I am so excited to launch my first edition of Hot Houses. I knew when I saw this new listing in Livingston I wanted it to be the first feature I showcased. It is definitely a must see! Once you step inside this gorgeous custom home, you may not want to leave.  Located in the prestigious Riker Hill section of… Read More

As a follower of my blog you probably know I am a little into everything. But one of my true passions is real estate. I am constantly browsing the MLS, the New York Times real estate section and when I am out east I read through all of the Hampton real estate magazines . Even though I am not searching… Read More

Parker had been begging me since June for his birthday party to be at Sky Zone. Every day he would come home from camp and ask me if I booked the party yet and every day I would say, “No, not yet.” It wasn’t because I didn’t want to him to have it there I just did not think it… Read More

It’s 3:48am. I’m freezing. I think that is partly why I am up staring at the ceiling wondering why I decided to live in this weather. These are my thoughts: 1. Novartis. Every single time it snows I get a call from Novartis about the delayed opening in their office. They ring my house at 5:30am. Yup. 5:30am. First of… Read More

Remember my Best of 2013? Well it’s that time again! This year I am adding some new topics and taking out some of the old.  I also thought this should actually be called my favorites. Because who says they are the best? Me? So I think a better title would be MY FAVORITES OF 2014! Most are from Essex County… Read More

When I first heard of Bari, I thought people were talking about a certain type of Barre class. Actually no. Bari is named after an indigenous tribe in Venezuela that embodies a family like community-centric culture. When you become part of Bari, you understand what I am talking about. It is a family in the truest sense. I really had no… Read More

First and foremost a few notes about Homeland: 1. I know I am going to hell but they really need to do something about Frannie. I can’t bear to watch..Couldn’t they have found a cuter baby? Ugh. 2. Did I mention I LOVE Quinn? 3. The world’s worst season finale, EVER. Boy, did they drop the ball. I haven’t read… Read More

If you have been to Morristown and walked around, I am positive you have walked by the historic Vail Mansion. Personally, I have walked by Vail Mansion numerous times but because it is set back so far from the street I never really paid much attention to it. That is until I heard it was becoming a restaurant. Chris Cannon, a… Read More

SPOILER ALERT!! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DID NOT WATCH EPISODE 8 A note about Homeland…Quinn is my Romeo. Speaking of Romeo, it was very  interesting that The Affair opened up with Noah (from his point of view) discussing “Romeo and Juliet”, the forbidden love affair. How ironic. Noah focuses on how Romeo and Juliet was a comedy and… Read More

Everybody needs a vacation once and awhile to get away from all of the madness of our hectic life. Sometimes my vacations include me locking myself in the bathroom for 20 minutes with a book. Sometimes my vacations are simply my weekly 30 minute blowouts. These 20, 30, hour minute vacations are necessary for me to be a somewhat sane… Read More

I was out to dinner last week with a bunch of friends and we were all bullshitting. Typical Saturday night recap. How was your week? What’s new? Me asking: Have you started watching The Affair? Transparent? What book are you reading? blah blah. A friend of mine mentioned a podcast he was listening to that he thinks I will love…. Read More

Cory Vines is being labeled the… Read More

One of my favorite blogs of the year I write is my holiday gift guide. I am always looking for gifts that are new, unique, and useful. I  think the worst gift is when someone buys you a gift that you know you will NEVER EVER use but you feel so bad telling them you store it in a drawer… Read More

*SPOILER ALERT – DO NOT READ  THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED EPISODE 7! A note on Homeland…I was on the edge of my seat the entire show until the last 3 minutes when we see the Taliban’s plan to take the embassy. It seems a little far-fetched  that you can use bull cutters to break into the U.S. Embassy and just… Read More
