Where do you shop for your children's toys? Before I had kids of my own, I would shop at big name toy stores because that's all I knew. I don't think I paid less than retail during that time, and I didn't really know the difference between quality toys and run-of-the-mill toys. Now that I have my own children, I know how important quality toys are, as well as the benefits of shopping at local stores. ASTRA is celebrating their 3rd annual ...

War Horse at Lincoln Center
After seeing the play War Horse at Lincoln Center last week, I remember why I enjoy the theater so much and regret not having gone more often in recent years. War Horse was by far one of the most impressive and entertaining plays I have ever seen. The play itself is a work of art, transporting you to a different time and place with a minimal amount of work done to the set. The story itself is a powerful one, that of a young boy and his horse in ...
