Mid mornings to late(ish) afternoons are our peaks here. We are up and out that door exploring while most of you are all sleeping and then we come home and trot out a blog post. It's like our homework and we giggle to ourselves as we tap tappity tap out our posts and then file them with a "IT'S UP" … [Read more...]

What better to do on a Monday morning OTHER than doing the School run and clean the house? Oh, let me see. A run in my fancy new Nikes down the Hudson River as the city woke up. A mani/pedi, an eyebrow wax, some shopping and lunch In NY? Alrighty then!I named today "Maintenance Monday" and first … [Read more...]

So. Here's the thing. I'm in LOVE with this town. And I know earlier in the day I said that I wanted to Live in Brooklyn Heights. That was BEFORE I went to the upper west side. THIS is where I want to live.One of the readers of BabyMac, let's call her Trish, cause that's her name, invited us to … [Read more...]

Last night for a refreshing change, we were in bed early and not blind drunk which meant that we were fresh as Daisies this morning for our Sunday morning trip over to Brooklyn. Because we are ladies, and clearly think we are far fancier than we actually are, we called Percy the driver to come and … [Read more...]

It was a dark and stormy afternoon here so we headed up to the Guggenheim Museum for some culture and indoor activities. This place is another one that has been on my top 5 must do's in NY as I have always been so impressed by the architecture of the building not to mention all the delights … [Read more...]

The thing I love most about travelling is that you are completely out of your comfort zone. Everything is different - the money, the cost of things, the people, culture, shops and restaurants. Slowly but surely you suddenly recognise streets and start to know your way around, you get more confident … [Read more...]

This morning the only place that I walked to was to the fridge, to get water, because I was hung like some kind of dog. American hangovers are NASTY. Mrs W and I had a night on the town, up on the fancy upper east side at a fabulous bar and then an amazingly good meat restaurant but the combo of … [Read more...]

Morning's are always the best time of the day for me. I'm awake and Bam! I'm always ready to start the day. Throw in jet lag and excitement and we can safely say that my day started at 4.50am. I tossed and turned and tried to get back to sleep but that city was luring me out there so I jumped in the … [Read more...]

The thing about flying Business Class is that's it's dangerous. Once you've had a taste, I fear that I may never be able to turn right on a plane again. Yep, it was that good. Mrs Woog and I had the pleasure of flying in the pointy end of the plane on our way over here. I was lucky enough to be … [Read more...]

I just realised that I left my DSLR camera to laptop connector AT HOME. I know, Mrs Woog is just as angry at me as I am at myself. And as you all would be too. I have spent the past 24 hours taking snaps of each meal, each champagne and wine, each sleep and part of the journey so far and now? Well, … [Read more...]

Yesterday I found myself in the fortunate position of driving up to Sydney for lunch with some old friends of mine from my days of finance. I had a great trip up on a picture perfect winters day. I was lucky enough to get an early check in to our room where I sat and soaked up the silence before the … [Read more...]

We have finally hit our holiday straps (of course on the last day). The girls, while annoying and frustratingly needy, they seemed to understand that our threats might lead to something. We ate out three times and we didn't leave once! WINNING. I enjoyed a celebrity moment in Sterling thanks to the … [Read more...]

This was my favourite part of today. Silence.From both children. At the same time. For an hour.Oh holidays! They are wonderful and terrible all at the same time aren't they? I won't go on, but I will, because it's my blog, but the girls have been SO exhausting this holiday. The sheer attitude, … [Read more...]

4.35am is an early start for anyone. Throw in two kids who have been looking forward to going on a plane for weeeeks and it seems even earlier. We left and then went back home (you know when you think you left the heater on then decide to go back only to see that the heater WAS on?). Yes that. … [Read more...]

Our old School road trip holiday to Melbourne and Adelaide has been changed somewhat but is STILL going ahead. Thank goodness. It was remiss of me even to forget to tell you about the plans we had but that's what happens when life throws you a few curve balls.The original plan was to fly down to … [Read more...]

You know what I've just gone and done? Booked our apartment for NYC that's what! When I say our, I mean mine and Mrs Woog. We will be shacking up together for a good week before we move to the hotel for BlogHer. And check out our own little space!It's in Midtown which I have decided is convenient. … [Read more...]

You didn't think that was going to stop me from going to NYC now did you? I didn't think so.You guys! I'm going to New York. I'm going to Blogher. I'm sponsoring myself. I'm going to eat oversized pizza and hot dogs. I'm going to have a coffee in a diner hopefully with a piece of pie. I'm going to … [Read more...]
