We have collectively weathered some dark days. I know I have. I joke around that I’m a sunny curmudgeon as I’m a New Yorker who lived in California for a decade (not all consecutively). I have a New York vibe that is just a bit off-kilter. I’m an […]
I have come to dislike when people referred to me as superwoman or supermom. For I am neither. I’ve done what I can. I’ve tried my best. Let me backtrack . There was a time when I did buy into the superwoman label. I was doing it all. […]
Hands down the “holiday” I love observing the most at home is that of my son’s birthday. I love Christmas, Halloween and Easter. However, his birthday is my everything. This is because … Well, I think the reason why is obvious. His birthday is coming up on a […]
Almost every year, it rains on my birthday. I’m a May baby. Somone who loves spring despite the allergies. Even the rain can’t keep me down. Today is my birthday and besides the rain, there’s a pandemic. I get to wear a mask and stay six feet away […]
I usually love the month of May. It’s my month. It’s my birthday month. Flowers blossom and birds chirp. The air has a twinkle. There’s an extra step in my pep. Or extra pep in my step. However, this is the pandemic era. Birthdays take an extra meaning […]

It’s hard to believe. That time of the year has come back around. It is my baby’s birthday. He’s not a baby, really. But that is besides the point. Eleven years ago, he came into the world wide-eyed. I will never forget that face and those eyes. I […]
Growing up one celebrated one’s birthday on that set day or maybe on a weekend day. However, it wasn’t (at least not for me) a month-long celebration. Now, many people I know go big for their birthday with month-long celebrations. I am not quite at that stage but […]
I’m not typically so bold but this year I went bold. Very bold. Well, not that bold. But some thought I was bold.I hate throwing birthday parties. I threw one for my son a few years back and I was a nervous wreck. I was worried no one […]
It is my son’s birthday month and I am ecstatic. As is he. I want every weekend to be a fun-filled, action-packed adventure for him. Well, maybe not adventures in the grander sense of the word . But I think you get what I mean. I want him […]
