BROOKLYN in the HOUSE!

Welcome to Brooklyn Moms Talk!

We're three regular moms living in Brooklyn.  A momprenuer, an artist, and a writer.  We love to talk.  And there's plenty of stuff to talk about in Brooklyn:

Public schools.
Gentrification.
Diversity.
Organic produce.
Street corner bodegas.
Brownstones.
Co-ops.
"Rent is too damn high!"
Playdates.
Public parks.

Oh my!  No, Brooklyn is not the suburbs.  There are no subdivisions, cul de sacs, ubiquitous minivans, and desperate housewives (that we know of).  And some would even argue, not the ideal place to raise children.  Au contraire, au pair (lawd knows we could sure use one of the those!).  From Coney Island to the Botanical Gardens; Brooklyn Bridge Park to Riis Beach; Prospect Park to the New York Aquarium; the Transit Museum to our local public libraries, Brooklyn can be the ideal playground for the well-rounded, cultured, bohemian hip, socially conscious child.

Our children range in ages three through eight.  We own and rent, volunteer at our kids' public school, shop at farmer's markets, the infamous Park Slope Food Co-op, thrift stores, hip boutiques, fancy toy stores, and love every minute of it--save for the occasional brouhaha that's all a Brooklyn brand of crazy.  Along with running a business, freelancing, and art making, we navigate motherhood as socially aware, health conscious, somewhat well-adjusted women raising families in Brooklyn.

Yep, we go hard!

Okay, not so much.  But we try.  Not so tiger mom-ish.  Say, an African hawk eagle mom, a gazelle mom, and a cheetah mom.  We'll explain later...
