Celebrating the Rocks in My Life for Valentine’s Day: My Besties

Not everyone’s idea of a perfect valentine involves a guy. And at this point, I have as many friends who are divorced as are married. For women, our friends are often “our rocks” more than our husbands or boyfriends. When I’m having a bad day, they see it on my face immediately at 3pm pick up. When […]

Hey Dads, Here’s a Tip for Better Sex.

I volunteered to be class parent–which everyone calls “class mom” even though it is a gender non-specific position. The coordinators kindly sent me a list of the kids in my daughter’s class with emails in an excel spreadsheet, which is hugely helpful.

Your Vagina: Use It or Lose It.

Recently a friend was at a lecture about menopause and the thing that shocked her most was VAGINAL ATROPHY. She had never heard of it before, and was horrified at the prospect.

Tips for Living with a Non-Sharer

I suffer from a slight aversion to sharing, food that is. This not to be confused with stinginess. I’m somewhat sharing-impaired. I get my back up a bit when someone suggests sharing a bunch of little plates for dinner until I know what type of “sharers” I am dining with. You see, I’ve been burned. I wasn’t […]

Umm…You’ll Never Guess What Your Lawn Furniture Might Say About You!

Now that the weather seems to be finally turning nicer, it’s time to dust off the patio and lawn chairs, and get ready for summer. I don’t know about you, but after the unbelievable amount of rain, I know I am ready for a little sunshine. As I take my furniture out of storage wipe […]

My Mom and Her Mom Survived it…But Will I?

My mom survived it. Her mom survived it. Her mother before her survived it. And so on, but still, I can’t imagine losing my mom. Life without her seems truly unimaginable. I know it’s part of life, something we all have to endure, yet it seems completely unnatural to lose your mother. To say I […]

My Girlies – The Sisters I Never Had

My girlfriend Diana did one of the greatest things she could do for her friends – she opened up her home – a two bedroom , killer condominium in a high rise with an incredible view and beach – to her girls. By March we all were burnt out and desperately needed a break from […]
