Thursday in the New York Times, there was an article in the style section about tween girls getting facials, waxings, blow-outs, and professional make-up applications. And just in case you didn’t know, tweens – in marketing parlance anyway – are 7-12 year olds. True, the article only talked about twelve year old girls getting driven [...]

Family Travel: To Tech or not to Tech?
Posted in Humor, Travel on January 18, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Family vacations are supposed to be all about togetherness. So does that mean that no one can be on their phone or handheld game, or ipad, or computer the entire time? Yikes. I mean, can you get the DTs from electronic withdrawal syndrome? Kim Orlando gave that a shot on her recent family vacation to [...]

Resolution, schmesolution, you want new things in the new year? Just do it. (Sorry, Nike) I started with my hair. The other day I posted about my new super short ‘do. I left that hairdresser looking TOTALLY different. Of course, that was when she blow dried it. This morning, I did it myself — and [...]
Duane Reade: The Times Square of NY Stores

Recently, I went shopping at Duane Reade, the New York convenience store, and it made me think of Times Square. If you grew up in New York, or if you’ve been here more than 20 years, or if you’ve seen any Scorcese movie made in the 1970′s, then you remember when Times Square was seedy. [...]
Twitter: Martinis for the Modern Mom
Posted in Humor, tagged escaping housewife tedium, housewifery, Tweeting on December 7, 2011 | 6 Comments »
In the 18th century, to break up the monotony of stoking fires and slaughtering oxen, American housewives tatted, going blind making lace, blissfully unaware that it was the pre-cursor to Hanky Panky thongs. In the 19th century, women had their salons, performing for each other, and leaving us a legacy of reality stars who are [...]
Why it’s Better to be a Drama Mom than a Soccer Mom

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 [...]
Wordless Wednesday: Misspelled

Can you guess what the movers meant? Did they think we were fascists? Did they think they had just packed up Mussolini’s kitchen? Nope. They Meant Miscellaneous. Best misspelling ever

This weekend, the kids, the dog and I (Hubby was in sunny Florida) went to visit my sister who recently left the hipster haven of Brooklyn for a small, bucolic college town more than two hours north of NYC. While she’s renovating her new acquired 1726 farmhouse, she’s living in a different farmhouse she rents [...]

Congratulations are in order. Because I have accomplished the impossible. I now weigh what I weighed when I returned home from the hospital after giving birth to twins ten years ago. Yes, it’s true. What it took nine months and two actual human being growing inside of my body to accomplish, I’ve managed to do [...]
