Got Plot? Maybe Not!
I was honored when a friend allowed me to read her unpublished novel and proud when I finished it. Her heartwarming story involves a myriad of quirky, interesting yet different characters who I felt I got to know within the course of reading the book. As I learned about the characters, I emailed my friend Continue reading

Dear Lego,
Dear Lego, I love you. I really do. You amaze me on a daily basis with your ingenuity. That in this day and age of high def and iPads you can keep kids’ attention with simple, plastic interlocking 3-D shapes, is astonishing. That you can create this: . . . blows my mind. Really. The Continue reading

Opera Night
Last night, my husband and I put on our fancy pants and headed to the Opera. The Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center, New York City to be exact. I know–first Foxwoods, now this.

My Boy Band of Bloggers
It’s Friday night and I have two things on my mind: guilt and boys. Boys because I am surrounded by three of them here, and tomorrow that number increases to four. Nope, not pregnant and going into labor; rather, my brother is dropping off my sweet little nephew for the weekend. Guilt because it’s Friday Continue reading

Bonkers at Bingo
In addition to tuition for JC’s enrollment in private school, my husband and I are required to accumulate thirty “service points” per year. The school offers many options for obtaining points, but the best “bang for your buck” points-wise, for working parents at least, is to work Bingo. Yes, Bingo. “We” (by that I mean, Continue reading

On Being in the Mood…
Do you ever find that you are not in the mood to write? That you’d rather just sit and veg out, or sleep, or stare at a blank wall? That you’d rather do anything other than fire up the laptop? Do you have days where writing or blogging seem like a gargantuan effort and you Continue reading
