Big week

October 31, 2011

Last week was one of those weeks where I over-committed a bit. It’s been awhile since that has happened. A quick re-cap, because we all know how often I blog. Ha! I introduced our new client, Artizone (launching in February and you will be glad when it does!) to my BFF moms in business friends [...]

Blogging, 5 years later

October 12, 2011

When I started this blog five years ago, in 2006, I had no clue I’d still be around today updating this site. I’ve had my ups and downs and love/ hate relationship with blogging, but yet, I still persist after all these years. And, I remain quite true to myself – look at my first [...]

L’Shana Tova Tika – Taco

September 28, 2011

For those who know me, you know I don’t cook all that much, but I do try to do celebrate the Jewish holidays semi- properly. There was the year that I made the most-delicious-never-to-be-repeated-ever-brisket that knocked the socks off my family. Tomorrow, we are actually going to the family service for Rosh Hashana tomorrow, not [...]

In the stream

September 25, 2011

My dad always had a saying, “Once you’re in the stream, you’re golden.” Meaning, if you want to be networking and doing, and working, you have to get in the proverbial stream of fish, and go… I’m obviously my father’s daughter. When I see a chance to jump in, if I can, I will. This [...]

48 Hours

September 22, 2011

That’s how long I’ll be gone on a business trip for the She Streams Conference tomorrow. This is slightly shorter than my foray down south in May for Mom 2.0, also the last time I went away on a work trip. Forty-eight hours is nothing for me but apparently a lifetime for my eldest son [...]

Remembering 9/11

September 11, 2011

Ten years ago today I sat in my cubicle in a big NYC skyscraper in Times Square thinking about what a beautiful, clear, crisp fall day it was. Next thing I knew I was walking down 20 flights of stairs and 2.5 miles downtown to my Union Square apartment thinking the world as we had [...]

Five trends moms can FALL for

September 5, 2011

As we all anxiously await the release of Missioni’s line for Target, we must remember that there is fashion life outside the big red dot. (Or, maybe I just have to keep reminding myself.) Yes, Fall is my favorite fashion season, and while my son hasn’t even started Kindergarten yet, the stores and my brain [...]

No more kids. No girl. So stop asking.

August 24, 2011

Now that the baby burrito is almost two, I’m getting the typical inquiry I got when my eldest turned two. “So, are you having any more kids?” That inquiry seemed benign enough when I had one. We always planned in having another. But when baby burrito arrived after all the pregnancy drama , we pretty [...]

So, in other news, I’m NOT going to shutter the blog

August 18, 2011

But it was fun to see what would happen if I threatened to do it. (The PR people stopped sending me pitches for at least 5 days.) The resounding opinion from friends was, no, please don’t shut it down. Just take a vacation, or so something less drastic. Like attend an event today for TJ [...]
