It’s inevitable. When you’re on Facebook, your newsfeed will be flooded with images of two friends and some trite saying about how true friends are there for you when you need them most. I say the opposite is true. Want to know who your real friends are? Be totally, completely happy and see who sticks around. Let’s say, for example, that you’re goi[...]

For most people, the heart of their home is the kitchen. It’s the place that most people gather, eat, share stories, and above all, bond. In my home, it’s my bedroom. Years ago, when we had a small apartment, our bedroom was the only real place to hang out. But now that we have lots o’ square footage, there are many more places for our kids to hang[...]

As moms, we are blessed with certain innate talents. We can instinctively tell when one of our kids had a bad day at school — even before they come off the bus. We can also miraculously stretch our arms about an extra 3-4 inches to come into contact with the kids sitting (and fighting) in the backseat of the car…while driving, nonetheless. But none of th[...]

Whenever I meet someone new and they ask what I do, I usually get the same response. “Wow! You are so lucky to meet so many celebrities!” One time, someone asked me, “Do you ever wish you had that life?” The truth is…no. Never. Not once. I mean, I have seen some fabulous things as Editor in Chief of Celebrity Parents. I have been in celebrity homes[...]

Recently, someone I know did me dirty. While what she did wasn’t earth-shattering, it was still surprising, passive-aggressive, and most of all, petty. I reflected on why the act was done. After all, I don’t even really know this woman at all—we’re Facebook friends, but as we all know, that means absolutely nothing. I can count the number of inter[...]

    Celebrity Parents Magazine is celebrating its fifth anniversary in a few days. I honestly can’t believe how far my little idea has come. The success of this magazine has far exceeded even what I dreamt it would be. And to think, it almost never happened. You see, when you have an idea —and I mean a Big Idea— almost everyone will[...]

Yesterday I was watching a soccer game between FC Barcelona and Valencia CF. Barcelona is my favorite team of all time; it has some of the best players in the world, the best being (in my opinion), Argentina’s Lionel Messi. As we were watching the game, my hubby said something that stuck with me. He said, “The goal of FC Barcelona is to ensure that Messi[...]

The other night, I was in the supermarket with my daughter, Elizabeth. This is nothing new, as I am ALWAYS in Stop & Shop. I find supermarkets comforting, probably because I worked in one as my first job for years and years. To this date, working in Met Food still ranks as the second favorite job of my career. But I digress. When we were in the[...]

There’s a new love in my life. That’s her photo above. Yes, Dear Readers, I am expecting. As of this writing, I’m 5 ½ months pregnant. We are having a little girl. It is truly one of the most exciting times in my life. I am also on the eve of turning 41-years-old. No one was more shocked about this pregnancy than I was. You see, we had resigned our[...]
