Wake Up Call
Do you ever feel like the Universe is trying to tell you something? Normally I don’t—but last week it did and I feel like I would be doing everyone a disservice if I didn’t put this out. What happened was seriously so sucky that if I can prevent it from happening to just a few people, I’ve done my job. Here’s…
Read More15 Things Little Girls Do
There is nothing like a little girl. They are unicorns, bubble gum, rainbows and ribbons. They are also whiney, pouty, b**chy and crazy. When it was time for us to start a family, I always wanted girls. We adopted the first kid so we got to pick, but the second one was a crapshoot. When the technician told us we…
Read MoreDamaged Goods
On Monday I went nuts on my kids. When I turned around to see BOTH of them on their stomachs, hanging over the seats, a$$es in the air and shoes on the ceiling of my MONTH OLD CAR, I went nuts. I have told my 8 year old on several different occasions that, as a rule, dirty…

There’s a kid at camp named Chase Perlman. He was a camper for many years and now he’s a counselor. Chase Perlman has two brothers and they are equally as awesome as he is. They come from a very special family, and they are all very special to us. One night during the summer of 2013, Chase Perlman…

Here we go: **************************************** –When did all of this anti-Semitism begin? Anti-Semitism (hatred of Jewish people) started forever ago, but I’m sure the person asking the…
Read MoreDear President Obama,
Dear President Obama, I have been going back and forth about whether or not I should discuss the Israeli-Hamas war on Dim Sum and Doughnuts. It’s not a topic I feel totally comfortable with for the following reasons: A) There are lots of different perspectives out there. B) I have been living at an overnight…
Read MoreThe 6 Drivers I Hate The Most…
Last weekend, my brother-in-law got married to an amazing girl. In her wedding speech, she said that she never uses the word “hate.” I loved that. When I was a kid, my dad never let us say “hate” either—he’d always say “Hate’s a pretty strong word,“ so it made us realize that we didn’t really…
