Making my kids hate me one post at a time.
This morning, while in my bathroom getting ready, I hear my almost-5-year-old yelling, “Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!” from the breakfast table. Annoyed, I get up from my make-up mirror and walk in there. “What’s the issue?” I say. He says to me with bright eyes, like he just remembered a new thing he’d learned, “We’re […]
Talking to strangers is, well, let’s be honest…not something I’m into. I’m not that big of a talker period. I don’t enjoy talking on the phone. I don’t even enjoy talking in person much of the time.

My son, Meyer, is engaged. I happily accept all of your congratulations and mazel tovs. I also freely admit that he is only a few months old, just met his fiance and drooled in her general direction for the first time this weekend, and is quite some time away from being able, physically even, to […]

What did you do today? I DESPISE this question. Because it has no good answer. All day long, I go from one thing to the other. The vast majority of the time, I don’t even finish one task before being called to another. Also, I can’t remember what I was just doing a minute ago […]
There are a lot of surprising things about having this new baby in the house. But the most shocking thing of all is how incredibly seamless the transition from only child to big brother has been for Asher. This child had me all to himself for 4 1/2 years and let me tell you, he’s […]
