The Divalysscious Classport !



Rock, Rattle & Roll!







What is the Divalysscious Classport?

The DivaClassport is a passport to the best of the best in NYC upper east side classes for new moms and babes (ages 2 months - 11 months). We know these are the BEST classes as we've surveyed over 1,000 of our moms and had them give us their top picks. Every day, new moms email Divalysscious to ask about what classes they should take, where they should be having their birthday parties, and the list goes on and on. By offering a classport of the best from our research allows our new moms the exposure of other moms research and a "tasting menu" from which to choose the classes that suit your needs.

* bisphenol-A (BPA), an estrogen-like compound used in shatterproof, polycarbonate baby bottles, that poses a risk to brain development in babies and children. Studies of newborn animals showed low doses of BPA cause structural changes in the brain that trigger learning deficits and hyperactivity

* which bottles and formulas are safe?!

*what does it mean to look for numbers on the bottom of the bottles?

* is there a reasonable alternative to limit BPA exposure to our babies/children?!

* will explain what BPA-free bottles mean and what we should be using to feed our children with

NATALIE GEARY, MD is the creator of vedaPURE™ A pediatrician, a graduate of Harvard and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

A Kid's Life! is a heart warming musical featuring contagious toe-tapping music, dazzling dance, and a colorful cast of larger-than-life characters teaching positive messages.We begin by meeting Zack, an adorable five-year old boy, his golden retriever and best friend, Starsky. Together, they embark on a fun-filled adventure through their hometown where they befriend Zoe, a spunky five- year old girl who is new to town and rather shy. Over the course of the day, Zack and Zoe encounter many new friends: from a talking clock who teaches them the importance of time, to a beautiful owl who reminds them that animals have feelings too, to an orange tree that gives them a deeper appreciation of nature. Mr. Sullivan, the corner store clerk, joins the fun by showing them just how wonderful A Kid's Life! can be! This feel-good musical is sure to get you moving. A Kid's Life! is a delight for the whole family.

Our Divalysscious Moms BEST OF PARENTING series continues! Join us with author Lisa Guernsey as she discusses her book:

Into the Minds Of Babes: How Screen Time Affects Children From Birth to Age Five




Gymtime (Library)
1520 York Avenue, NYC
(btwn York and The East River)

It is not enough to simply say, "Turn it off." Turn off what? When? Why? At exactly what age? To set reasonable limits, parents want answers. They want to know if there is any real scientific basis to alarms about the harm of television. They want to go beyond headlines about attention deficit disorders, learn at what age language skills can be learned from video and software, and understand what exactly is "educational" about educational TV. Debates are raging about videos that are aimed at babies, toddlers and preschoolers, but what do scientists really know about their impact? To learn more, our guest speaker and author Lisa Guernsey visited infant- perception laboratories, child development centers and social-science conferences around the country. She interviewed industry leaders at Noggin, Disney, Nickelodeon, Sesame Workshop and PBS. And visited with several families in their living rooms and interviewed scores more. Much of what she found flies in the face of conventional wisdom.

Wine, Appetizers and Desserts will be served

*Please note this evening event is perfect for all moms/ expectant moms/dads/caregivers and tots. Children are welcome to the event! Books will be signed and available to purchase

Tuesday Nov 6 (6:30pm - 8:30pm - almost at capacity):

Join us for our Divalysscious Moms "Best of Parenting" series, where we discuss: Potty Training, the Do's and Dont's!


74th St. MAGIC (party room)
510 East 74th St (york and east river), NYC

It probably seems like just yesterday that you changed your toddler's first diaper, and now you're wondering if it's time to start toilet training. There's no magic age at which children are ready to start learning how to use the potty, but some develop the necessary physical and cognitive skills between 18 and 24 months of age. Many parents don't start potty training until their children are 2 1/2 to 3 years old, when daytime bladder control has become more reliable. And some children aren't interested in potty training until they're closer to 3, or even 4.


