It’s days like this that I think to myself it’s time to grow up and stop storing stuff at my parent’s house. Case in point, my Bat-Mitzvah album, which is a time capsule of early 90’s hilarity, and would have certainly provided some excellent imagery for this post. But I’m too busy organizing the crap I am storing at my… Read more →

Happy Father’s Day
Sure, a picture of my Dad and I together would probably be more apropo, but this picture of him (on the left, with the incredible jew-fro) and a school buddy (with the equally incredible moustache) from the early 70’s was just too hilarious to pass up. My Dad is just plain cool. He always wears wayfarers, introduced me to Jazz… Read more →
::bangs head on wall::
I’m clogged up today (nasally speaking,) and when you combine that with the most insane case of preggo cankles you’ve ever seen, and my inability to accept that maybe the extra *** lbs of baby hanging off the front of me would dictate that I shouldn’t have danced like there’d be no tomorrow at my cousin’s wedding a few nights… Read more →
Move Over Martha!
My cousin Adam married his high school sweetheart Stephanie in a beautiful ceremony at Brooklyn Botanic Gardens (what can I say? Puppy love runs in the family.) After arriving on the Party Bus (a shuttle which took us from Long Island to Brooklyn) we were greeted by fizzy glasses of Champagne, and bamboo parasols to shield us from the sun… Read more →
Make Way for Ducklings
One of the best things about being in NY for the week is that Marissa, Todd, Eva, and Lolo are here with us. Today (when the rain subsided) we took the girls to the park by Aunt Judy’s house (who has generously offered to put up our entire clan for the week, Grandma and Grandpa included) to feed some Goose… Read more →
This Guy.
Yesterday morning, Scott went out for coffee, and came back with a pot of tulips and a card thanking me for carrying our baby. This guy always knows how to bring meaning to a Hallmark Holiday. Back when I was a freshman in college, professing my love for my long-distance boyfriend and swearing up and down that I was… Read more →
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.
I love you. Read more →
Birthright
Saturday night we went to see Scotty’s Uncle Kelly play with his band, Bad Dog, at the St. Francis De Sales carnival. The SFDS carnival stage has seen some pretty classy acts over the years – about a decade ago my bleach blond, spikey haired, leather jacket wearing boyfriend (y’know, basically a parent’s nightmare) took me to see Billy Idol… Read more →
Oh, Fuck it.
I’m pregnant, and I love this diaper bag. (It’s Stella McCartney for LeSportSac, and it’s at least a season old, so now I can’t find it anywhere.) I haven’t been able to come up with a good way to break our big news…and now I’ve been dragging it out for over a week, so there it is. 16 weeks. Due… Read more →
Mermaids, and Elephants, and Pirates…Oh My!
The big D-land can be a little overwhelming for a four-year-old. Eva spent most of her day reluctantly wearing her birthday pin, and furrowing her little brow amidst what had to be the biggest crowd I’ve personally ever seen gracing the [alleged] Happiest Place on Earth. It turns out the little girl who will parade around in costumes for her… Read more →
