Jan 30 Posted by nancyjrab 3 Comments

My InstaGram is InstaGone!

Jan 23 Posted by nancyjrab 6 Comments

Why?  Because, per its Terms of Service, Instagram does not allow children under the age of 13 Continue Reading

The Great B’Nai Mitzvah Makeover

Jan 4 Posted by nancyjrab 6 Comments

Dec 30 Posted by nancyjrab 3 Comments

Nov 21 Posted by nancyjrab 3 Comments

The Holidays are upon us.  Which means it's time for endless good cheer, open minds, generous hearts and the spirit of...oh, who am I kidding? The Holidays are when the cynical New Yorker in me grumbles about the hoards of tourists, when the Jew in me feels distinctly left out, and when the only Continue Reading

Yes,  it's true.  I went to the Justin Beiber concert, and all I got was the endless gratitude of my daughter. That's enough to make a Belieber out of me. Continue Reading
