A Tour of Hillary Clinton’s Brooklyn Campaign Headquarters

June 10, 2016 By Amy Oztan 3 Comments

Yesterday I wrote about meeting Chelsea Clinton to talk about her mom’s campaign. After the meeting was done, I got to take a tour of the campaign headquarters of Hillary for America. The first thing I noticed was that the office was very quiet. While there are rooms with four walls and a door (our…

Charity Begins At Home – Especially When There Are Brownies

August 22, 2013 By Amy Oztan 4 Comments

Fiona has been bugging me since she got back from camp to have a stoop sale. She wanted to sell a bunch of her toys and clothes and give the money to charity. She spent all day yesterday gathering her things and putting price tags on them. I made brownies and lemonade, donating the supplies…

Brooklyn, Baseball, and Racism: My Unintentionally Sheltered Children

April 15, 2013 By Amy Oztan 2 Comments

One of the reasons I love my Brooklyn neighborhood is the diversity. No, I don’t love the occasional shootings, I don’t love the graffiti, I don’t love the garbage. But I love my neighbors. I love my kids’ classmates. I love the playgrounds. I love the feeling. From the time my kids were tiny, they…

I Did Not Move To Brooklyn For The Wildlife

December 12, 2012 By Amy Oztan Leave a Comment

About five years ago some young raccoons tried to get into our house, every morning at 2am, for about two weeks. They would squeeze between our bedroom window and the security bars and scratch on the glass, waking us up (although by the second week, I wasn’t really sleeping). They would make a ton of…

A Mystery On My Stoop

November 26, 2012 By Amy Oztan 7 Comments

We live in the kind of neighborhood where you often wake up to find cigarette butts on your stoop, beer bottles, maybe some candy wrappers. But what I found this morning was much more than a few stray pieces of garbage: Sigh. Honestly, if this had happened yesterday I would have just told my husband…

A few glitches with the commute, and the importance of remaining calm and Rational

September 10, 2012 By Amy Oztan 10 Comments

So on Friday I wrote a post about how, even though it will be stressful for me (I’m a born worrier), it’s important that Jake gets himself to middle school each day. Thousands – hundreds of thousands? – of NYC kids do it, he’ll be fine. Right? I said in the post that I knew…
