I got an email yesterday. Bags are being picked up next FRIDAY! Okay I am sure you are all laughing because your kid/kids are all set. Trunks packed, everything labeled, medical forms in, etc. Probably been done for weeks. I have news for you. I have not washed the sheets, labeled the sheets, turned in my medical forms, sharpied the… Read More

I have been to a lot of weddings, really, A LOT. But I have been out of the wedding circuit for quite some time and I’m not sure if this weekend was as crazy as I thought it was or this is the new norm. I’m going to fill you in on this lengthy weekend and you can tell me… Read More

It’s here. The wedding weekend. After the Bachelorette party (remember that,  if not you MUST read that blog…WOOHOO!). My brother, after 33 years, is getting married. I never thought I would see this day.Not because he is not marriage material, quite the contrary, I thought he would NEVER settle down. He lives the life, ya know… 5 days at Coachella,… Read More

I had such great feedback from my last blog about Livingston I thought it would be fun to do an Old School Livingston Quiz. I thought the best prize since Father’s Day is coming up would be a gift card to the Strip House. I love the Strip House in Livingston.  Some people think it’s expensive but I have to… Read More

Growing up my husband went to Luger’s for break fast (not breakfast, break fast). As in break- the- fast during Yom Kippur. For those of you who do not know what Yom Kippur is – it’s the highest holiday in the Jewish religion, you starve your ass off for one day to repent and normally chow on 3 bagels and… Read More

With my husband’s birthday coming up and Father’s Day I have been looking and looking for the perfect gift. I find it so hard to find the perfect male gift without it being related to cigars or golf…and then  I came across this website, Headlines & Heroes. Wow, am I happy I did. You cannot even imagine what is on… Read More

I have never been to Cranford, NJ before, have you? I must say its a very cute town and a town I probably would not have driven to had I not been told I MUST go to this restaurant. A restaurant called Pairings. I know you are thinking that they pair the food to wine but it was really about… Read More

It amazes me all the time how many people grew up in Livingston, went away to college, did some kind of city thing (New York, Chicago, LA) and moved back home. There is something so special about living in a community that everyone seems to come back to at some point in their life. I can’t tell you how many… Read More

I have this issue. I actually have had this issue for 12 years. This is it: Yes that is my bathroom, that is my toilet paper and that is the toilet paper roll ON TOP OF THE EMPTY ONE! 12 years I have been asking for one tiny little favor. “Sweetheart, Can you please change the roll?” If you got… Read More

So, as most of you know my brother is getting married in 2 weeks. I hosted a bridal shower at my house in April. I tried to think of something clever that I could give to my soon to be sister-in-law that she would have forever. Shower gifts are tough. Unless you are purchasing something off the registry, it is… Read More

Travel Soccer is Wednesday and Friday’s. I carpool to make my life somewhat easier. So last week I picked up my son’s friend and they were busy chatting in the back on the way to soccer. I overheard him say that he just got these awesome new lacrosse shorts at “Likewear”. My son says, “MOM, I have been asking for… Read More

Why does Mother’s Day have to be so complicated? I really wish there was no such thing. If we did away with Mother’s Day and Father’s day it would save so much drama, money and stress. All I want to do is wake up, workout, hang with the kids, eat a yummy homemade breakfast, watch my kids soccer and baseball… Read More

Okay, so I’m going to let you all in on a small secret…. I have a hidden love affair with Target. It is divorce worthy because although everything seems so cheap I can’t leave without spending a lot of money. This spring happens to be a REAL problem. I’m not kidding you I bought 3 pairs of the same shoes… Read More

If you love the set up of Chipotle and you love Mediterranean food, you will love Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill. They just opened in Florham Park on Monday next to Red Mango and Trader Joes. Their vision was to bring quality Mediterranean-style food to the US in a fast-casual environment. I am a huge Greek Salad person. My favorite happens to… Read More

Guess what’s here?? Oh but it is… It IS that time of year. Kiwanis. I have been hearing about it for weeks. The posters are all over town preparing us for the five-day event at Kiwanis. I do happen to think it’s a great cause. I am not sure if any of you actually know what Kiwanis is so I… Read More
