Mother’s day. Every Mother’s Day we do the same thing. Drive into the city, grab brunch at Barney Greengrass or Sable’s and have a picnic in Central Park. Simple, easy and chill. We do Mother’s day with my mother-in-law the day before and since my mother’s birthday is May 5th, I normally celebrate her birthday and mother’s day the weekend… Read More

Last month was crazy. Between the 40th Birthdays and the traveling I do not think I have really had any alone time with Greg. It has been a whirlwind of activities. Greg and I needed a night! I have been dying to go to A Toute Heure  ever since I wrote about 100 Steps a few month ago. One of… Read More

After Passover and Spring Break I needed a detox. I didn’t want to do a juice cleanse because I like to eat and I needed something that was portable, manageable, easy and delicious. I did some research and came across Kale & Co. Before I even get into this whole post, I have to tell you that if I could… Read More

I am the world’s worst flier. Worst. Something about having no control and knowing that if god forbid something did happen my chances of survival are slim.Yeah, that about sums it up. When you become a parent though, you have to somehow hide all that scaredy catness. I can’t find a way to do that. My kids laugh at me… Read More

3am – as always – I can’t sleep. These are my thoughts I am getting on a plane in 5 hours,  I need to sleep but I can’t so maybe if I write down everything I am thinking about I can fall back to sleep for an hour or so. MAYBE.  If I don’t, it is going to be an… Read More

I am  always searching for Passover recipes. I prefer the ones that I am not slaving in the kitchen  for hours but everybody thinks I did! Here are a few of my fave: First one is the 4 ingredient Miracle Bar I posted on Facebook: INGREDIENTS 2 cups ground almonds 1 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 1 cup chocolate chips… Read More

It is a tiny drive but there is parking in the back and they are SUPER FAST! I dropped them off on… Read More

I am so happy it’s spring but…. But what? Sports.  I have a 7 and a 9-year-old who play sports. BOTH play soccer and baseball. In spring this is DEADLY. Why? This is why….today, Parker (7-year-old) has soccer from 4-5 and then he has baseball 5:45-6:45. Zach has a baseball game at 5:45. Okay, I am one person. I can’t… Read More

About a month ago, my good friend, Dara,  asked me to go with her to take a new class in Montclair. The studio, Corefire,  just opened a few weeks prior and she was RAVING about it.  She told me it was kind of like pilates but way harder and the class left you sweating by the end. It is meant… Read More

It has been a BRUTAL winter. I know I am not the only one who is awaiting a week full of 70 degrees and sun. Last week I decided it was time to get into spring mode. I went for a facial and a body scrub to remove all the dry skin that has built up over the horrific winter…. Read More

Good Morning!  This is the first Saturday I can remember I am not in yoga. Not happy about it but with spring comes biking. Greg is an avid rider so we now have to switch on Saturday who gets to work out. Just sucks because I miss morning yoga with super yoga man, Joey, who I now love.  Okay enough… Read More

Graduation from high school 1993 – my aunt told me she had a special present for me. She handed me a wrapped box of brownies. I looked at her like jeez, thanks. Am I 5? She looked back at me and said they are not what you think. Be careful, share the first one with a friend. Good luck at… Read More

I had a moment today. I know we have all had these.  Noa began his Soul Cycle class with  “Angie” by the Stones (stop reading this blog right now if you don’t know this song. You should be embarrassed). It was the perfect  way to start the 5pm class. 5pm is a TOUGH time on a Friday but I need… Read More

After three weeks on the clean cleanse, changing my skin care, my doctors and my household cleaners, I looked into a way I could bring farm to table to my actual “dinner table.” I read about a lot of different options but what I found was right under my nose. I am sure many of you know about Farm &… Read More
