I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams. Funny? Sometimes. Scandalous? Hopefully. Inspiring? Perhaps. Full of love? Always.
Welcome to my World.

Making Baby’s First Food Fabulous
It’s no secret that I love a party. My sister always teases me about the fact that I use any excuse to create one: “Oh, it’s a full moon! Let’s have a party!; Oh my lily is blooming, let’s have a party!!; Oh my roses need ladybugs, let’s have a ‘releasing of the ladybugs party.’” I even had a bar mitzvah for my cat, Coco Bojangles. When he turned one-year-old and was graduating form kitten food to cat food, I…
Babylon
Ahhhh, we went to eat at Babylon Cafe on Maple Street tonight and I took one bite of the rice and labneh and instant intoxication. A flood of sense memories came rushing at me: so many years of being steeped in the best parts of Middle Eastern culture, the celebrations! Weddings, birthdays, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, I even danced at a Briss (circumcision) and at a hospital for a man on his deathbed. I’ve danced for Saudi royalty, dignitaries, and…
Pint-Sized Profanity
Today when we left the beach, Henry was hungry and tired and cranky. As he dragged his little feet through the sand, he said, “Mom? You are a pain in the ass!” I explained to him that “pain in the ass” is a “grown-up” phrase, meaning only big people can use it. I demonstrated other phrases he could use instead, such as “Pain in the Neck” or “Oh Boy!” but if he really wanted to say something cranky to his…

Adventures of a Glamour Girl Living in the Sandwich Generation
It’s going down for real! Last night at 1am, I was binge watching Grey’s Anatomy at 1am and happened to have my phone next to me. I have a Nest motion sensor camera in my parent’s room just in case they fall in the middle of the night. The camera turns on if there is movement in the room and pings my phone and starts recording. They are at the other end of the house in their own area and…
Substitute Teaching (AKA Shock Therapy)
Darling! I was called in to substitute teach yesterday at the kids’ school. I was in the art room working with 3rd, 5th and 6th graders. It was my first time working out of the house in nine years, and I agonized over my outfit–how to look professional, yet kid-friendly. My tata’s are DDD so it’s very difficult for me to find a shirt that doesn’t show cleavage. Pretty much everything I put on makes me look like I’m going…
Lusquiver, Yumtober, Sunshiftmania… Traveling and The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows
I live in “lusquiver.” No it’s not a town in New England you have never heard of, nor is it a kingdom springing from a fairy tale. It’s a word I stumbled upon in my current favorite book, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. “Lusquiver” is defined as “caught in the monotonous drudgery of life, as mediocrity weaves itself into the fabric of the everyday, the soul aches for an escape, yearning to shed the weight of the drearily familiar and…
