Living Outside the Box You may think I’m a contradiction. I listen to the Grateful Dead, I buy only organic when I can, I vote conservative. I don’t wear makeup, I buy expensive shampoo, I owned a Bugaboo and I buy most of my clothes at Target.

Indoctrination Into Thankful
My good friend Lizzi over at Considerings started something a while back called Ten Things of Thankful. It's an all weekend show where lots of amazing bloggers participate in taking stock, looking at their life and reminding themselves what they have to be thankful for.

Genesis 1 – In the beginning I was Jewish
This is what I remember. We only ever had a Christmas tree when my brother was living with us. He was half and half. That's what we called it. I don't know at what age you actually understand what having a half-sibling means. To me it meant my brother hated my Mother and that he … Continue reading Genesis 1 – In the beginning I was Jewish
Oh, Coco No
It's not okay. We always say, "We will never forget." But will we forget if it means we still get to wear our favorite perfume or carry our ultra-hip handbag?

This is about “Breaking” the parenting mold, isn’t it?
It's been a while since I've posted. And I'm sorry about that. I've been on sort of a mental sabbatical. And when I say mental, I truly mean that I believe my senses have been dangerously close to leaving me. It's amazing how easily you can forget who you are. Especially when the pressure is … Continue reading This is about “Breaking” the parenting mold, isn’t it?
The Lighter Side – When I married him I thought he was just driven. Part 1
So, I have this husband, and you know, he's really awesome. He's nice to everyone. Literally. Even me. He's so nice to everyone, you might say he's too nice. Here's an example, one time he gave this complete stranger, a women, his phone number, she was clearly kind of "off". He thought she seemed "nice", … Continue reading The Lighter Side – When I married him I thought he was just driven. Part 1
