Today is Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the Jewish New Year. I have so much to be thankful for … a healthy and beautiful child, a loving and hysterically funny husband, a generous family, a great new job, and a house (which could use a little organizing from time to time) that I absolutely love to come home to.   While I’m only a week and a day in on this “working mom” thing, I am starting to “get it.” The feelings of pressure, exhaustion, exhilaration as I try to balance a career and a home-life (baby, husband, dishes, etc). Even though I’m feeling swamped, here a couple things that I ...Read More

Well, what do ya know. I’m in to week FIVE of my four week diet. Whatevs. Shit happens. The good news is that I’m highly motivated now and I have actually lost a few pounds. The bad news is with the Olympics on all day and night, I feel like a sloth when I look at all these crazy ripped bodies. I mean, I don’t want to be ripped like the freaky little gymnasts with voices like Minnie Mouse, or like the female swimmers (frankly, having shoulders that broad would really fuck up my style). But I WOULD like for one day in my life, just to know what it’s like to ...Read More

 While nothing extraordinary took place, this past week did feel like a busy one, leaving me with a few things on my plate and on my mind… **  T-Ko and I finally got the chance  to go see a movie. We went to see “Dark Knight” and it freaked the shit out of me. The entire time, I had my sleeves covering my eyes and my nails digging into T-Ko’s hand. When we left, I thanked g-d that I wasn’t pregnant because I would for sure have had to call the doctor the next day, convinced that my shpilkes during all of  The Joker’s scenes had caused something terrible to happen to ...Read More

When we got to the Studio City Farmer’s Market yesterday, I was feeling pretty good. T-Ko and I had our double-shots on ice in hand, Baby-Ko was in great spirits and I was feeling sort of cute ( for not having taken a shower), dressed in a long maxi dress and scarf in my hair. Walking through the stalls, bumping into all the cute LA Mommies & Daddies and their little Chloe’s and Max’s as we search for asparagus under 3 bucks, I felt in my element. As I stood at the gate of the pony rides with Baby-Ko, pointing out that “the horse says ‘nayyy!’,” a Tall Daddy, taking ...Read More

4 days down. 26 more to go.  Yesterday for lunch I had a bowl of soup and four, I repeat FOUR (low sodium) wheat thins. Today for lunch I had a whole wheat english muffin with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, and 1 TEASPOON of honey. For a snack, I got an apple and swift kick in the vag.  I think I’ve been punked. Look, I promise not to only write about this diet for the next twenty-six-starvation-filled-days. But tonight, as I checked the assigned menu once, then twice, then went BACK to the original email of instructions to see if there was a dessert or even a piece of fucking fruit that ...Read More

8:45am. My phone rings. It’s DH. I try to sound like I’m not sleeping, but I am. Baby-Ko was UP for the day at 5am and went down for an early morning  nap. Subsequently, mommy went down for a nap then too.  DH tells me that he has some news he thinks I may want to hear….  MICHAEL BUBLE IS NOW SINGLE.   “Seriously?” I say. “Yes, just heard it. Thought you may get a kick out of that. Sorry I woke you.” “No. That’s okay. This is so exciting.” “I figured you could blog about it.” “Oh, I will. And I’ll also have to figure out what to do about T-Ko,” I joke… Kind of. ...Read More

It’s pretty depressing when the best and most flattering dress in your closet is a MATERNITY one (but just for the record, it is a Dianne Von Furstenberg and it’s fucking gorgeous.). I wore it all last summer when we had an event one weekend after the next and I was ten thousand months pregnant. But now, Mommy is not preggers and is in need of some major dress action…. We have a black tie wedding next weekend and a bar mitzvah the weekend after that, and then in October (yes, it’s still 3 months away but still), we are going back to Maui for my brother in law’s wedding ...Read More
