So, there's been something that I have been trying to avoid admitting for some time now. Some call this denial; because if I say it, if I write it, then it becomes true. But, at this point I have to dive into the deep end of the ocean of crazy and just admit what we all already know: My ...
I recently re-posted a piece that I wrote back in 2011 for a site geared towards pregnancy, parenthood and the like. I called it "Back to School Blues" and it was a combination of advice from a teacher (my column on the site was called "The Little Scholar") and my feelings as a new parent. I ...
At the moment, my daughter is very into a few things; in particular: Her cute camp counselor, puzzles and The Lion King. And I have to say, there are only so many times that you can hear "Circle of Life" without reflecting on it's meaning just a bit. It's the Circle of Life And it moves us all. ...
I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying being both a Birchbox #Birchblogger and part of the #BirchboxBookClub. I love making videos each month and have been having tons of fun with my YouTube Channel. I keep threatening my songwriting partner that I am going to post some of our raw footage.

(Featured Image from JKCP Xploration Showcase, Summer 2014) "JKCP Summer, it's a place for glee..." 19 years ago, I crafted those words, as I was responsible for writing our camp's theme song. After an unsuccessful one month and four days at overnight camp, I was a bit lost, until I found my personal mecca in the form of ...
My oldest, dearest friend turns 30 today. She is a wonderful human being, a most devoted friend, a woman with fantastic morals and virtues and the Godmother to my son. When she and I were little, we had a band. You may have heard of it, it got really big in Germany: RJ BEFO She and I ...
Yesterday, I received the most incredible 30th birthday present that I could ever imagine. Brett Dennen sent me a guitar. Did you catch that? Brett Dennen, about whom I have written a significant number of posts, right here on this very site sent me a guitar. As in, there was a packing slip from Fed Ex where he had written ...
I had a few conversations recently in which I shared that one of my very favorite words is "charm", in both it's noun and verb form. I was just looking up the video that I made chronicling my past year in music, and do you know how YouTube shows you a list of videos down the ...
I can't believe that it has been four and a half years, almost to the day, since I wrote this silly little post about my sister and the musical Grease. She had sent me the cutest text message and so, because I kept this as an online diary of my life, I blogged it. And I can't ...
My daughter is quite the crafty one. She is smart and creative. She can use her precociousness and persuasiveness simultaneously and deliberately, so this girl rarely hears "no" from people other than her primary caregivers and authority figures (really, just her parents and teachers). Which means that I had to get really clever, myself. My daughter, the ...
