I still can’t believe it is November. What I can’t believe even more is that is almost Thanksgiving. It just so happens Thanksgiving is the one holiday I enjoy hosting. I am not stuck with matzoh balls, gefilite fish and brisket. I can really go all out and create a healthy, delicious dinner that leaves everyone feeling full but not… Read More

A little while ago I received an email from Susie Schnall about participating in the Balance Project. I had no idea what she meant because I am FAR from balanced but after Susie explained I knew I had to take part! Susie explains her weekly project as: “The Balance Project is a series of relevant and refreshingly candid interviews featuring… Read More

The last time I was in Napa was over 15 years ago. Greg and I were just dating and we went out to San Fran to visit his brother who was in grad school at the time. Greg, Danny and I decided to go to Napa on a whim. We went when there was no such thing as Uber, actually… Read More

Today I was invited to a preview of Fresh Market before the grand opening tomorrow in Livingston. I have been patiently awaiting for this store to open. The bar was set low when the Pathmark of Livingston, NJ closed several years ago. Therefore, I was extremely surprised to find out that Fresh Market was taking the old, dirty Pathmark’s space… Read More

If you didn’t watch the season premiere yet, don’t read this! But if you did, let’s discuss! 1. The Brody Baby a.ka. Frannie. Did I miss why they named her that? Frannie? Sorry if that is your name but that is a tough name for an infant.  Also not so cute (I know I am going to hell).  Good job… Read More

It’s 3:37am. I am lying in bed thinking about how I can escape to the bathroom without the dog hearing me. Because once I take one foot out of bed he starts crying. I have to PEE!!! While I am contemplating how to pull a Macgyver, here are my thoughts: 1. What the hell am I going to be for… Read More

Pumpkin picking and Hayrides, can’t you feel it in the air? I can’t believe it’s time again… I was skimming through my emails and came across this awesome day Jeff Lake is having October 12th! I am always looking for things to do with my kids on the weekend and thought I would pass this on especially if you are… Read More

Shit show. Absolute shit show yesterday morning. I should have known, right?  It’s Rosh Hashanah. It was like this in my house growing up and it has not changed one iota. Same fighting, same stress, same silence in the car on the way to temple. This year’s Rosh Hashana Sept. 24, 2014 – The Selling Home 7:00am: wakeup ( Services… Read More

As many of you know I have started 21 Day Challenge groups which I am running in a closed Facebook group each month. You can learn more about them this week  after I finish making the youtube video but figured I would share my healthy Rosh Hashanah recipes I am recommending to the group.  I am not so sure my… Read More

Every season I love to throw a house party… Sometimes it is hard to shop in a store and it’s nicer to shop in someone’s home. I love supporting local vendors and I thought it was about that time to have another vendor event!!! Without further ado….. PLEASE SAVE THE DATE  – SEPTEMBER 30th 9:30am-2pm     Kale & Co… Read More

It’s 3am, actually it’s 3:47am. Drinking all of this water makes me pee at night. Once I am up, I’m up. I wish I was one of those special people who could pee, get back in bed and wake up 3 hours later. Not a chance. Here are my thoughts…. 1. I was so touched reading where everyone was on… Read More

I didn’t want another dog. We had one. Unfortunately he only lived until 6 and passed away of cancer. It was traumatic, sad and unnerving to explain to your 4 year-old son his dog was sick and passed too soon. I fought tooth and nail for years. I kept saying that I had two kids and I wasn’t ready for… Read More

It’s 3:18am. I am on vacation. BUT if luck would have it somehow my dog caught kennel cough and he has been up for two nights straight, coughing. It sounds like there is a gorilla in the house. I have NO idea how my kids sleep through it. Greg brought some nifty ear plugs with him which leaves me up… Read More

The first concert my parents took me to was in 1985. It was Madonna’s, “The Virgin Tour.” It was so big, the concert made the big 3 News Channels in Philly.  My favorite part of  one the news reports was the “look-a likes”. My 10-year old body is somewhere in that mix and I could be any one of those… Read More
