Dedicated Post: Go to This
Don’t mind the RSVP cutoff, tickets are still available. If you’re around Saturday and looking for a good date night — and also a good cause — this fits the bill. Consider it killing three birds with one stone: you get out, you get cocktails and tapas; and you get to support the kids of Essex county. Everyone’s happy.
All I Want for Mother’s Day….
May 5, 2011
This Mother’s Day, I don’t want a nice brunch or a basket of flowers or some construction paper card with a finger paint hand print on it. No. I want the children to go to bed with only one story and a kiss, just like my imaginary children did before I got the real ones.
Surviving Spring Holidays
April 21, 2011
With Passover and Easter on a collision course in our inter-faith household, I’ve found myself scrambling to celebrate them both and still make it through the week in one piece.

But to my great relief, I’ve discovered that there’s maple sugar to be had right here in New Jersey. Who knew?
Fun Beyond the Funplex
February 24, 2011
The other day we brought one of our kids to a party at Funplex on Route 10 in Hanover, NJ. Funplex is every child’s fantasy — think Chucky Cheese on Steroids. Just when we thought it would be a nightmare to bring all four of our kids in there (we’d never get them out!), I did a bit of research to see what else was in the area as an alternate plan for my other kids.
A Day in Belleville… Yes, Belleville
November 18, 2010
Belleville is close to us. It is a historically Italian City in New Jersey and the restaurant that will be your main destination will make you want to return to Belleville again and again.
Community Children’s Museum: A Museum for the (little) People
November 4, 2010
The Community Children’s Museum in Dover, NJ is aptly named. It has a homespun feel, with a display of paper mache celebrities eating a feast and exhibits that were clearly made by loving hands especially for the museum.
