Ok, Ok, so they’re pre-teens now. But lately, I’ve been nostalgic for the baby days. Maybe it’s seeing all those uber-delicious pics of Momma’s Gone City‘s new wee one. But whatever. I don’t miss the no sleeping, or the endless laundry, or the inability to even pee without an audience. But I still miss the [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Weekday Mornings
Posted in Family, Food, tagged breakfast, family breakfast, Wordless Wednesday on January 25, 2012 | 3 Comments »
This is what my husband does every morning for the kids. They don’t always sit down to this lovely breakfast set-up — but he does it anyway. Gotta love that. That and the fact that he wakes me up every morning by bringing me a cup of coffee in bed! So when he bugs me, [...]
Hannukah: It Just Ain’t Christmas

It’s the Hannukah Season. What? You haven’t seen the decorations everywhere? Heard the incessant Hannukah music on the radio? Shopped the Hannukah Sales? Yeah. Me neither. No one thinks about Hannukah. No one talks about it or sings about it, or makes claymation shows about it. (although these Yeshiva U. guys did make a great [...]

Every year, my family sets aside one night of Hannukah for giving instead of getting.We give the kids some money to donate the the charity of their choice. It isn’t much, but it’s at least a moment during the consumer consumption, frenzy that is the Holiday Season, when they have to think about what someone [...]
Why it’s Better to be a Drama Mom than a Soccer Mom
Posted in Family, Humor, tagged Broadway, Broadway theatre, Drama Geek, High school, Impossible Dream, Saturday, Soccer mom, Sport, Theatre on October 26, 2011 | 12 Comments »
I grew up in a family where sports were virtually non-existent. My father never watched a single game. My brother never played on a team. My mother couldn’t have named a single professional athlete. My sister and I were wholly uninterested (and unskilled) at organized sports. We weren’t un-coordinated. My brother was a ski instructor [...]
First Day of First Grade: Wordless Wednesday Flashback
Posted in Family on September 14, 2011 | 3 Comments »
With Middle School started, and the eye rolling at everything I say begun, it’s nice to remember, there were once Strawberry Shortcake backpacks to pack, and Incredible Hulk bags that lit up when you pressed them. It’s nice to remember when they held my hand walking to school. Guess I’ll have to wait for the [...]
Middle School Flashback: The Misery Years
Posted in Family, tagged adolescence, Middle School, misery of middle school on September 9, 2011 | 6 Comments »
My twins started Middle School this week. And while their elementary school years brought back sweet memories, their starting Middle School brings me back to what was most definitely the most miserable time of my life: Junior High. First there was my body. My feet as big as flippers, hair sprouting in places no one [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Visiting Day List from a City Kid
Posted in Family, tagged camp visiting day, Wordless Wednesday on July 20, 2011 | 3 Comments »
After four weeks at sleepaway camp, this weekend is visiting day. Here’s the list my daughter sent, categorizing the essentials. I love that on the one hand, she asks for sushi, dried seaweed, and dried strawberries. And on the other hand, she lists Fart Putty as a visiting day essential. Priceless.
