But as a Jew, I was deprived of tree trimming for 26 long years until I married Scott and was forced, completely against my will, to get a tree of my own. And who says Jews can’t enjoy a little egg nog and New Kids On The Block every once in a while? I mean, let’s face it ~ we… Read more →

What Turkey?
One thing that I’m super thankful for this season is that my glorious sister-in-law is taking the heat on our families’ Turkey Day celebration this year, which has left me with plenty of time to fantasize about the holidays that come next. {Although I’m totally here if you need help Maeg! I make a mean bowl of mashed potatoes!} … Read more →
L-O-L-A, Lola.
I don’t think I brag about this little ray of sunshine nearly enough. She’s my littlest niece and she is just a crazy crackup who I miss every single day. Her big Sister is a sensitive little creature, and we’ve always had a very special thing going. Little Lo’s got thick skin and is ready to take on the world… Read more →
Ebony and Ivory
My parent’s dog Stealth is visiting us for the weekend. He’s a handsome devil, isn’t he? {and yes, Delilah IS holding two boob shaped bottles. Don’t ask.} Read more →
Friday the 13th at the Lake
This has been a pretty big month for me. Not only did I get my butt up off my couch and out of my pajamas and go to BlogHer in New York with Dee in tow, but then three days later I got up off the couch AGAIN and drove my little family up to Big Bear where we… Read more →
Momversation
My Mom is…a little bit internet challenged. Like, she called me once and asked me how to “do” Amazon.com. No, seriously. I’m not trying to be funny. That happened. To be clear, I’m not mocking my Mom. I mean, I am, but I also totally admire her in lots of ways. She’s my creative soul sister, she… Read more →
Chlorine.
[pool photos taken with our Canon PowerShot D10] I guest posted over at SmonkYou yesterday, did you see? If you dig on blogs about parenting, you really should visit SmonkYou – it’s my favorite Dad Blog {which is like a Mom Blog written by a Dad. Or if you ask Kenny, he’s a male mommy blogger. The first ever actually. … Read more →
Finally. Something to Obsess About.
Dee’s first birthday is less than three months away and I’m starting to contemplate what I’d like to do to celebrate. I guess I should probably consult Scott at some point, since she’s 50% his to shower with love and affection {Shanny, if you’re reading this, let’s talk about that, okay?} but I promised Eva that she could select the… Read more →
My first word was Dad’n.
It was the perfect day for him. My Dad is a man who lives for his family, and so my sister and I, our two hubby’s, the three little girls, and my Mom spent the day showering him with some ‘ol fashion love and adoration – we got him a shiny new BBQ for the occasion and the boys built… Read more →
