Family.

What does your family look like? My Dad is an only child. My Grandma is 92 and always learning and has lived on the west coast since 1981. I never got to meet my Grandfather, however, through my Dad, I feel like I know him. He was the type of guy who could both save […]

And Now There are Three (Cats)

Tuesday marked three weeks since we said goodbye to our cat, Lucy. It’s been a whirlwind and I know that no other animal will ever fill the space in my heart that she left. I wasn’t sure how quickly I would want to add more animals to our family, however, our other cat, Jack, has […]

I Wrote This Because Gabe Said I Should

Through the power of social media I’ve learned that I know some exceptionally awesome people and Gabe is one of them. We have some amazing conversations over messenger and, while I haven’t seen him probably since 2002ish I hung out with his wife at the Philly Pride Parade this year. She is also super cool […]

Farty Taco

Yup, you read it right. My dad came up with this lovely character a year or two ago when we were visiting my snowbird parents in their rental apartment in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He has invented an entire backstory to Farty. He’s married, vacations in Cancun, and is having some trouble holding down a job. […]

Thank You To My Cat

This year I’m trying to think of others a bit more. It’s easy to take people in your lives for granted and not show them the appreciation they deserve. While, for me, it’s spending time that shows the most appreciation I wanted to get something for my family that will remind them of me and […]

New Years Resolutions…KIDDING. I’m talking about boxes.

Who am I? Can you describe me? The answer depends on who is evaluating me, the way you know me and your past experience. One day I could be A. The cool mom taking their kids to a drag show OR B. The mom messing their kids up so much they will be keeping therapists […]

Like a Kid at Christmas

I did not celebrate Christmas as a kid. We were one of the few Jewish families in my rural area so while we were able to partake in the “go to the movies” tradition we didn’t have good Chinese food nearby so I only had it when we went to my Grandparents in Scarsdale, NY. […]

We All Have Some Sort of Issue…This Is One Of Mine

When I write a post I share it with my family to proofread. I want to make sure there are no glaring errors or something that could be taken the wrong way. In one post I mentioned that I have OCD. I was asked by one proofreader whether I thought I should share that. I […]

Knitting is Nothing Like Laundry

I am a knitter. Or a Knitter – sometimes people like to capitalize to show their ownership of the title. Bottom line is that I like to make things with knitting needles and yarn. I learned to knit in 2007 from my husband’s coworker. He was having a bunch of people over to watch football […]

Why Drag Isn’t My New Yogurt

My family has a running joke about me. When I am interested in something I not only dive in head first but I also enthusiastically discuss every detail of my love for that particular topic and invite them to love it just as much as me. Whatever it is it will CHANGE THEIR LIVES. Yogurt. […]
