Today, people across the country, and across the world, are remembering. Today, people are sharing their own memories of where they were when they heard the shocking, horrifying news, on that fateful morning, nine years ago. I know that we did, at breakfast, lingering over our bagels, as a quiet sadness permeated the kitchen. We sat at ...
happy challahdaze
It's the new year! Sound the shofar, 5771 is here! We were on a mini mommyeverafter hiatus, to honor the High Holiday of Rosh Hashana, or, the Jewish New Year. As I sat in services yesterday, with a magenta flower clad baby snuggled up to my chest, I couldn't help but to feel an overwhelming sense of loveadorationpridebeingsoblessed. Did you catch that? There are some ...
And the winner is…
with 34% of the vote.... Boho Baby!! Thank you, thank you, to all of you voters out there. I am glad I am not the only crazy one (I kid)! I am happy to report that my husband is now carrying the baby around the house, cheering, "Boho chic! Boho chic!". The dogs have also joined in on the parade. Lola has ...

high (holiday) anxiety
The high holidays are upon us. It is time to dip our apples into honey, and to eat circular foods, and to ring in the New Year (wassup Martinelli's Sparkling Cider?!) with our loved ones. So, as it is with any other right of passage, I have a bit of anxiety. Between now and sundown tomorrow, I must do some serious grocery ...
3 reasons why being married to my husband doesn’t feel like hard labor:
Reason #1: This morning, I yelled at my husband for using the new, cool, sparkly, blue toothbrush, and leaving me with the red version. Me: "Don't you even know was my second favorite color is?!?!?!?" Husb: "Blue?" Me: "NO, it is NOT blue. It is aqua. Husb: "Do you want to switch toothbrushes, then? I'm more than happy to trade." Me: ...
peak-a-boo, i’ll-cover-you
Two years ago, today, I saw Rent, in it's final week on Broadway. One year ago, today, I danced with The Tribe at Hair. Today, I spent the morning playing peak-a-boo with my 4 1/2 month old, over and over and over, again. I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love, Now I know you can rent it, A new ...

all we are saying,
is give peas chance. Can you guess which new veggie we tried tonight? And by we, I mean the baby. I wasn't getting near the stuff. Despite my aversion, she seemed quite smitten. What a champ! Her vegetable of choice was not by accident. Although it pained me to switch her off of sweet potatoes, (oh how we loooooved our sweet potatoes), I ...
