According to the internet, we all love Top 5 lists. You can find the Top 5 underrated movies to watch, the Top 5 vacation destinations, the Top 5 kitchen gadgets, the Top 5 dogs for apartment living…you name it and somebody has ranked it. I was going to preface my own Top 5 list with…
Make it a MOM-entous day
My hubby makes the same Mother’s Day joke every year. “I’d love to help you repeat the act that made you a mother in the first place.” I tell him we can discuss that any other Sunday. Mother’s Day is mine. My version of the perfect Mother’s Day doesn’t involve fancy dinners, chocolates or extravagant…
Goodbye September…Helloooooo April!
So, as my family loves to tease me about, I’m not much of a music person. When my husband met me, he was “impressed” with my Tito Puente CD collection (which still gets referenced to this day), and being a Long Island girl, I truly believed there was 2 kinds of music…Billy Joel and everything…

Scrufah says…Challenge Accepted!
“I love a challenge.” It’s the rallying cry behind a lot of crappy decisions. Let’s take the morally questionable and sexually philanthropic decade that I like to refer to as “My 20s.” There were certainly more than a few challenges during that time of my life, but most of my friends and I seemed to…
Saving Money and the Earth…One Load at a Time
In my house whenever I say, “I need to do the laundry” my hubby jumps up and down screaming, “I’m the laundry”. Unlike most people I know I like doing the laundry, the one where I actually clean our clothes, and even my husband’s version that messes up my sheets. Ideally I don’t see a…
