On Aug 12, 2010, a major item on my bucket list was checked ✔ off. I still can’t believe it was 11 years ago I attended what was one of the best concerts I had ever been to. Ok I am biased. To me, Paul McCartney is in a superior class all by himself. I enjoyed … More Shout-out to the Dude Next to Me at the Paul McCartney Concert
Last night was my first dinner out with friends in a long time. It was everything I expected it to be: fun, delicious, and nostalgic. It was also surreal, like we weren’t supposed to be there together, mask-less and within arm’s length. As we sipped our cocktails and shared updates on what’s going on in … More Getting Back to Normal…Whatever That Means

Writing is a bitch it turns out. As much as I wanted to continue blogging, the thoughts … More Good to Be Back

Indeed it is almost impossible not … More Cooking – The Sandro Mauro Way
So 7 months into this clusterf**k of a year and I am proud to say that I don’t miss getting up early to dress up and beautify myself before heading out the door into rush hour pandemonium. Am I crazy?? I think not. Here’s the thing. The old morning routine has merely become a distant … More You say Unkempt, I say Sloppy Chic.
I used to be cool, hip, “with it”, rad, awesome (ok maybe I am pushing it…a little). Then life happened. Somewhere between settling down to start a family and having my first child, it seemed the “coolness” factor went right out the window. Gone were the days of driving my cute little Hatchback to pick … More Chronicles of an Uncool Mom
SPOILER ALERT***Bookmark this post if you haven’t seen the Netflix series Dead To Me, then come back and read it!*** I could use a “Jen” in my life – the kind you find while binge-watching a Netflix series and ponder whether the F-bomb is overused in daily conversation. (In the make-believe world, it doesn’t seem … More Why Jen is My New Anti-Hero
