After about 13 years of working as an editor for various publications in New York City, I gave up my professional career to stay home with my two beautiful children. While I enjoy being a mom (mostly), the trials and tribulations that these two human beings put me through daily are enough to test the patience of a saint! And I am no saint.
I’ve spent the past four-and-a-half years struggling to find my way back to the autonomous, carefree woman I once was. My first step toward that goal came in June, when I took over as president of a local chapter of the International Moms Club. This role has introduced me to many wonderful moms, allowed me to flex my professional and creative muscles, and given me a whole new purpose! Most importantly, though, it’s motivated me to pursue my true dream: starting this blog.
I love to write, and I love to make people laugh, so that’s why I’m here. Full disclosure: I tend to be too open, a little (OK, a lot) sarcastic, and honest to a fault. I love my kids to the moon and back, but they drive me crazy and I’m not afraid to admit it or write about it.

GoT: Friends, Wine, And Memories (Episode 2)
“That’s what death is, isn’t it? Forgetting. Being forgotten. If we forget where we’ve been, what we’ve done, we’re not men anymore. We’re just animals. Your memories don’t come from books. Your stories aren’t just stories. If I wanted to…
GoT Premiere: A Feast For The Seven Kingdoms (Episode 1)

The Hard—And Scary—Side Of Parenting
Sometimes as a parent, we’re faced with unbelievably difficult (and often unthinkable) situations that both test and age us. My husband and I had one of those moments last night. But let me start from the very beginning. In early…
When Life Comes Full Circle
Back when I was in college (which, sadly, feels like eons ago), my roommates and I were hooked on the TV show “Felicity.” For those of you who aren’t familiar, the title character throws away her college (and future) plans…
Baby Steps For The (Momma’s) Soul
At this moment in my life, parenting experts—if there are such a thing—could probably use me as a case study in “How To Self-Reflect And Adjust Your Perspective After A Parenting Meltdown.” Three weeks ago, I woke up, hyperventilated myself…
Knee-Deep In A Mom-Life Crisis
Forget a midlife crisis, I think I’m going through a mom-life crisis. Just last week I blogged about not getting my four hours of freedom because of a snow day. I complained it was a conspiracy because every Tuesday since…
A Snow-Day Conspiracy
It’s a (insert expletive of your choice) conspiracy! When I decided to put my son in preschool a few months back, I had my schedule all worked out. My daughter would attend school every weekday except Thursday. Why did I…
