A lot of the folks closest to us have made mass exodus from Los Angeles over the past five or so years. My beloved Lindsey is no exception. She hasn’t lived in lalaland since before Miss Dee entered the world, but somehow they manage to have a connection — as if somehow Delilah inherently knows that Linds is our people… Read more →

Navel Gazing At A Funeral
He was the only person I knew when I moved to New York City. The older brother of a dear friend, I’d long idolized him as the sole person from our small catholic high school to study film at New York University — my holy grail of colleges. He was tall and thin and theatrical and when I finally arrived… Read more →
No I Love You More
We’ve been crazy lucky with the families in Dee’s preschool class. We attend a Jewish preschool and St. Valentine’s Day {which, honestly no one still calls it that, Preschool Director} isn’t exactly on the curriculum. So instead, (since the parents in our class are awesomely active on our email list and always in touch — hooray technology!) the majority of… Read more →
Bridesmaidery: Wedding Day Bridal Survival Kit
Before NY was shut down by Hurricane Sandy, it was lit up by Mike and Lindsey. {photo by Sara, yes THAT Sara, who YES! does weddings!} I’ve barely finished uploading my photos from Lindsey and Mike’s incredible bookstore nuptials, and this weekend, I’ll hold Randi’s train as she walks down the aisle (figuratively, not literally. I’ll be walking down the… Read more →
I Want The Name Of Her Surgeon Because Tinkerbell Looks Incredible For 50
Seriously. Look at those lids: As the story goes, I had just turned three when my best friend and I were both cast as Tinker Bell in the pre-school year end performance of Peter Pan. One set of wings + Two Best Friend Tinker Bells = Two one-winged fairies (or one two-headed fairy, either way, that’s friendship.) At my eighteenth… Read more →
Your Presence Is Our Present
Dudes, this mysterious work/life balance is hard. Last week it tipped on the life end of the scale for once and it felt really damn good. {Or, rather it felt really damn good the first part of the week until the work side of the scale got all overloaded and reality came crashing down. Still. Worth it.} {The only decent… Read more →
Living At The Speed Of Life
She turned three this week and I can hardly believe it. This morning, as I buckled her in for the ride to school, she announced: “Tomorrow me and Daddy are going to wash your car for you.” Is it any wonder I let her bathe herself in sugar this week? Sweet begets sweets, Sweets. Monday was her third birthday, but… Read more →
E is for Effort.
A week from now, I’ll be in New York. Surrounded by people. Real LIVE! ADULT! people. {I capitalized live adult to show my excitement but now it just looks dirty. I swear, no one will be naked. At least, no one plans to be. I also never planned to pose for this picture.} {Uhhhh…NSFW? I don’t think I’ve ever had… 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 →
Park Etiquette and Picking Up Mom Friends
It’s one of those things there should be a book about. In the hospital, they show you how to get a good latch and change a diaper, but they don’t say boo about the challenges you’ll be met with as you and your little one venture out to the local park. First off there are the basic questions. Are you… Read more →
