One of the perks of living in the Boogie Down borough is that The Bronx Zoo is practically in my backyard. It’s one of our favorite places to visit through out the year and being members (we were members even before I was part of The Zoo Crew), it’s an easy family outing. There is always something going on at The Bronx Zoo that will appeal to the entire family.

Since we’ve done our family vacation already, we are looking for local things to do in and around New York. And I can’t get any more local than The Bronx Zoo. It’s a great outing for any familia in and around NYC. And if you’re thinking of visiting the Zoo over the long July 4th weekend, I am super excited to share that the Latin Grammy winning sensation Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band will be performing live at the Bronx Zoo on 7/4, 7/5 and 7/6. And I’m even more excited to offer a Bronx Zoo Lucky Diaz Prize Pack to one of our readers that includes the following:

   — Free admission to The Bronx Zoo (up to 6 tickets)
   — Priority seating for the Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band performance
   — Photo opportunity with Lucky Diaz and Band following performance
   — Lucky Diaz CD and other Bronx Zoo giveaways

This Fourth of July weekend, join Latin Grammy Award-winning trio Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band for a special East Coast appearance at the Bronx Zoo. This popular children’s band features indie music sounds that are rooted in their whimsical and child-friendly imaginations. 


The all-star group recently made live appearances on CNN, Sprout, and Univision and is coming straight off a nationwide tour. This husband and wife duo, Lucky Diaz and Alisha Gaddis, has been named ‘THE face of kindie music’ by the Washington Post, ‘SUPERSTARS’ by Red Tricycle, ‘The Rolling Stones of Kids Music’ by the Style Network, and PEOPLE Magazine called their album “The #1 COOLEST kids music!” 


Other awards and honors include: 

   — Latin Grammy Winner: Best Children’s Album — ¡Fantastico! 
   — Multiple Parents Choice Gold Awards 
   — Winner National Parenting Publication (NAPPA) Gold Awards 
   — #1 Song of the Year — ‘Thingamajig’ from Lishy Lou and Lucky Too 
   — Best Live Kids Band — Cooper and Kid 
   — #1 Guest of the Year — Sprout TV (PBS) Chica Show 

Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band lights up the stage with their many #1 Sirius XM Kids Place Live hits. Iconic brand Coca-Cola chose their song “Falling” as their national summer campaign anthem, playing it on television and in movie theaters everywhere. 


Get ready for a hip-shaking, head-bopping, dance party explosion of indie fresh pop rock beats! Join us for the interactive show. Based on their award-winning recordings, it includes a range of themes aimed at exploring all of the wonder and joy in a young person’s life.

    I love the location and convenience of being able to bring my kids on a quick 10 min ride away from home to experience the animals an attractions that I got to experience as a kid. Seeing it again through the eyes of my kids is priceless! They also have some awesome Toddler and Children classes and camps!

I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally got to skate in them for real. “Why do my skates feel funny?” I wondered. I assumed it was because I’m not used to roller skates. So I spent the first 15 minutes skating with my skates on the wrong feet 🙄😐🤦🏻‍♀️ but once I fixed them - skating was a little bit easier. 🤣🤣
When the student becomes the teacher… I got to w When the student becomes the teacher… I got to workout with one of my (favorite) former students this morning! From the moment I met her 2 years ago, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. In the classroom, she is enthusiastic, bright, confident and strong. But at the gym she’s next level! Mel really pushed me today and I know I’ll feel it tomorrow. It wasn’t easy keeping up with this 19 year old. I held my own up until she said 20 minutes on the stair master after our work out. I lasted 5 minutes and then did 15 on the elliptical. 🫠🫠 And obviously we needed a quick locker room photo shoot. 🤣 Also…I don’t know if it’s the angle or the lighting but I can’t believe my arms/back look like that! 😳🥹

Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaq Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaquino on the 6 train. By page 5, I had to close the book and take a minute to absorb the words on the page. Ok ok ok, I also may have begun tearing up a bit. I love when a book makes me feel. There are times when I come across a book, and the words are exactly what I need at that precise moment. This is that book, this is the time. “The only way out for you is through.” 🤍

He sent me a video at 7am - fully dressed in his uniform for his 1pm game - and a text saying he was disappointed. 😕  It’s after 12 and he’s still in his uniform.

Yes. It does. But what feels even better is that I feel strong. Stronger than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Thanks for an amazing class @freelikeoj_allday & @tiabrooks_0106 for always offering to take a picture.

Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summe Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summer clothes. I found 3 dresses that I’ve had forever - probably 15 years. They were probably only worn once. I held on to them, even though I couldn’t fit into them. Because I knew one day, I would fit into them again. Over the last 2 years, I’ve lost some weight but they still didn’t fit last summer. When I tried them on this week, they fit! I haven’t been able to fit into these dresses in more than a decade. And so yesterday I put on the blue dress. I didn’t go anywhere spectacular. I wasn’t on a date. I visited a friend in the neighborhood, went to a meeting and then White Castle (don’t judge me). When I first bought this dress and when it fit, I held on to it - waiting for an occasion. I refuse to do that. I’m not waiting for a man to take me out, or a party or an event. If I want to wear something, I will wear it. I am the special occasion. I am the event. I am worth getting dressed up for. 

Also - I realize that holding on to clothing for 15 years hoping it will fit again is probably not normal. But oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
