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

Facebook. Craziest invention in my lifetime. PERIOD. Some would say it is the IPhone. Some would say it is the Internet. Some would say it is keyless driving. I think all those things are amazing but in my eyes, Facebook tops all of it. I LOVE Facebook. Most of you know that. I post often but I try to post… Read More

If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know I am Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David’s biggest fan. Like BIGGEST FAN EVER.  If you haven’t guessed that by my sense of humor, well, now you know. So when I was listening to Howard the other day and Seinfeld came on talking about his web series that… Read More

Wow. When I sat down to write “Running of the Jews” I don’t think I was completely aware of the viral potential of social media. I obviously had no idea it would be linked to a New York Times Article this past Sunday. I was driving home from Visiting Day when I found out. The weirdest part was The Times… Read More

I was psyched when Sweet Basil’s moved from West Orange to Livingston. I actually wrote a whole piece on it when I used to have my Essex County Daily Page on Facebook. I really love their brunch on the weekend and their lunch during the week is pretty great as well. HOWEVER, I am finding it quite a fete to… Read More

While watching SportsCenter, it may seem as though your husband is firinig off emails in the am BUT really he’s doing something else. He is actually “viewing” something else.  Something called “The Chive”.   I can tell you this, he is not just reading this on the train (if he is I am sure he is making sure nobody is… Read More

Same article but new day and time! See below – ONE DAY ONLY!  I live my “eating” life like this : 5 days pretty strict and 2 days (Saturday and Sunday) enjoying every minute. I will tell you it’s not easy. Especially when I go out a lot of Thursday nights and many of them consist of Birthday dinners.  I… Read More

Hope everyone who had their visiting day this past weekend had an amazing time. I am counting down the days!! I received some great pics that I will use in conjunction with this upcoming weekends pictures. Many have you asked if I will blur out the camp/license plate/name etc. OF COURSE! Not only will I blur out anything that will… Read More

Every year, after camp, we rent a house out East from an awesome guy my husband works with. I always struggle with the perfect gift to bring him for allowing us to rent the house during the busiest week in the Hamptons. While I was looking for some treats to bring up for visiting day, I came across these:  … Read More

So a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who supported and responded so nicely to my last article. “The Running with the Jews”. I think I will forever now be called the girl who wrote “The Running with the Jews”. As we all know it was meant to be funny, AS I AM JEWISH, and poking fun at ourselves is not… Read More

It’s funny, in all the years that friends of mine have been speaking about visiting day I wasn’t really paying attention. Now that this is Zach’s first year at camp, I have certainly been listening! First of all, when I was a kid at sleep away, my parents came up, brought me some candy, etc. We spent the day doing… Read More
