On starting a start up…

November 20, 2011

Emily had a great idea for me whenever I get into a writer’s block here: that I should talk about what it’s been like starting a company as a mom, and as… well… just what it’s been like. It’s a great idea. Every day I’m living and breathing the growth, success and viability of the [...]

My friends (their uncles) and my dad write books

November 13, 2011

Being in the blog world that I am, it’s not so uncommon that I would know folks who’ve published books. As hard as it is to get a book published, and, it’s HARD, I know it, there are so many talented women and men out there that I know who’ve made it happen. Like my [...]

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 [...]
