Six months ago I received a Save the Date for a 40th Birthday Party.  I love 40th Birthday parties. I read somewhere that the forties are the best years of your life. I will be 40 in 7 months. I am not counting down. When I got the invite I smiled from ear to ear. I love when people think… Read More

Trader Joe’s is one of my favorite markets. The prices can’t be beat and they have lots of great finds. I think everyone should have a guide to the goodies at Trader Joe’s. It is the kind of store you walk into and have no idea what to buy. Not because their items are so out of this world,  it’s… Read More

Here we are again! Father’s day is around the corner….have you thought about gifts? Are you too busy with the end of the year craziness to worry about Father’s Day at this moment? Well, it will be here before you know it so I figured maybe I could help you with a gift decision! No man is the same but normally… Read More

It’s 3am – instead of this fox screaming, I have the parrot jungle outside of my window or maybe 30 hummingbirds. When I moved from the city to the suburbs I didn’t realize I was moving to the zoo. These are my thoughts:   First thing I did was check Facebook at 3am, not sure why, it’s just habit. You… Read More

It is 30 somethng days until the camp bus leaves. What have I done to prepare? Nada…yet. But that is me. Every week I say I will print out the list, go through Zach’s clothes from last year and see what still fits him and figure out what he did not bring home from last summer. I HAVE to do… Read More

It’s 3am. There is a fox outside of my window screaming like a lunatic. These are my thoughts If one ever wanted to know what the fox says, they should spend a night in my bedroom since one lives in my backyard. I still haven’t packed one person in my house and we are leaving for the beach first thing,… Read More

I am not ashamed to tell you that my big highlight of the week is the blowout. I HATE drying my hair. I don’t have the patience, the time, the energy and on top of it I can’t do it. I suck at it. PERIOD. I will not make excuses. I constantly end up with a lump in the back… Read More

My Day Yesterday: My cell rings and I have no clue what number it is so I forward it to voicemail. Yeah, if I don’t recognize the number, you are going straight to voice mail. You will have much better luck if you text me. I always text back. fast. It is a 917 number which means 1 of 2… Read More

Sunday is usually my baking and prep day for the week.  I find that if I can shop, prep and make what I need for the week I am the most successful. Does this happen every week? God no. But summer is rolling around, bathing suit season and I know I have to get my ass in gear. I always… Read More

It’s 3am, I can’t sleep, these are my thoughts: Went to Billy  Joel’s 65th Birthday Concert at MSG. Amazing night.  Although I had no idea I was going until 5pm that night as I scrambled for a sitter, someone to pick up my kids at a birthday party, shower, blow out my hair and make it a 6:17 train, I… Read More

I have the worst time buying bathing suits. Not only because I HATE trying them on but I also find it impossible to find a bathing suit that fits right. Either my tush is hanging out the back or my boobs are not big enough to fit in the top, etc. Just a mess. I only wish my tush was this perfect!… Read More

I have been to a lot of yoga studios. From Montclair to Chatham to Summit. I won’t count the studios I have been to on vacation because they are always one and done. I have learned after many years of practicing yoga: 1) I am just okay. Yoga is about patience. Getting there is easy but learning is hard. I… Read More

Everyday 3pm I fall apart. I have a healthy breakfast, healthy snack, healthy lunch and then 3:00pm rolls around and I’m off the wagon, completely. Every. Single. Day. It’s true. I have tried shakes, veggies with hummus, veggies with guac, but I still crave more. The Kale & Co detox I just did recently came with these protein balls that… Read More

If there is one thing I wish I could go back and do when I gave birth to  Zach and Parker it would have been to hire a newborn photographer. I think when I had kids a decade ago, newborn photographers were not a “thing”.  I had family pics taken but not the professional newborn pics you see on Facebook… Read More
