Days of Summer Week 1

I can’t believe this school year has come to an end, it really went by fast and then I blinked and it was over. Part of my is still shocked that it’s over and a part of me is relieved. This past week life without a schedule has been busy and wonderful. I’m almost hesitant […]

Low Calorie Pina Coladas

Last week I bailed on my cocktail recipe, honestly the weather was awful and I felt like diving into a bottle of red wine, rather than mixing up some fun cocktails. But this week the weather has done a total 180, and I’m back in a drink making mood, and ready for a Pina Colada. […]

Strawberry Cocktail Recipes

It’s strawberry season here in New Jersey and it’s a very short season, just about 3 weeks. Which means we have to squeeze as much enjoyment out of those berries as we can. Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits and they are so versatile and work well in a variety of recipes from desserts […]

What I’ve Learned in 4 Years of Blogging

Last month marked four years of blogging for me, I know craziness, right? When I started writing in this space, there was so much I did not know. But I guess that is what happens when you start a blog on an idle Tuesday while running on 3 hours of sleep and the hope that […]

Surviving Snow Days With Kids

Every time I hear the words “snow days” I get nostalgic for my pre-kid days when a snow day meant lounging around the house watching movies and drinking snow-beers. And I can’t help but remember the snow days from when I was a kid, when I would anxiously listen for my schools name to be […]

Why I give

This time of year, we are asked a lot, to give. It seems as if every organization is asking for a donation and the school is collecting money for the food bank and work wants you to adopt a child. I get it, it’s a lot, it’s overwhelming. But if you ask me, I will […]

The Year of Yes

On the night of my 32nd birthday I told John that this year was going to be the year of yes. That I was going to say, “yes” to everything. I was going to take on new things, seize new opportunities and have new adventures. I was going to say yes, without hesitation or reservation. […]

Everybody Loves Saturday Night?

In Jackson’s music class we sing a song called, “Everybody Love’s Saturday Night”. And as we are banging our drums and singing along I can’t help but think, who is this “everybody” because clearly this room is full of toddlers and moms and I’m fairly certain none of us love Saturday night. Lately my weekends […]

It’s About Old Friends

We don’t get together as often as we should. Life has changed for all of us. But years ago we got together all the time. There were parties and dancing on tables. Nights out at bars with fake names like Kendal and Lana. Long nights fueled by shots named “red headed slut”. There were car […]

Give a Gal a Cocktail and an LBD

I had circled April 4th 2009 on my calendar in red. Not because I was looking forward to it but because I didn’t want it to sneak up on me. It was my 10 year high school reunion, and I was dreading it. If you asked anyone who knew me in high school, they would […]
