Back to life, Back to reality… I cannot for the life of me understand where the summer went. How is it that it is August and I am writing a Back to School Guide??? UGH!!!! Well I guess the show must go on… SO without any further ado, here are my MUST HAVES for Back To School 2017!!!
This morning I took a killer yoga class. I am not sure if was the heat or the intensity but it was one of those classes you leave knowing you had a sick workout. During shivasana I could have sworn Liz (yoga teacher) played an Eddie Vedder song. Although Vedder was not singing Hare Krishna, it was seriously his voice… Read More
I almost fell over when I saw the preview for Odd Mom Out running on Visiting Day. Um… hello? That looks vaguely familiar…. 4 years ago was it that I wrote The Running of the Jews? Hmmm. Should I say thank you? If there is one thing you cannot do on visiting day, it’s to show up empty-handed. But what… Read More
Now that Father’s Day is over, it’s time to treat yo self! Whether you are on the hunt for the ideal tennis racquet bag, gym tote, backpack, duffle or satchel, please check out these super chic bags that you won’t want to put down this summer!!!
What do we get dad?? I’ve searched high and low for the hottest gifts for men this year. On my journey, I came up with an awesome list of items that are sure to get a lot of use — whether they’re in the gym, the great outdoors, on a plane or in the backyard, there is a gift for… Read More
I was recently asked to write an advice letter to my former college self that could potentially help future college students. My journey from college to real life has been filled with a ton of lessons but if there were 10 things I wish someone had told me before my freshman year it would go something like this: Dear Amy,… Read More
Dear Greg (husband), When you asked me what I wanted on Mother’s Day, I wasn’t kidding, I do not want anything. I do not want breakfast in bed. I am not a fan of crumbs and I certainly do not want to deal with washing and drying sheets. The thought of having to put that duvet cover back on the… Read More
Life is unpredictable. If you asked me last year where I would be Spring Break 2017, I would have told you Israel. However, due to some unforeseen life events, we wound up on a road trip through California. A very, very long road trip. My brother moved to LA when he got hitched so we figured we would begin our… Read More
Here we are again….less than 8 weeks before camp starts! I don’t know about you, but I am super stressed. I haven’t even ordered camp clothing yet. Yeah, I am that behind. Hopefully everything still fits from last year (not a chance). With the little time we have left, I put together all my favorite camp 2017 finds that are… Read More

Passover is around the corner! I decided, unlike in the past, I will post a few Passover desserts individually making it easier for you to refer back to if you decide to make this or any of them! This Chocolate Caramel Matzah Crunch was such a winner in my house (and easy to make), I thought it would be the… Read More
I will preface this article by stating I am the mother of boys. Two amazing boys I wouldn’t trade for the world (on most days). I am aware I am writing this article through the lens of a mom with without daughters. I tread lightly… I have on been on a World Mitzvah Tour since September. From NJ, NY, Westchester,… Read More
What did we do before leggings? I was trying to think back to what I wore before they existed. Velour Juicy Couture sweatsuits? Champion sweatpants? UGH. I believe the birth of leggings has been one of the best gifts women have received in the workout actually “life” department. Not only do we wear them to exercise but they have truly… Read More
I have been true to my word since 1990 something. Valentine’s Day is, quite frankly, the world’s dumbest holiday. I say it every year. If you want to show me love, do it on a day that is least expected not when Hallmark says “this is the day.” I told Greg from go, do not buy me flowers, do not… Read More
It may be freezing on the east coast but spring will be here before we know it (literally cannot wait). I thought I would bring a little sunshine into your day and get you in the mood for warm weather. I have been scouring the market for two months looking for amazing new goodies for the store. I figured I… Read More
