Your email: American Girl dolls. American Girl dolls is all I have been hearing for over a year. Our daughter can’t get enough of them and when asked what she would like for her birthday, the holidays, or on a Wednesday (joke), she doesn’t pause to take a breath or give the question any additional [...]
It’s the holiday season and you know what that means? Adam and I are co-parenting with the big man: Santa Claus. Even though we are Jewish, for the past 8 years, we have insisted that Santa visits all of G-d’s children regardless of their religion. For most of her life, Santa has surprised Kayla with [...]

Struggling for things to do this weekend? Can’t decide what to do because it all looks fun? Please join me at Navy Pier while K and I check out some of the best gifts for the holidays and for next year. She is always in the market for a new toy! The fair runs this [...]
I was skeptical when I learned that the great “O” had scheduled a new show after a 3 month hiatus. But this time she’d be on with a twist–she was going to harness the power of the internet and social media. And then I got the call, um, tweet: ?Would I be interested in coming [...]

This post was inspired by the Pioneer Woman’s list of the top 22 things that she has never done and by Kat from “Mama’s Losin’ It.” We started counting down the days to my 40th birthday last May. As the day draws ever closer, I took a moment to list the top 22 things that I have [...]
