Over the past weekend, the hubby and I headed to Playwrights Horizons Mainstage in Manhatten’s theater district to see Assistance – for some much needed adult time.

Just minutes away from curtain call

Brrr…it was a little chilly in the city so excuse the “hurry up and take the photo look”

The backstory is this: horrible bosses! No workplace is fit to stage without one hell of a horrible boss, so consumed by entitlement he is blinded by how he treats and speaks to his “subordinates”…sounds familiar?  Written by Leslye Headland, the play features a talented young cast.

For these young assistants, life is an endless series of humiliations. In rare moments when the boss isn’t phoning in for over the top demands, Nick and Nora (the main cast of characters) and their traumatized co-workers question whether all their work will lead to success — or just more work.
This 60 minute play was a AHA! moment for me…as I too had once asked myself “is my job my life?” or “If I do this one project I’ll surely get recognized”…only later, after much needed soul searching did I learn that none of that mattered and didn’t feel the need to sell myself to the devil along the way.

The hubby and I loving the play and saying “wow, do I act like that?”

Have you recently caught your toddler escaping from his or her crib? Then it may be time to consider making a few changes to your child’s room! Leaving the nursery and moving into a big kid room can be a daunting task for any parent, but with a few simple steps you can make it an easy and memorable transition! Try the following tips and see if they help you create an age appropriate room.

1. Get rid of furniture that you no longer need. This might seem like an obvious one, but you’d be surprised at how many “baby” items are often found still lingering around the room. For example, if your child is a big kid and potty training, why do you still have the changing table? It’s time for that to go! It’s taking up valuable space that you could be using for other things.

2. Cribs don’t belong in a big kid room. I know, I know. It’s hard to let go of your son/daughter’s baby bed, but time marches forward. If you have a little one who is already climbing out of the crib, then it’s definitely time to get a real bed. Some parents prefer a toddler bed, while others go for a single. Keep the amount of space you have available in mind when choosing what works best for you and how long you plan to have them use the bed. Is it meant to last for a few years or all the way to college?

3. Consider repainting the room or adding to what is already there. Nothing says change like a fresh coat of paint! However, if painting isn’t your thing, a simple border around the ceiling or in the center of the wall could make a big difference. Wall murals showing off the latest trend in kid’s movies or something more timeless like Disney princess wall decals often can transform a room in minutes.
