What can I say? I'm over-the-moon proud of the team at New York Family and how they've grown the annual New York Baby Show (coming up on May 18-19 in NYC) into the biggest show in the Northeast for expecting and new families and their infants and toddlers. I'm not going to list all the wonderful highlights here--which range from Rosie Pope to Radio Disney--but I will say this: Join us! For only $10 per person or $20 per family, you get access to an epic experience full of learning, shopping, support, and fun. Best to check it out for yourself and purchase tickets now: NewYorkBabyShow.com
And when you see me there, walking the aisles of the show, please say hello.