Our Guest Speaker: JACQUELINE POMO, CSW

wine, appetizers and desserts will be served

*Please note this evening event is perfect for all moms/dads/caregivers and tots. Children are welcome to the event! *Space is limited to the first 40 adults to rsvp*

Thursday, October 25th
6:30pm-8:30pm
FAO SCHWARZ 767 Fifth Avenue, NYC
(in the party room)


Please join us for a Q& A with two guest experts:
Ed Schmults/President and CEO of FAO Schwarz & Dr. Natalie Geary/ A Top NYC Pediatrician, a graduate of Harvard College and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

With more than 20 million toys manufactured in China recalled for lead paint and other hazards recently and some children being hospitalized after swallowing the magnets of recalled toys - a lot more parents are looking carefully at what they buy and where it comes from. But it is not easy to find many exceptions to the rule that most toys come from China. What are we as parents supposed to do? Where do we draw the line between cautionary and crazy? When a Mattel toy is recalled for having lead paint, should they avoid just that toy, or all Mattel toys, or all painted toys from China, or all toys from China? How do I protect my kids from lead poisoning? When should I get my child tested for lead and how do I go about doing this?
What are the actual risks of lead poisoning? How is the lead in my child's blood measured?

*These are just a few of the questions that both Ed and Dr. Geary will be addressing*

Cost: $45.00 per parent
$90.00 per couple

Wine, Appetizers and Desserts will be served

Children do not come with operating instructions, but if they did, The Three P's of Parenting would probably be it. A child expert of 20 years, Dr. Jennifer Jones takes parents inside the minds and lives of children to reveal the three types of behavioral "signals" that all children send and few parents recognize.

Learn how the secret to a happy relationship with your child is right in front of you. Dr. Jones' discussion demystifies parenting with clear, simple, eye-opening explanations of what motivates children as they move from tot to teen.

Wine, Appetizers and Desserts will be served

Mama Knows Breast: A Beginner's Guide to Breastfeeding
Be the first moms to receive the new "must have book for breastfeeding moms" a gift for you!





Talk about your Breastfeeding questions and concerns from the PRO!






Guest Speaker, Andi Silverman is the author of Mama Knows Breast: A Beginner's Guide to Breastfeeding (Quirk Books, September 15, 2007).

This comforting handbook is filled with advice, humor, and support from women who have experienced the ups and downs of breastfeeding and "life" with an infant. Andi also runs the popular blog www.mamaknowsbreast.com, a site that features breastfeeding news, tips and anecdotes. The Mama Knows Breast blog was voted one of the Top 100 Mom Blogs by Mother's Day Central (www.mothersdaycentral.com). Andi was first inspired to breastfeed by her mom. While her mom breastfed her brother, Andi occupied herself with a doll and toy diaper bag. Of course she ran into some problems "feeding" her doll. So it wasn't until thirty-plus years later, that Andi learned the ropes for real with back-to-back pregnancies. Her sons, who are eighteen months apart, taught her the fundamentals of the "milky way."

Divalysscious Moms will provide Dinner, Beverages (Mommy Mocktails) Gift Bags, Divalfabulous Raffle Prizes & the first 30 Expectant moms to RSVP will also go home with a signed copy of the book!
$60.00 per expectant mom

Four bored, privileged L.A. housewives make a pact: each woman agrees to indulge in a year-long extra-marital affair, leading them to happiness, misery, a lot of great sex, and even murder in this hilarious and biting solo debut by a co-author of The Right Address and Wolves in Chic Clothing. In THE INFIDELITY PACT Carrie Doyle Karasyov uses her wry eye and an insider's view of Los Angeles' wealthy and occasionally desperate housewives, to deliver a novel that is by turns poignant and funny--a work that is sure to be the most-talked-about summer read on the left and right coasts and everywhere in-between.

