I recently had the honor and pleasure of speaking on the air with the amazing Maria Milito. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marias-mutts-stuff/id1481494152 . Not only is she a longtime radio DJ for I Heart Media’s Q104.3 mid-days, but she is also the creator and host of Maria’s Mutts and Stuff, a podcast that shines a spotlight on many things […]

Ahhh, Fall is here.  I don’t know about you, but this summer flew by like no other before. Here and gone so fast, like a meal at chipotle—hot spicy and delicious, only to exit our lives/intestinal tracts seemingly too unexpectedly quick. In summer our adult lives go on mostly the same, while we are left […]

Yesterday I went on a mini-journey. And I don’t mean a dumb metaphoric journey like the one the Bachelorette goes on as she finds her husband she will be married to for 5 hot seconds.  I mean a real trip where I went from one location to another, and a lot of scary things happened […]

Pro tip: if you nearly white out your face through overexposure, you don’t see your developing wrinkles.

So why else are cats not exactly winning these days?  No, it actually doesn’t have anything to do with the eponymous embarrassing musical movie version (although sync cringe-inducing nausea), but instead the Easter holiday upon us. Dandelion needs answers and he needs them now For those of you who don’t already know, the Easter lily […]

our zombies of the apocalypse We’re here in New Jersey in the middle (or more likely just the beginning) of the COVID-19 outbreak.  There’s still no toilet paper in stores and we’re hoarding our last rolls like we are in a Soviet prison circa 1949.  Our own kids are all home from school but we […]

I am perpetually seeking to give my kids authentic experiences.  The Real Deal, let’s-make-this-from-scratch, “home-made is heart-made.” The results are often disappointingly lackluster, because, frankly, I am not a professional, and neither are they.  I am, weirdy, often surprised, even shocked, at the cringe-worthy results.   Perhaps I get cocky, and forget I went to […]
