46 was about doing unto others. And now...already...it's 47. 47 has absolutely no idea what she will do today. 47 is absolutely positive she's going to create a 50 by 50 list in the next week or three. 47 isn't where she imagined she'd be at 47. She's both more than and less than she'd envisioned. 47 is hoping this is the year she reclaims her love of the 40's (years zero through ... Continue Reading
Declaring Independence.
I love today. Fireworks, friends, pools and parades. In addition, a few years ago I created my own twist to the 4th of July experience: Today I declare independence. From bad habits. From good ones. From Diet Coke (OK maybe not for long...). From worrying. From anything which weighs me down and holds me back. I dedicate time each July 4th to examine ... Continue Reading
Gourmesso versus Nespresso: the great caffeine showdown.
(fancy on left. my brand on right.) Disclaimer: This post is not sponsored. This post is born from caffeine-addicted curiosity and the result of a gift from a friend. Once upon a time I gave up coffee. My coffee maker died (pour some grounds out for the fallen homie) and, with all that was *already* happening to disrupt my sleep/wake me early, I chose not to replace it. I quickly got ...

Wave To A Stranger Day.
c is for connection. There's a story and, while I have no idea where it originated (urban legend? true tale spread through social media?), each time I read it I think: YES. This. This is why we should smile, connect, wave to strangers. The anecdote varies each time I encounter it, but its essence remains something like this: I noticed my friend would wave to people when we were out ... Continue Reading
I brought the Cadbury Creme Egg to the USA!
Once upon a time I met a boy. He was different from others I'd dated (in myriad ways) with one being the fact he frequently told me he couldn't wait for our "honeymoon period" to be over. I like the time when I've heard all the other person's stories and begin to hear them for a second time. For him the second telling-time wasn't an internal eye-roll I've heard this before experience, but ... Continue Reading
An Ode To Our Squatty Potty.
This post is not sponsored. It's an outgrowth of a Facebook status which prompted a flurry of questions about the procurement of our Squatty Potty. We potty purchased ourselves. There are no affiliate links below. La Di Da Di, we like to SQUATTY. We don't cause trouble we don't bother nobody. We're just two girls who're...on the pot. When we need to poop you KNOW how we ...

Taking a break from regularly scheduled programming.
I had a post slotted to run today, but decided some space is more what I need. I'll be back Monday. Recently a friend shared this thought with me: You need an intermission to reconnect with your mission. More than growing defensive (a reaction I've learned indicates someone has captured something about me I wish to avoid)--I realized she was right. These next few days will be my ... Continue Reading
Hanukkah miztvahs.
To the Child's dismay Hanukkah ends this Sunday night. To the Child's delight (!) we still have many, many kind acts (AKA mitzvahs) left to do this month. Today and this weekend we are off living and not blogging about life. Spreading happiness (we hope), eating fried potatoes & donuts (for sure) and definitely definitely making the most of what we've got. <3 ... Continue Reading
Jews on Santa’s lap.
In the second batch of photos we received of our daughter (about 8 days after she was born) she was in Santa's arms. Sure as Jews we found this a little funny, but coupled with the fact she seemed to be sleeping whilst holding up her little finger as if to say I'm number one!! we somehow decided the entire thing was hilarious. And a tradition was born. A tradition that most likely ... Continue Reading
Thankful.
Currently, Lately I've felt crappy about feeling crappy. So much happening in the world. So many friends challenged with real struggles. And yet *still* I wanna whine. A lot. About small crap which feels like big crap. And that's OK. I wont proffer the #firstworldproblems disclaimer frequently used in social media either. As, right or wrong, I live in the first world and ... Continue Reading
