It started with a chair. Well, two chairs if I am being honest, but if you get the reference above then we are automatically better friends than we were before you opened this post. More on that, later. Two years ago, just after we closed on our new home, I went with my parents to the Rago ...
"Look! Look! Look out my window! I can see a star!" My daughter was pressed up against her bedroom windowpane, her brother by her side, following her motions and mimicking her enthusiasm. I was folding laundry on her floor, my husband was out picking up Chinese Takeout and the kids were playing on the chairs by the ...
The incredibly touching comments that I received on my emotional day post on Facebook. The launch of the new website for Pearl Communications, my PR firm. It was actually the owner who suggested that I use Brand Revive and then ended up hiring them herself, with brilliant results. A great phonecall with my friend who told me ...
Today was a pretty good day, despite the fact that my daughter was home sick with a bad cough and fever. I had fun with my kids and delighted in their (our) love for each other. I had at least a handful of moments where I would catch eyes with my son and smile and he ...
Something interesting happened to me this week; my iPhone stopped working. It was on Thursday, New Year's Day, and one minute it was sending and receiving texts (despite being shattered and an eyesore) and the next minute the screen became completely dysfunctional.

Yesterday was a big day. My son woke up late, as a treat, and my daughter followed me into his room to change his morning diaper. "Today is the day!" she beamed. "I know! Today is the cookie party!" I answered, referring to our plans for the special Pollyanna party with our best friends. "No!" She cried. "Today, Bubbie ...
"Mom, look! Look at the sky!" It was not even seven o'clock this morning, but my daughter's excitement was palpable. She grabbed my phone, ran to the window and snapped this shot. I did not edit this picture at all; I did not filter it through a special lens on my phone nor did I touch it up in ...
Our holidays this year have been completely different than ever before. Up until last year, I experienced the winter holidays in nearly the same way every year for as long as I can remember: Hanukkah was a time of many big family gatherings (when you have a huge family that all lives locally, the pile of presents is ...
Even though I have the post halfway written in my head and a handful of pictures to go with it, so that I can illustrate our family's coziest Christmas Eve, just the four of us, but because I was so warm and cozy, you see, I fell asleep on the fluffy faux fur rug by the fire and my husband ...
Yesterday, my "work day" wrapped up with a chat with my business manager. By the way, you must remember, I am the girl who has only had one set of business cards in her entire life... and they were Betty Boop business cards I had personalized for me at FAO Schwartz that read, "Star of Stage and ...
