Good Grief
Our family vacation was only three weeks away when we got the bad news. It would change everything.

None of us were really feeling our best, so we had full work-ups done at a wellness center in Manhattan.…

Ladybug
When I worked on Wall Street, the CEO of our company would sometimes ask me for huge, labor-intensive projects, which were tons of extra work and would prevent me from doing the job I was supposed to be doing. When I would turn these projects in, he’d say things like, “What’s this? Oh, did I…

The Lady Of The House
By the time our daughter was born, it was obvious that our little garden apartment could no longer contain us. We’d shoved her crib into her big brother’s room, and wedged her changing table in a corner next the closet (the door of which could no longer enjoyed its full range of motion). Her dresser…

What’d You Call Me?
For the Podcast, click here! In the Old Testament, God sent Adam out to name all the animals. He came up with things like, dog, cat, hippopotamus – which is a lot of syllables for a guy who was just created. Kudos! Even so, people names can be a bit trickier because, let’s face it, a…

Give Them Love
For many, the holidays are a time of rejoicing, of abundance, and of feasting. But it can be the most difficult time of the year for many others. This SNORK is a public service announcement, dedicated to shining a light on a group of people who are often mocked, marginalized, and misunderstood. I am, of…

5 Steps To Being The Perfect Houseguest
The holidays are just around the corner, and for many of us, they involve traveling. Will you be bunking at someone’s home? Are you wondering if you need a refresher course on houseguest etiquette? Well, today’s your lucky day! Not only do I travel quite a bit, I’m also an innkeeper of sorts, since my…

Fluffy Got A Brazilian
Throughout history, hair has gotten a lot of attention. Entire books have been devoted to the subject, it is the stuff of legends and lore (Lady Godiva or Samson, anyone?) and pretty much every American parent has made a big deal of their child’s first haircut. My own daughter’s first trim was at the hands…

Recently, my husband and I celebrated out 22nd wedding anniversary. When people learn we’ve been married that long, they carry on with like we’ve just discovered the cure for psoriasis or something. But to us, 22 years doesn’t seem like a big deal. In fact, by our families’ standards, we are rookies. Hubby’s paternal grandparents (who…
