This is not an easy subject to write about as we all know how hard it is when a child is diagnosed with cancer. I have had some friends in the past few years whose kids have been diagnosed with pediatric cancer and there is nothing more I want to do than to help in any way I can.  This… Read More

I don’t love fast food and it does not love me! Growing up my parents went out every Saturday night. They  usually picked up McDonald’s for my brother and I. I always ordered a Big Mac and fries. The joy of being young! Today you could not pay me any amount of money to eat such a thing. After reading… Read More

Do not read this if you are an expert at beauty. No point. Just a waste of your time. I am one of those girls who were never good at putting on makeup. I was never taught so I never learned. Normally when I have an event, I get my makeup done. I am not saying it in a snotty… Read More

It amazes me when I hear some of my friends tell me they have dinner as a “family” during the week. Meaning all the kids and the parents sit down at one dinner table at the same time and have the same meal. Baffling!  We have a Sunday tradition in our home: we all eat together! But that is about… Read More

I still have 3 years until I need to worry about the Bar/Bat Mitzvah, so I thought. You get the date when your child is in 4th grade. Some amazing person in town dedicates hours of their time to create a spreadsheet of every single person who is having their Bar/Bat Mitzvah in the coming year with the date. In… Read More

In the summer I spend a lot of my weekends in Margate, NJ. I love running on the boardwalk early in the morning before anybody has crawled out of bed.  The boardwalk stretches from Ventnor to Atlantic City. On my run I always pass this one house that has the most amazing statues you have ever seen. They are all… Read More

Remember the Sex and City episode when Carrie goes to the country and all she has is her Manolo’s?  Take that times 27 and you have a Bachelorette party in Bumblefuck ,Texas. Aka..Spicewood,Texas. This is where our lake house of 27 girls was located. I’m way too old for the events that went on this weekend but I’m going to… Read More

Tomorrow I will be heading to Austin for my brother’s fiances’ Bachelorette Party. GD HELP ME! I will be staying in a lake house with 28 girls all under the age of 30!  I am not really sure if there is a place for me to sleep or even if I will sleep because I read the house only sleeps… Read More

When I was little, I remember my mom taking me to the butcher to pick up dinner. The man who worked behind the counter was named Sam. He was overweight, bald head and had a bloody apron. I remember him so well because my mother dragged me there often. The bakery was next door and she always used to pick… Read More

I hate bugs. I am not really sure how I even survived camp.  I cannot believe in 2-6 weeks from now we will literally be visited by billions of cicadas.  The craziest thing about these creatures is that they hide underground for 17 years and then decide to make a re-occurrence.  They emerge from the ground to breed and die… Read More

We need to talk about Shoprite in Livingston, we really do. There is so much to say I don’t even know where to begin. Lets discuss the stuff we hate first. The parking. It’s awful. It is literally an accident waiting to happen. I would say, besides the long check out lines, the parking is horrific. HORRIFIC! Not only have… Read More

Livingston has been taken over by Yogurt stores.  Literally TAKEN OVER! Between Yo Fresh (that used to be Twist It) to Swede’s to Frozen Yogurt in Shop Rite, it’s down right ludicrous. Like doesn’t somebody get it?…NO MORE FROZEN YOGURT! Well somebody did. They decided to open “Philly Soft Pretzel Factory”. It’s opening next to the Beauty Supply Store on… Read More

I have a small obsession with a new show on FX called “The Americans”. If you haven’t seen it, shame on you. Its literally one of those shows you go back and watch and think how did I not start watching this from the beginning. It sucks you in from the minute it starts. The Americans is a period drama… Read More

A quick funny story. I don’t remember the age I was when I realized my dad was reading Playboy. He had a monthly subscription to it but I never saw it come through the mail. I only saw it in the bathroom stacked with the other mags for his reading pleasure in the loo. There was always some naked picture… Read More

Whoever invented “candy crush” is a mad genius. The game should be called “candy crack” actually. It is beyond addicting and beyond frustrating. It is one of those games you play, you stop, you play again, you stop etc. Its a viscous cycle of trying to beat every level, getting frustrated and trying again. I hate it and love it… Read More
