Not your typical gay, Jewish mom-in-the-suburbs blog. I aim to entertain even if that means the joke is on me. And sometimes I make people blush a little.

  • The school district hates me

    Posted on Wednesday October 21st, 2009 at 20:07 in suburbia, our kids

    Asher has always been a great sleeper. For this I am grateful. He goes to bed at 7pm, and we usually have to wake him up at 7:45am to get to the bus on time. This leaves few hours after school for homework and general recreation...for which I am g...

  • He did it!

    We lost the battle, and FreezeFoe is not to be-well not with Quirky, anyway. But, today was a great day nonetheless. “How so?” you ask. “Hadn’t you put all your hopes and dreams into that drink thing only to be told that your idea sucks an...

  • Day 1: No surprises

    Posted on Thursday September 3rd, 2009 at 13:48 in suburbia, our kids

    The good news is that I did not waste energy making myself a nervous wreck about today-the first day of Kindergarten. Furthermore, I had anticipated just about everything that happened. Oh the horror. I will tell the tale for those of you who are ...

  • Porch season

    Posted on Monday April 20th, 2009 at 07:08 in friends, suburbia, gay stuff, using my potty mouth

    Sunday, Gabriella took the boys to Queens to hang out with Zia and Zio gifting me an afternoon alone. By myself. With no one around. Sola. Does absence make the heart grow fonder, or is a single afternoon an insufficient amount of time to allow t...

  • The 11th commandment-summer camp

    Posted on Friday April 3rd, 2009 at 23:39 in motherhood, suburbia, jewish stuff, seasonal stuff

    I haven’t been as proactive about booking play dates for Levi as I was with Asher. Levi often tags along to my coffee mornings with other mom friends who have dropped their older children off at school or else we just hang out. He’d enjoy a mus...

  • Breaking up is hard to do

    Posted on Monday December 15th, 2008 at 23:11 in friends, motherhood, suburbia

    I envy the life of a working parent occasionally. When Gabriella did have a job, she would leave the house and get a grown-up cup of coffee and talk to grown-ups about grown-up things on the train and then spend the day at work with other grown-ups ...

  • G-Watch Y2K

    Posted on Saturday December 6th, 2008 at 20:01 in suburbia, my lady-friend

    Yesterday, Peaches & Coconuts enjoyed the highest amount of traffic to date. It could be that word of my delightfully entertaining prose has spread across cyberspace. Or it could be that, as mentioned previously, the dire state of camel toe is reac...

  • Asher is 5

    Posted on Sunday November 23rd, 2008 at 22:34 in suburbia, our kids, seasonal stuff

    I know it has been a long day when I start tearing at a pet adoption commercial. It wasn’t even one of those abused-dog-in-cardboard box-outside-in rain kind of commercials. There was a woman trying to bond with her newly adopted dog by playing c...

  • Outrage and lashings

    Posted on Thursday November 13th, 2008 at 06:59 in motherhood, suburbia, jewish stuff, promoting people and things

    In a previous blog I had mentioned that Gabriella was outraged that Asher’s pre-school had not discussed the election in class. Well, I got a lashing from the director of the pre-school who is also my friend and loyal reader of the blog. Hi S! ...
