The History

Pumpkin Picking

We had wonderful weather here over the weekend…I mean gorgeous weather. It was perfect timing too considering my sister, Jill, had organized a whole pumpkin picking/decorating party for Saturday. We took the kids out to a local farm and enjoyed all the fall attractions they had set up including a hayride to pick our pumpkins. [...]

Barrington Harvest Festival

We took full advantage of the beautiful weather we had this weekend and headed out to a local harvest festival on Saturday morning with my sister and her daughter. Several blocks were closed off for pedestrians. There were pony rides for the kids. Sophia (and bunny) took in the sights from the comfort of the [...]

Be Jealous

Be very jealous. (Apple Cider Wine from Valenzano Winery; Shamong, NJ) Valenzano didn’t compensate me for this post (although feel free to VW!); I just love their wine that much.

It’s Here! It’s Finally Here!

It finally feels like fall. We were finally able to turn off the air conditioning Thursday evening and open the windows. It has been incredibly wet, humid and all around dreary in the region since the beginning of August. AUGUST! Two months of soggy grounds, thick, stagnant air and bad hair days. The craptastic weather [...]

What I Did On My Summer Vacation

Tomorrow is my first day back to work since I went out on maternity leave June 6. I do.not.want.to.go.back. “Going back” is a relative term considering my office is literally down the ten foot long hallway from my bedroom. There is no dress code as evidenced by the fact that I wore pajamas until noon [...]

That Bitch!

Not only did Hurricane Irene prevent my local Pizza Hut from delivering a large deep dish pizza to me on Saturday around 5 p.m. (it was only raining then!) but she decided to fuck with my house and my breast milk. The red circled areas are the water stains from where the roof leaked into [...]

Happy Natural Disaster Week!

In the last seven days, South Jersey and the surrounding area have had floods, an earthquake and now we’re staring down the barrel of a category two hurricane. I’m pretty sure it was prophesized in the Book of Revelations that New Jersey residents would die when the trifecta of flood, earthquake and hurricane happened. I [...]

Earthquake You Say?

Yep, I’m probably one of the few people who did not feel the “Mediocre Earthquake of 2011″ that struck South Jersey yesterday afternoon. Either I was driving or I was in the house and completely oblivious. The only way I found out about it was from my father-in-law pounding on my front door for ten [...]

Beer Night, I Mean Date Night

There is absolutely nothing better than an ice cold beer after ten months of involuntary sobriety. Tim and I had our first date night post-Sophia this past Saturday and we chose to get our eat and drink on at Iron Hill Brewery. I first sampled their beer at a beer tasting we attended at the [...]
