If you read my post from last week than you already know that I was one of the co-hosts for the Hebrew National Better-Than-A-Picnic Picnic. It was held in the Southside of Randall's Island where many children and adults play sports such as soccer and baseball which equals to a perfect spot for a picnic! When I arrived to Randall's Island, I was so excited to see Cheryl Hines in person (and of course see my NYC bloggy friends) that I got lost. Yes. I. did. Randall's Island is a huge place … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday ~ That Pink Thing {Linky}
May 26, 2010 by 8 Comments
I finally got an iPod Touch for Christmas after asking for one for months from my husband. Ever since that "dreadful day" (as my husband calls it), I have been addicted. Everywhere I go, I have it in my hands. If we're watching a movie, I have it. If we're in the car and he's driving, I have it. I try to hide it but I'm always caught. If we're sitting on the sofa, he'll look towards me and and if I have it in my hands, he'll say this, "You have that pink thing in your hands again?" Never … [Read more...]

Three weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending the Wish-Bone Salad Night Live event with Tyler Florence from the Food Network. It was held at the beautiful Rustico Cooking School on the West side of New York City on 39th St. I was beyond thrilled to be a part of this special event because I was going to meet Tyler Florence, watch him cook literally a foot away and see up close and personal how Tyler dresses up his salads. And we’re not talking about just lettuce here people; he was going … [Read more...]
I’m Raising A Liar
May 20, 2010 by 6 Comments
Not by choice, that's for sure. It's my 13 year old. For some strange reason he feels the need to lie. I have no idea why. My husband and I have told him numerous times that liars will go nowhere and will always get caught. What does he not understand?? For Gods sake, he's 13, not 3. I would think that by age 10 kids would know the difference between lying and telling the truth - not my son. No way! He's lied about his homework way too many times. Just yesterday, his Math … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday – Rainbow Cloud
May 19, 2010 by 4 Comments
If you saw my WW two weeks ago, you'll probably think that I've been in a "sky mood" lately seeing the sky once again here for Wordless Wednesday. At that time, it was me that was finally happy to see the blue sky instead of gray clouds and rain. This time my daughter pointed out that the sky had a "Rainbow Cloud." I didn't understand her because I was driving but when I pulled over to see what she meant, I couldn't believe my eyes. I never saw something like that in my life so this was … [Read more...]

{Late} Almost Wordless Wednesday ~ The Best Weekend Ever!
May 12, 2010 by 5 Comments
This past Mother's Day was one of my favorite Mother's Day because I woke up to breakfast in bed and lots of love. My kids and husband were extremely happy that I appreciated everything too. They even left me in my room (although I felt lonely) to watch TV in peace. I have to honest though, I became a bit bored being in my bedroom all by myself. I can't help it. I'm used to being surrounded by my three lovely kids and my wonderful husband. They bring me tons of joy and happiness and that … [Read more...]
