IT Boy has never been a big reader. It’s something that has always bugged me, but at the same time, it’s wasn’t something I forced. I offered books at bedtime, but when he said no, I gave up and stopped …

I resolve…
http://confessionsofanitgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/a-mess1-150x150.jpg
I’m really not one for making new year’s resolutions. But sometimes, it just feels right. Like most parents, I spend a lot of time nagging Soccer Girl to clean up her room. And like any 12 year old, she loathes …

All of this and back again…
So, new year, eh? It’s crazy to think about the year that just passed and not think about how it almost feels like I was sleep-walking through much of it. Certainly from September on feels like a long, cold nap …

http://confessionsofanitgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/FL-Postcard-FRONT-1-150x150.jpg
Growing up, our family usually spent the holidays at our relatives on Long Island. We were a blended family, but our cousins on Long Island were as traditionally Jewish as they came. That means they served huge amounts of food, …

I love going to the opera. I know that might be a surprise, but it shouldn’t be. Opera can be dark, dramatic and completely over the top – just the way I like things. My first operas were courtesy of …

The Annual Joy of Holiday Photo Cards
http://confessionsofanitgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/shutterfly.jpg
This year, I’m running a bit behind things. I haven’t traveled that much more than usual, but yet I’ve been more tired and less eager to get things done. While I always think I will finally use up my stash …
Let’s hear it for the DAD!
I’m on the road again. That’s a shock, I know. I’m in LA attending BlogWorld Expo. It’s a great conference and really truly worth my time. But. I had a lot of anxiety about going. First off, it’s a social …
A great Halloween read!
http://confessionsofanitgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/goon-438x200.jpg
Parents, if you’re like me, you’ve probably read the children’s classic “Goodnight Moon” more times than you can count. You can probably get through it, in that soothing sing-song fashion, without even looking at the pages. Heck, your kids can …

I don’t know how I do it either

“Sorry, can’t hear you over the sound of that @#$% GUM CHEWING!!!”
http://confessionsofanitgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/lous-150x150.jpg
All my life, I’ve had an aversion to what I call “mouth sounds”. Chewing gum, sucking your teeth, picking your teeth – doesn’t matter. Hearing those kind of sounds makes me want to go postal. I get really anxious when I see people pull gum …
