I have a problem with saving. I probably save too much stuff and not enough money…but my real issue is that I get way too caught up in saving living things. My husband noticed this one day on a lovely walk on the beach. Instead of enjoying the breathtaking views and smelling the amazing combinationContinue reading “Saving Wormy”

SLOJ
Sammy, Lionel, Olivia, and Jacob… better known as SLOJ…grabbing the ABBA model of using first initials to create a band name. I would have forgotten all about the Thanksgiving band SLOJ if it were not for a memory popping up on my husband’s fb account. Unfortunately, unlike ABBA, SLOJ lasted about 2 hours. They brokeContinue reading “SLOJ”
The Moon
This morning my little guy was focused on the rocket ship box. Getting in, putting on his goggles (made out of cardboard of course), closing the doors and hatches, and taking off…this meant I was counting down and shaking the box as he giggled inside. He would pick a planet, have a little visit, thenContinue reading “The Moon”
Boxes
Rocketships and houses. Campers and boats. Magical props to cut friends in half. A big box was a blank canvas, a ticket to a fun-filled day. Opening our imaginations to ideas yet discovered. When I was a kid boxes were kind of special…they did not just arrive on doorsteps everyday. We went to the supermarket,Continue reading “Boxes”
Gentle Reminders
When my kids were in their late teens, I used to send them memes to start their day. Little bits of goodness reminding them to blah blah blah and not for forget to blah blah blah. Since crisp and clear words leaving my mouth entered their brains as Peanuts gang adult gibberish, why not sendContinue reading “Gentle Reminders”
March 5, 2020
The house was freezing, it was still dark. I jumped out of bed 10 minutes before my alarm went off, I always seem to wake up before the alarm. It was going to be the best day. I turned up the heat so the house would be cozy. Packed some seltzers, muffins, and bananas…just inContinue reading “March 5, 2020”
My Little Guy
My Little Guy When my son was in 8th grade he was cast as Danny Zuko…which meant a lot to this mama (who was a tween in 1978). I saw Grease at least three times in the theater, which was unheard of back then. Little Neck Movie Theater on Northern Boulevard in Queens. The floorContinue reading “My Little Guy”
Me Time
Me Time: Swoon 46 Last week my husband showed up at dinner dressed in a suit and tie. No reason, he just wanted to make his ladies laugh. On Saturday we had a dress as a rainbow dinner… no reason, we just needed to do something silly. I see social media videos with families dressingContinue reading “Me Time”
Undies on the Outside
Undies on the Outside: Swoon 38 When my kids were little every day was dress up day. They were Muppets and superheroes, they were brides, princesses, ninjas, cowgirls, Star Wars characters, and pirates… Every. Single. Day. One house rule was when dressing as Superman, if we were leaving the apartment, one must wear the redContinue reading “Undies on the Outside”
Bath Time
Bath Time: Swoon 36 When I was young I loved bath time. We had a huge tub, probably from the 40s, before water conservation was even a thought. At some point glass walls and a sliding door were added, creating an enclosure. We would fill the tub to the brim, and close the door, creatingContinue reading “Bath Time”
