Terror Part II

May 18, 2012

I’ve been talking about the need to “soften” Gabby up and have her reconnect with her girly side. Unfortunately the saga continues. The last three times I have picked her up from the gym childcare area, they have complained about her aggressiveness. She was supposed to be the good one! I would almost like to say she has a hitting [...]

We’re a Costco Family

April 17, 2012

I spent six and a half years living behind Costco. I shopped there when we entertained or for a few select items but for the most part I rarely went. People would rave at the luxury of living behind Costco and I would just sigh that it’s alright. Now that I’m a family of four, my feelings have changed. It’s [...]

Chrismukkah by Rachel Thompson

December 15, 2011

I grew up as what I endearingly call, a super jew. My Mom was the music teacher at my temple so I was always involved from a very young age. From religious school to Hebrew school, Jewish Overnight Camps and Temple Youth Groups, I really took it in. It became a central part of my identity. When it came time [...]

10th Time is a Charm? By Rachel

May 9, 2012

Six years ago, if you told me I would be blogging about running my TENTH (yes, 10!) half marathon, you could have knocked me over with a feather. But here I am, 2012 and TEN halfs later. They say that a half marathon is “half the time, twice the fun.” While I don’t know if anything can compete with the [...]

Quinoa…we meet again

May 16, 2012

So awhile back I tried a Black Bean and Quinoa dish. I fessed up that although I have had quinoa at restaurants and enjoyed it, I have never actually made quinoa and liked the end result. You people, a.k.a. my wonderful readers, gave me lots of recipes to try. I’m going to give Jessica Shiffman yet another call out, I’m [...]

Comfort Zone

May 17, 2012

Recently I acquired something on Craigslist. When I went to make the exchange, I discovered that the person I had been engaging with online had been a girl I had grown up with. In pulling up to her grown up house, it might as well have been her childhood house. Looking at the family she created, it seemed almost identical [...]

Code Pink Emergency

May 15, 2012

Houston we have a problem! There is no doubt that Drew is a boy’s boy. He has no interests that are even slightly unisex. It’s sports 24/7, he pretty much has zero interest in girls or girls’ activities (with one minor girl exception) and he seems to relate to the male parties in our family WAY more than the female [...]

Runs Gone By…

May 14, 2012

In our old neighborhood, I had gone for about ten thousand runs…maybe more. I had all the different routes tracked. I could anticipate every turn, every house, and in some cases every bit of landscaping. In my years of running around our old neighborhood, I had a “go to” mix I would listen to. Today I ran in our new [...]

Motherhood Defined

May 11, 2012

Some people say they have my eyes. My mother tells me that he has my temperament. I’d like to think she has my fashion sense. Its hard to say who they are and even harder to understand where they came from. Almost four years ago I became a mother. Yeah, I received my first Mother’s Day gift while my first [...]

I’m Legal Now!

May 10, 2012

It is officially official. Although it reminds me of when you change your name after you get married, months (or sometimes years) later you find something you totally forgot to change. I now have a license saying that I am a resident where I currently live. It’s ironic since Saturday we will be doing our very first walk through of [...]

Party Time!

May 7, 2012

I used to laugh at people like me. I used to think that I would never be one of those people who let their kids all encompass and define them. And now, low and behold, I’ve become exactly that! When friends ask what’s new, my answer has been that I’ve been planning my kids’ party. How could I have such [...]

I’m calling off birthdays!!!!!!!

May 4, 2012

This last week was spent full of birthday celebrations. Adam’s birthday makes a Polish wedding look like a short celebration. And although I’m grateful to put this eating out to an end, its been a ton of fun despite one minor (well major issue). All year long, Drew celebrates a variety of different people’s birthdays. Whenever we start discussing the [...]

You Go GF!!

May 3, 2012

Did you hear the news? It’s incredible really. She did it! People joked that she has spent as long as 72 months being pregnant, and Jessica Simpson FINALLY had her baby. I am just as guilty as anyone. I criticized her…physique. Jessica Simpson became known for her sultry beauty. Once glamorized as Daisy in the Dukes of Hazard (most known [...]

A House Divided

April 26, 2012

It has started. Somewhere, somehow I thought it could be different. Or maybe I just blocked it out. It’s hard not to get excited at the thought of winter turning to spring and eventually leading to summer. It’s easy to get caught up in everything that means…except when it comes to baseball. We have a mixed marriage. And in some [...]
