Mommy Greenest Gets Religion

After my brush with pagan paranoia and subsequent realization that when it comes to drinking the clear waters of meditation I am the cloudy cup, my search for a spiritual place to support my family lead…

Lady, Drop the Cheese Puffs and Walk Away: Enter the Insanity Cycle

nospam@example.com ()

OctoMom has 14 kids. I have three. Yet those three—plus the demands of life, work and marriage—may be making me just as crazy. Not insane enough to have another brood of babies, mind you. (Although once you have three, what’s another 11 more?) But crazy enough to:

Six weeks and one day ago (not that anyone’s counting), I became a vegetarian. A pescatarian to be exact, since I could give up the thrice-weekly chicken and occasional In-N-Out, but sushi? C’mon. My…

Happy Organic Birthday To You!

It’s been a month of birthdays for the Sarnoff family. First there was my husband’s 40th surprise party, which ended up with a karaoke performance of “I’ve Had the Time of My Life” complete with lifts. (Yes, tequila was involved.) Then, my daughter turned eight, and we hosted a…
