The Raising of the Soft and Entitled… aka the Millennials…. By Vicky Dal Molin
July 21st, 2015
It hit me recently that I have been playing into what I have come to realize has become a generation of parents who just don’t parent anymore. Where and when did having to actually parent disappear? It’s a Saturday afternoon and my almost 3 year old decides to start arguing with me ...

Sporting Prowess? Maybe in the Past! – by Vicky Dal Molin
February 3rd, 2015
I was reading an article today, that started making me think about whether I have been wearing rose coloured classes when I think about what it would be like to raise a child in Australia today compared to here in NY. My memories of being raised in Australia are so ...
2015… Off to a “Firing” Start! By Vicky Dal Molin
January 27th, 2015
I cannot believe we are in a new year and it has been such a long time since I last sat down and gave myself enough time to write. When did we all become so…. Well for want of a better phrase “time poor”. Work/Life/Kids/Holidays has meant such a shortage ...
Show Review: Big Apple Circus “Metamorphosis” by Margaret Hart
November 16th, 2014
To me, the circus is ubiquitous with childhood. Like Apple Pie and Lemonade, it never goes out of style. But for some kids, like my soon-to-be, 10-year-old son, the mention of the circus gets me a “been there, done that” response. These days, teetering on 10, if there isn't an ...

A Letter of Thanks by Vicky Dal Molin
September 23rd, 2014
I used to think Air travel was an excruciating process…. Until that is when I travelled with a 2 year old. I was indeed made to learn that air travel can be far more agonizing than I could possible have imagined. So I started penning a letter to all the airlines, ...
There’s no place like home…. By Vicky Dal Molin
September 16th, 2014
My last post was all about time management (or seeming lack thereof in my life these days). So what happens when you take that time-poor existence and then try and transport it with a 2 year old half way around the world? Well effectively more poor time management but what I ...
Tick Tick Tick…. Where does time go? By Vicky Dal Molin
September 9th, 2014
So it’s been quite a while since I last wrote and for that I feel extremely slack and take full responsibility for. I just cannot believe how much time has passed by without me realizing. I kept putting off and putting off finishing my blog each week and now we ...
