Leaving Brooklyn…In Style
We are so ready for this move to the suburbs. So, so ready. We did our time in Manhattan and then in Brooklyn. We tried our best and have wonderful memories of both, but it is time to follow the other ‘three child families’ to the land of grass and guest rooms. For us, the […]

That would be, “This Isn’t Fair, I Don’t Want To Choose.” (You are reading a Mommy Blog, my friend, so I am assuming you already know the acronyms for Stay At Home Mom and Working Mom. And if you didn’t before, well, now you do.) First of all, let me say that I know I […]

We’ll Be Back in the High Life Again
I’m sitting here at the kitchen table, waiting for my husband to come home from class. Sticky with sweat. Sucking on one of Carlitos’ homemade orange juice popsicles… that I keep dipping in a mug of vodka. Yeah, it was that kind of day. A full day of looking at apartments in Brooklyn with the […]
