisited. Do you have any advice for me as I am just starting out? I’d like to reach as many mommies as possible! Thanks, and please visit me at http://www.jacksgems.com