To address their general malaise, at the suggestion of the least happily married of their bunch, four wealthy L.A. housewives decide to each have a year-long extra-marital affair. Each others husbands are declared off limits and the four are to confide only in each other on the theory that illicit affairs cause trouble partly because word gets out. And so the four embark--two eagerly, one cautiously, and one reluctantly--on perilous romantic paths that lead to blackmail, social climbing, revenge, drugs, a mix of joy and guilt, and--miraculously--only one divorce.

About the author:
Carrie Doyle Karasyov is the co-author (along with Jill Kargman) of The Right Address and Wolves in Chic Clothing. After spending several years in Santa Monica, California, she's back in her native New York along with her husband and two sons.

Back by popular demand! - Divalysscious Moms Potty Pro Breakfast @ Alice's Tea Cup (East side event)!





Alice's Tea Cup, 156 East 64th St btw Lex and 3rd

Join us as our Divalysscious Moms Breakfast series continues, where we discuss: Potty Training, the Do's and Dont's!




It probably seems like just yesterday that you changed your toddler's first diaper, and now you're wondering if it's time to start toilet training. There's no magic age at which children are ready to start learning how to use the potty, but some develop the necessary physical and cognitive skills between 18 and 24 months of age. Many parents don't start potty training until their children are 2 1/2 to 3 years old, when daytime bladder control has become more reliable. And some children aren't interested in potty training until they're closer to 3, or even 4.


Our Guest Speaker: Patti Sayer

Patti Sayer is a licensed social worker and school psychologist. Patti has her own private practice on the Upper East Side, where she conducts parenting groups and workshops. Patti is a parent educator at Central Synagogue and Temple Israel. Additionally, Patti has two children of her own, and has coached MANY MOMS on Potty Training!!

Divalysscious Moms 2 Part Breakfast Series - Sleep & Eating Routines (event almost at capacity)




Alice's Tea Cup
156 East 64th St btw Lex and 3rd
(Upstairs in the fairy room)







Divalysscious Moms and tots are cordially invited to a very special Sleep and Routines Breakfast Series. Join us for our Divalysscious Moms Breakfast Series, where we discuss:

Sleeping and Eating Routines
Understand the developmental needs of your child as they relate to sleeping and eating routines. Develop approaches that allow you to have effective routines for you and your family. Theory, routines,sleeping through the night, transition to bed, staying in the bed, parent leaving the room will all be discussed.
*Please note we have divided this breakfast into two parts because there is a lot to cover on both of these subjects, and we want to make sure that Jacqueline talks for an hour and she answers all of your wonderful and important questions.

Most parents of infants understand that night waking and feeding is simply part of the job. And yet, when baby is born, many parents are shocked at how deeply they are affected by sleep deprivation. Furthermore, many parents are equally shocked to discover that night waking typically lasts well into the toddler years. It always seems that your neighbor's kids slept through the night at an incredibly early age and yet you can't seem to get your child to sleep for more than 4 or 5 hours at night without waking up at least once. You've obviously done something wrong and sleep deprivation has driven you to seek some expert advice. So you head to the book store and buy every single sleep expert book you can find--only to find that nothing really works for your child. You're already losing sleep. . .before you loose your mind consider why your child might be waking up and formulate a plan that addresses his needs. We have the Sleep Expert and Eating Expert on hand to address all of your questions!

Our Guest Speaker: JACQUELINE POMO, CSW

Jacqueline Pomo, CSW has specialized in early child development, both typical and atypical, and the unique experience of parenting. She has extensive training in both psychology and education, with seasoned experience in private practice, research, early intervention and school setting. Individual consultations are available by appointment. Ongoing parent discussion groups are now forming.

Each mom will be served a Delysscious breakfast w/ teas and scones, Divafabulous raffle prizes and gift bags!

*Please note this breakfast is perfect for all moms and we welcome babies/ tots. (please specify if a highchair is needed)

Divalysscious Moms & Tots are invited to a advanced screening of SHREK THE THIRD, the most highly anticipated children's film of the summer!

