Many moons ago, I had a career. A pretty cool career. I was a TV Producer in New York City. I knew early on that I wanted to work in some aspect of TV. Then I took a television production course in college, and I was convinced. So after college, I fought my way into…

Wordless Wednesday – Beach Photo Bomb
WORDLESS WEDNESDAY PHOTO SHARE: It’s almost summer. One more day until school is out and our official beach season begins. I can’t wait to spend some long, sunny days at the beach. I found this photo from a couple of summers ago. It was a taken at the end of a lovely day at a beach…
The Countdown To Summer Break
The musical melody of birds chirping woke me up this morning. Such a lovely, peaceful sound. Just kidding, I’m a mom! I woke up with one dog licking my face, another licking my foot, and my two kids bouncing on top of me like a seesaw, chatting about summer break. My older child was excitedly…
It Happened: I Turned Into A Suburban Soccer Mom
There was a time, not that many years ago, when I was very afraid to become a soccer mom. The image that I envisioned with the title, “soccer mom”, or worse, “suburban soccer mom”, was not a good one. They are slightly crazy moms. Or so I thought. “Soccer moms” are those mini-van, driving moms…
Explaining Caitlyn Jenner To My Child
Tonight I explained Bruce Jenner’s transformation to my 9-year-old. It was a smoother conversation than I expected. Kids are naturally curious, and they notice more than we think. My kids don’t watch the nightly news on TV, or read People Magazine or US Weekly, but it’s natural in this digital age of information overload, for…
Scooby Doo Is On YouTube Now? Ruh Roh!
It’s the little things that make kids happy. We made a fun discovery this weekend. DCKids & Warner Bros’ have brand new YouTube channels! While that may not seem exciting to those of you without kids, for my son, it was probably the highlight of the weekend! My son loves Scooby-Doo, he could watch all…
The Forgotten Box In The Attic
THE ATTIC DISCOVERY: Spring cleaning recently led me to the back corner of my attic. A place I haven’t visited in the four years since we moved into our house. Besides cobwebs, I discovered several boxes with my name written on them. Forgotten boxes. I remembered them once I saw them. I have dragged these…
Are You Really Wearing That T-Shirt In Public?
While waiting in line at Dunkin’ Donuts, my daughter pointed to the man in front of us. In a louder-than-needed voice which all kids love to use, when they should be whispering, she said… “Mommy, Got Ticks? Why would anyone ask that? Who’s got ticks? Do I have ticks? Do you have ticks?” The man…
“Girls Are So Confusing”
Kids say the funniest things. I feel like I repeat that daily. But it’s true! My latest “kids funny” happened when I was at my kids’ school to volunteer in the school library. On my way to the library, I passed my daughter’s 3rd-grade classroom, and a friend of hers was sitting in the hallway…
A Mom’s Message To Daniel Tiger
Damn you Daniel Tiger. Yes, you are cute. Yes, you teach good lessons to my son. And yes, I love you much more than SpongeBob. But damn you for singing one song a hundred times in each episode. I end up with that song stuck in my head… all day long. My son likes to…
