Fragmented Fridays
I share bits and pieces of myself with you here and what I get back is so much more. For my odds and ends, you give me a sense of wholeness, a sense of belonging, of being accepted. Every time, I share something that feels a little too personal, you come back with assurances, support, […]
Are you there God? It’s Me, Mami.
Do you believe in God? I’m not religious. By that I mean, I do not belong to any sort of organized religion. I was raised Catholic. I do not consider myself a Catholic anymore. I do not attend religious services unless I’m invited to a wedding or Bat Mitzvah. When I speak of a higher […]
Unknown Mami Gone Viral?
I’m vlogging! When I was in Miami, Carrie, one of the lovely writers of Tiki Tiki asked me to tell a story about my mother on camera. Perhaps, it was the heat or giddy atmosphere, but she didn’t have to twist my arm for very long. Today, she has posted the video and I would […]

What would you do with $60?
If you had an extra $60 burning a whole in your pocket what would you do with it? Pay bills? Boo! What if there were conditions? One of the conditions is that you spend the money shopping. Would you put the money toward the purchase of a vanity? Wait there would be one more condition! […]
Me Time for Moms Is a Must
One of the most difficult adjustments for me since becoming a mother is the lack of “me” time. I have always loved to spend time alone. Some people don’t get it, they always love to be in the company of others and while I enjoy being around those I love, I enjoy being with me, […]
Civic Irresponsibility: Cramming for the Elections
I have not been in school for over a decade, so why did I spend my evening cramming? Because there is an election today and I forgot about it until the very last minute. It’s not that I don’t care, I do- I care very much. It’s just that the information came, I let it […]
