We just got back from a great “home” visit. It’s always a blast to meet old friends and family. I’m still a City girl at heart (New York, that is) and love the energy, the people watching, the variety, and the general buzz 24/7. But what I’m torn about is the scarcity of…
I’m having an awesome time visiting home, (NJ and NY), and connecting with tons of friends and family. We have a lot of roots here so we make plenty of stops and are staying at four different locations through the week. And on this trip, my hubby and I are even on a…
You know when you’ve had a really bad day and are loathing in self-pity? Until you turn on the news and realize that bad days consist of homes burning down or a major health crisis. And then all of a sudden your bad day doesn’t seem so bad after all! It’s all a…
Question for you: Can I still use the “mommy brain” excuse seven years after I’ve had my last child? You know how you can’t remember a freakin’ thing once you have kids? I’m not sure if it’s simply the fact that you have to remember everything for another human being or that a part…
It used to happen to me everyday at 3pm. Quick flashes of what I might have in the fridge or freezer to make for dinner. By 4pm, reality hit that I didn’t have enough of anything to pull together a nutritious meal for my family. By 5pm, complete panic would set in. …
It’s crunch time. Even though we’re not hosting Thanksgiving, the pressure’s on to get my work done by this evening. Not the world’s worst problem to have. I need to shorten my work week so I can indulge in food coma by a warm fire. Yeah, it could be worse. But even still…
First off, I really hope you, or anyone you know that’s been affected by Hurricane Sandy, are healthy and safe. NY/NJ are close to my heart (my home!) and I’m still amazed by the devastation. My love and prayers to you. But onto today’s post. If you have kids you have a ridiculous…
This was a big week for me. My hubby and I celebrated ten years of negotiating dishes, laundry duty, disciplining kids, financial discussions, personal development and home renovations…otherwise known as married bliss. 🙂 “We” turned ten years old. I can always remember how long we’ve been married, based on my sons age, because…
I’m writing from the beach today. (Aren’t I lucky!) We’re “home” for ten days (NY and NJ) and were lucky enough to slip away for a few days in between wedding celebrations. So this week I’m goin’ old school and writing my blog post. (Videos will be back next week). I was so…
Holy x$%! I’m on the heels of school ending and the kids being home for the summer. I can’t believe how fast the school year has flown. And that my baby is going to first grade! End of year is exciting but it also means a TON of extra paperwork coming home. School projects,…
