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
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
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 ...

Breaking up is hard to do
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
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
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
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! ...
