I’ve always had a habit of finding a food I like and then eating it obsessively until I can no longer stand the sight of it (hello, everything on the menu at DOJO my freshman year of college). That’s kind of what happened with me and quinoa. Until today, when I accidentally discovered that I could make Quinoa Hot Cereal… Read more →

Hump Day Humpty Dance
I made a new blog header and it has the same picture that I just posted this morning, and well…my mania dictates that I have to bump that post down, you know? So, what’s up you guys? How’s your day going? I’m doing pretty well. Have you heard my friend Eric’s band Tanlines yet? You should listen. Their new album came out yesterday and they’re… Read more →
Pillow Talk
At 1 am Dee crawled into my bed and curled up next to me. She put her little face as close to mine as possible and whispered… Dee: “Hey Mommy…I want to tell you something.” Me: “Yeah baby?” D: “The Doggies go poo poo on the grass.” Me: “Yeah, baby…they do.” D: “They go poo poo in the house, too.”… Read more →
And now this.
Yesterday I gushed about how happy I was to have enrolled Delilah in our local temple preschool. This morning in the south of France, a young Jewish mother — not unlike me — got a call that her 30-year-old husband and their 3 and 6-year-old sons — along with another mother’s child — had been shot dead outside of their… Read more →
I Made a Freaking Challah, and Other Thoughts About My Jewishness.
A few weeks ago Delilah started “Transition” class. That is, for the uninitiated, pre-pre-school, so to speak. Almost immediately, I realized I had found what I didn’t know had been missing from our lives. Jews. No really. As you may have deduced from my frequent swapping of Moses for any other prophet, saint, or deity in common turns of phrase,… Read more →
Tie-Dye is Perfect for Distracting from Stretchmarks
Vancouver-based Daub + Design does things with tie-dye that not even the most brain fried hippie could have dreamed of. In the best way.I mean, right? Maybe after my imaginary future tummy tuck I can wear a bikini like this one. {I’ll take the seamless undies and would probably trade asses with this chick too.} GAH! I want it all!… Read more →
Well, Shit.
Yesterday, a squirrel ran out into the street and under Scott’s car. Except it wasn’t a squirrel. It weighs about a pound, but we’re pretty sure it’s a dog of some kind. It’s just…let me remind you that I currently share my home with a sixty lb puppy, so you’ll excuse my confusion when upon realizing that this little girl… Read more →
Pinning from my iPhone in a 7-11…Week in Review
Um, true or false, The WineRack (that’s a bra that holds wine) just met it’s match? TRUE. That right there is four single serving plastic stemless wine glasses stacked on top of one another and packaged that way for your drinking pleasure. Newport Beach based Stacked Wines apparently just launched this month, and I spotted it in my local 7-11… Read more →
Be Still My Beating Heart.
Ikea Prefab has finally arrived out west. Yes, you read that right. After offering their extensive (and impressive) line of Prefab homes only to those lucky enough to share a continent with the Swedish manufacturer, we here in the good old U S of A can finally get in on the awesome! Now, not only can you snag the affordable… Read more →
Big Week. Little Spark.
I have so much I want to tell you guys about my trip to Nashville, and thoughts I’ve been thinking about, but I’m still processing exactly what it is I want to say. So instead, I give you Hurry Hurry by Nashville-based artist Jessie Baylin, who I can’t stop listening to ever since she sat behind me on the plane… Read more →
