This weekend my good friend Jen and her son Jake came all the way from Minneapolis to hang out with Ben and I. Not only did they bring laughter and great times into our fair state, they also brought the snow. Wasn’t that nice? I’m pretty sure it was payback from our trip up there last April. [...]

My computer recently decided that I have loaded too many pictures and therefore I am no longer worthy of uploading nary a photo. Just like a good Jewish grandmother it seemed to say to me, “Beckala! Enough with the pit-chas already! Just write to the nice people! OY!” Since posting pictures of the family birthday soiree [...]

As my wise and oh so eloquent son would say, “This birthday totally rocked dude!” I’m a firm believer that one’s birthday should last at least three days. Four through seven is acceptable, but they should be no less than three. And happily, such was the case for this very spoiled Princess. It started on Saturday afternoon when [...]

On the eve of my birthday weekend, I bring to you, once again, some of my favorite things. These are items any girl would love for her birthday. Or Mother’s Day. Or Ground Hogs Day.

Shelly: I loved the interview with Ben by the way. Stay at home? What? That little bundle of energy? Becky: And speaking of energy… all the way to school this morning I told him, “be careful on the sidewalk, it’s really slippery.” So I drop him off and what does he do? RUNS! Down the hill [...]

I feel like the paperboy in “Better Off Dead” who stalks John Cusack for this two dollars. “I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!!!” Except in my case, I’m going after Daylight Savings Time and demanding my hour back. Yeah I’m That Guy. The one who hates Daylight Savings time. I’m the one who complains with every clock I change. And since [...]
