This week is dedicated to Back to School. It will be short but it will be filled with lots of fun information. Instead of focusing on the kids today, I thought we could focus on the man in our life. It may not be back to school for him but it is back to work and the start of a… Read More

I pushed out two boys. Two amazing, beautiful boys! I live for them. They make me laugh, cry, scream, lose my shit and smile from ear to ear. They have that effect on me. I am sure your kids do as well. I didn’t get the girl, as you know, so I live vicariously through my friends who have girls…. Read More

I am not going to lie, the thing I look forward to most during any high holiday service is the sermon.  95% of the reason we chose the temple we belong to is the rabbi. There is something about a rabbi who really gets it.  It is not that he is just familiar with our town or what is going… Read More

The holidays are upon us and I feel like if I eat one more fattening thing I may explode. I live for the end of the summer and vacationing but it always becomes an eating fest. Every single year, after eating terribly for 7-10 days, I come home and say  “Okay, it is time to go on a major diet”!… Read More

Now that the summer has come to an end and the kids are back to school, well some of ours, the refreshing has stopped. At this point, the adjustment period is over and the kids are in school mode. I can’t say my kids are excited to return to school but I am ready for them to go back. I… Read More

When I was in 6th grade, spin the bottle was all the rage. I remember vividly sitting in my friend Stacey’s basement. It was 3 girls, 3 boys. I secretly was hoping the bottle would land on Justin but it landed on Matt. Ugh. This gamed turned into 7 minutes in heaven which seriously was the most awkward game ever…. Read More

I like to do 3 things on vacation: chill, read and eat. I didn’t list the 4th because it depends what kind of vacation I am on. This week is one of those vacations where I could do it or not. I look forward to this week every year. A time to be with the family, away from the drama… Read More

Cupcakes, Donuts, Cookies, Oh MY! As if there is not enough desserts in the world to choose from, Treat House has introduced something pretty fab. Rice Krispie Treats have been around since I was in diapers. We see them at the bake sales, kids parties and playdates but I do not think anybody  has seen a Rice Krispie treat like… Read More

Zach receives his Bar Mitzvah date this year. I feel ancient. I only feel this way because I remember mine like it was yesterday. My Bat Mitzvah took place in 1988. It was a time of big hair, satin dresses, suits and bands. If you haven’t had your kids mitzvah yet OR if you haven’t been to one in the… Read More

If you have ever been to Margate, NJ you would know Steve & Cookies is the best restaurant in town. It is so good I would go so far to say it is better than most restaurants in Manhattan. They are known for their Ugly Tomato Salad and their Blueberry Pie. The tomato salad is a plate of huge jersey… Read More

When I found out last week my 20th High School Reunion is the weekend of Thanksgiving this year, I went into a full state of panic. Mind you I haven’t really seen anybody from high school since I left  20 years ago. Not kidding. I think I have seen approximately 10 people, IF THAT. Obviously I see them on Facebook… Read More

I love cocktails. Big fan of them. Whether I am on the beach, at a restaurant, chilling on the porch, or in your backyard I prefer to have a nice cold cocktail especially in the summer (which is probably why I gained 5 lbs this summer but that is for the next post). Anyway, I am really excited for this incredible… Read More

IT’S BACK!!!     I have been anticipating the return of this show since it ended last season. From the minute it began (the flash forward into Walt’s screwed up life with guns and ricin) we know this final season is going to be stellar. I am not a TV critic so I can’t exactly speak with the jargon you… Read More

When I sent out the article the other day on hosting a Juice Tasting at my house this upcoming Tuesday the 19th, a friend called me and said ” What are you crazy having all those people at your house!?” I thought about it and thought maybe it was an insane idea but where else would I have it? I… Read More

I went back and forth and back and forth. Should I write about this? OR should I leave it alone? Some of my closest friends kids go to this camp. I thought if this was my son’s camp, would I want someone talking about this news? And then it hit me. This could have happened at Zach’s camp just as… Read More
