expert advice: recipe for a healthy birthday party, from registered dietitian Robyn Flipse

I am a mom of two (Harrison, age 4, and Ava, almost 3). We started a healthy eating plan this September and I am determined to stick with it. Every day we write down how many fruits, veggies, proteins, etc., they eat so we can see if we've had a healthy day. I am not neurotic about it but am just trying to get them thinking in a healthy way. And they are into it, so why not?What throws us off is the birthday parties.

NY Fashion Week comes to Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park, Sept. 9-16

Thumbnail
After years of taking over Bryant Park, the tents are going west to Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park. As a long-time fashion writer and devout attendee of NY Fashion Week, I couldn't be more excited. Aside from the fact that I live steps from the new venue which makes for easy access, I can't wait to check out the line-up of more than 90 of the world's most established and up-and-coming designers who will be presenting their Spring 2011 collections. Shows will include a host of well-known…See More
