The good news is that I’ve been too busy writing articles to blog. I went to my first post-baby writers group and, as always, was inspired by the depth and talent of the women writers around me. They welcomed Avital to her first writer’s group with a cake that said, “Welcome Avital,” in her favorite …

I hate to see that I feel a little bit better knowing that I may not have seen or heard anything even if I had made it downtown today. See my friend David Donadio’s blog. http://americasfuture.org/conventionalfolly/2009/01/20/no-you-cant/ Michael, my colleague and Lani’s boyfriend, is the lifelong Democrat friend. All day I just couldn’t get over how …

Inauguration festivities have begun. This is the first time I barely feel like I live in Washington. If we were still downtown, I would have walked just blocks from my apartment to the Lincoln Memorial for today’s concert. Instead I can watch it on HBO like everyone else. I’m working from home on Tuesday but …

[Click here for my December Home Gardening Column about eating off of your own land. Stay tuned for a PresenTense Magazine article on the same topic.] Avital has a new minhag (custom). She has to have an explosive diaper on holidays in a stranger’s house. It doesn’t matter if it’s her holiday or someone else’s. …

I’m now Tante (Aunt) Tasha! How exciting! No, not Lani…my brother and sister-in-law, Harrison and Michelle. We drove to New Jersey for a shabbos bris. So fun! I love their friends and family. It felt like their wedding in Acapulco where everyone spent the whole weekend together. There were many jokes about being glad they …

Okay, so this is a week late! It’s amazing that it takes me an entire day each week to run the house. I think I’ll have five minutes to write. I have someone helping with the baby and cleaning, and I still can’t manage to post a blog or finish five other personal projects I …

Well, she fooled us again. We tired her out so much in Chicago over Thanksgiving that she slept one night for 6 hours and one night for 7. I thought – perfect! Just in time for me to go back to work this week. The good news is that I know she won’t starve if …

I apologize in advance if I’m a little incoherent…some day soon I’ll sleep more and get my brain cells back… I might be 32 today but I’m not too old for homemade macaroni and cheese and my favorite cake. Good thing my mom is here. She doesn’t have to ship me a cake this year! …

Just when I was starting to feel the isolation of the suburbs… I am feeling so much neighborly love. Still, sometimes it is strange to be here. I can’t believe that when I go back to work it will be my first trip downtown since I started working from home the week before my due …

I’m back! Even as I am enjoying my new role as a mom, I’ve written previously how shocked I am to be a wife and mom in the burbs – and liking it! At the same time, I’m still a feminist. This Cox Communications commercial is making me sick. Has anyone else seen it? This …