When Shrek married Fiona, the last thing he had in mind was becoming the next King. But when Shrek's father-in-law, King Harold, suddenly croaks, that is exactly what he faces. Unless Shrek (with the help of his trusted companions Donkey and Puss In Boots) can find a suitable King for Far Far Away, the ogre could be stuck with the job. The most promising candidate, Fiona's cousin Artie, an underachieving Medieval high school slacker, proves to be a more of a challenge than they bargained for.

This month Jill follows up with the Right Address and Wolves in Chic Clothing and now Momzillas, her newest book that all moms have been waiting for!!

The novel takes on competitive New York Mothers, their social snobbery, and the shockingly sanctimonious behavior that goes with it. As an Upper East Sider herself, Kargman the mother of two young girls, is privy to the shenanigans of the ultrarich, but avoids the madness as a self proclaimed "loner mom".

Jill will be talking to the Divalysscious Moms about "nanny jacking", "push presents", "wait-listing an infant for toddler classes", "not gaining baby weight" and some other hysterical stories from the book. This is the perfect chance for you to share your own personal Momzilla story!

**As an added bonus, first 40 Divalysscious Moms who have already rsvp'd will walk away with the hottest summer stroller- the G-Lite - from the style-savvy new stroller line, UPPAbaby. It is simply the lightest umbrella stroller available - perfect for traveling! **

Wednesday April 25th @ 8pm - Divalysscious Moms special theatre event!


Join Divalysscious Moms as we catch a sneak preview of "Mother Load", off-broadway's next hit!!

April 25th at 8pm
SAGE THEATER
711 7th Avenue at 47th Street , NYC


MOTHER LOAD is written and performed by Amy Wilson, a mother of two raising her kids in New York City. "Mother Load" is a humorous exploration of the difficulties of modern motherhood. Even though we have everything at our disposal to help make our lives easier, it's harder than ever to feel like a "good" mother, because the standards have gotten so ridiculously high. "Are you doing EVERYTHING YOU CAN to teach your toddler toread?" asks one ad. Well, of course not, since it's impossible to do EVERYTHING. But how can a mom read that and not feel like she is failing her child? And in a world where a toddler's birthday party must be catered, a stroller costs eight hundred dollars, and nursery school applications require thoughtful essay writing, how can a mom keep her perspective?

Afterwards, Amy will lead us in a lively discussion of the issues the show raises. This is a great opportunity for Divalysscious moms to catch a sneak preview of the next off-Broadway hit! (It opens May 4th)!

$40 per ticket (includes talk back and reception)

@ New York K!DS Club - (67th St btwn 2nd and 3rd, nyc) with author JILL DAVIS!!


Join Divalysscious Moms and tots for this book reading / signing with author Jill Davis with her new book "Ask Again Later":

A witty cut above the still-proliferating chick-lit juggernaut, Ask Again Later, Jill Davis' follow-up to her New York Times best-seller Girls' Poker Night, tracks the perils and payoffs of reverse empty-nest syndrome. When Emily Rhode's high-maintenance mother calls to inform her about an ill-boding lump, our heroine finds the excuse she's been looking for to take a life pass, quitting her job, basically moving home, and ditching her long-suffering boyfriend faster than you can say "regression." It's not giving anything away to say that Mom turns out to be just fine, and that it's Emily who seems to have stumbled into a premature mid-life crisis .Jill Davis burst onto the literary scene with her New York Times bestselling novel, Girls’ Poker Night. Described as “blithe, engaging, off-the-wall funny” by Joan Didion, her debut thoroughly entertained readers with its comedic wit and biting humor. Now Davis, who was nominated for five Emmys during her stint as a writer for the Late Show with David Letterman, is back with ASK AGAIN LATER.

All Divalysscious Tots will play in the supervised gym area with wonderful coaches!!

Cocktail Reception sponsored by V2 Energy Vodka, PlayTime for tots. Food provided by Kidfresh for all tots.
