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

Every year our elementary school has a night called “Basket Bash”. It’s a fundraising event for the school with over 250 moms. There are literally over 300 baskets in one room. You buy tickets and each basket has a cup that goes with it. You place your tickets in each cup that you want to win. So it’s a crapshoot…. Read More

Zach (my almost 9-year-old) is going to sleep-away camp for his first summer. It’s definitely exciting but also scary at the same time. I am not that parent that worries or freaks out every time something happens but sleepaway camp is a big deal. How I came to pick the camp is a whole other blog that will be released… Read More

If you asked me one of the single most important things my parents taught me I would say music.  MUSIC!!!! I grew up in a house with Al Green, Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan. My father had a record collection that took up the entire den. He had a Denon turntable that we were not allowed to touch!(yes this one)… Read More

I don’t profess to be a food critic; I am just a girl who loves to eat. I never really had a passion for food until I met Greg (the husband). There is no food he won’t eat. Actually he won’t eat a hard-boiled egg but that’s about it.  Because he is so opinionated about every place we eat, it… Read More

I am a car person… it’s my father’s fault. When I was 15 (yes you get your learner’s permit in Philly at 15!) my father turned to me and said, “Amy, if you want to learn how to drive, you will learn on stick or you won’t learn” So I learned how to drive a 5 speed at 15. My… Read More

One of my obsessions in life is monogramming. I pleaded with Greg (the husband) to have monogrammed bedding and let’s just say I have yet to own a monogrammed pillow. I love it so much my first business was based on personalizing and monogramming every item in the collection. So you can only imagine how excited I was to find… Read More
