Free Tennis Lessons Here's a win/win. BumbleBee Tennis is providing free tennis lessons in exchange for non-perishable food donations to City Harvest (something you may have wanted to do anyway) as part of their Harvest Hit-Off Food Drive.

NYC Bloggers Do the Holidays I want to alert you in advance to something a little bit different that we are doing tomorrow. Mommy Poppins has teamed up with a dozen of our favorite other NYC-centric blogs to create a special, unique Holiday Guide.
