In September, my husband and I celebrated our 11th wedding Anniversary at a winery on Long Island. It was an impromptu getaway that I planned just a few days before.
Long Island is known for its extensive wineries and tours and other fall festivities. It’s a great place to go with friends, family, or like us, […]
Kids say the darndest things. So do parents. Ever wonder what any of it means half the time? Ever try to figure out what your child needs when they are lying on the floor screaming intelligible ramblings? Ever wonder what is coming out of your mouth when you’re trying to scream back at a 3 […]
Gah – how did you name your baby?
When we discovered my first baby was going to be a boy, my husband wanted to name him after himself. Michael. Did you know that name was on the top 5 list for nearly an eternity? I had some concerns. Of course I love my husband and love […]
Brad from the Cosmic Geppetto Podcast is back with us, getting us excited for Father’s Day.
I know what it is going to be like. It’s my eighth Father’s Day as an actual father.
There will be no sleeping in. The kids wake up 6am every weekday. Why should the weekend be different?
Since the kids are up, the dog […]
Ahh summer. Which means garage sales! Have you taken your kids to a garage sale?

The mom uniform in the 1950’s was a bit different from what we might see today. Back then, a neatly pressed dress, along with matching high-heel shoes, polished hair and maybe even a hair bow was common. If I did all that before leaving the house for a trip to the grocery store, we’d all […]
If, when you were pregnant or a new mom, you swore you would raise your children just like your mom raised you, then maybe this post isn’t for you. Or maybe you can relate eventually.
My mom reveled in trying to achieve, “World’s Meanest Mom” status. And of course, with that, it is supposed to mean […]
Remember how cute and adorable your life was B.C. (BEFORE CHILDREN)?
You slept in on Saturdays until like, what, 9:45 a.m.?
You got a mani-pedi every Friday after work?
You enjoyed your piping hot coffee every Sunday morning curled up with your favorite book.
You had perky boobs.
You had two eyebrows.
Now, you’re a mom. It’s fantastic, right? “Being a […]
The year was 2010. My first (and at the time only) baby was about four months old. My in-laws took us out to dinner, and that’s the last time I’ve taken my children out to a restaurant and left with an existing sense of sanity.
Since then, we’ve definitely thrown good money after bad trying to […]
