As New Jersey editor, I am very excited to tell you about something that I'm doing--in New York City. If you're looking for a wonderful and unusual way to spend Mother's Day, consider coming out to the "Listen To Your Mother" reading series at Symphony Space! Showcasing moving, socially relevant and hilarious stories about motherhood from moms, non-moms and even a couple of dudes, "Listen To Your Mother" will be a memory-making end to the day that honors mothers everywhere. (Which means New Jersey, too, as there are five NJ writer/performers in the show!) Read on for all the exciting details about this Mommy Poppins-sponsored show.

Our monthly GO! List has quickly become one of Mommy Poppins NJ's most popular features, probably because wise New Jersey parents like to plan ahead. We carefully choose 8 to 10 of our absolute faves for the upcoming month and May is full of delightfully spring-y activities like kite flying, horseback riding, baseball, some fireworks and a favorite Mommy Poppins exhibit which will be closing this month. Enjoy and Happy May!
 

Our monthly GO! List has quickly become one of Mommy Poppins NJ's most popular features, probably because wise New Jersey parents like to plan ahead. We carefully choose 8 to 10 of our absolute faves for the upcoming month, and April is full of festivals, special shows, one of our favorite exhibits that's drawing to a close, and flowers, flowers everywhere. Happy Spring and GO, New Jersey!

It's Easter Weekend, it's early, and it's cold enough to snow on the Parade, but there are a plethora of outdoor and indoor events for New Jersey families to enjoy, nonetheless. Egg Hunts abound, StarKid and Children of the Moon are beckoning from the Newark Museum, and there's even an "antidote to sugar" event, so get out and have fun! Read on for our top picks and remember, you can always find a listing of all NJ activities in our Event Calendar.

I'm glancing out my back door at the snow as I write--Happy First Weekend of Spring! Take heart, NJ, this wacky weather can't last forever. Hopefully this weekend as we hunt for eggs, celebrate Earth Hour, decorate cookies or geocache, the sun will be shining and winter will be a distant memory. Um, hopefully. Read on for our top picks for the weekend of March 23-24 and find a listing of all NJ activities in our Event Calendar.
