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

For the record, I have a J.O.B. I have about 30 of them. All you peeps who commented on my Gestapo article and told me to get one… I have news for you! I probably have more jobs than you. I  am so busy that I have been trying to figure out WHEN I was going to be able to… Read More

The first time I ever juiced was almost 6 years ago. I remember everybody talking about this new thing called “THE BLUEPRINT CLEANSE”. A lot of us wanted to get rid of our baby weight and we thought a great jumpstart would be to do this cleanse. A bunch of us ordered it online and a friend of ours picked… Read More

5 days. Yup. 5 days until he is home. I cannot believe how fast it went. All that prep, all those pictures, all those letters, all that money…just to think I will do it all again in 10 months. I am okay with it. I really am. I miss him and I am ready for his return. The real question… Read More

short and sweet – I need your help … I asked a bunch of friends but you know how that goes… Some respond but usually out of 150 emails, maybe 10 people write back. SO I am writing a REALLY GREAT/FUNNY article on camp. (shocker) But this one is even better. What will make it AMAZING is this: If you… Read More

Remember when I told everyone about the Shoprite app they had to have 2 weeks ago?? I hope you all downloaded it and used it. It is THAT good! If you have no idea what I am talking about, here is the link to the ShopRite article I wrote about the app : SHOPRITE APP . This app is just… Read More

Here we go again…First time mom sends her kid to sleepaway camp. First time mom gets a call. (friend): “Hey Amy, Did you make an appointment at Lice Be Gone?” (me): “Um, excuse me, what?” (friend): “Are you taking Zach, as soon as he gets off the bus, to the Lice Lady?” (me): (I am LAUGHING) “Are you serious?” (friend):… Read More
