Jetwetters – A.M. takes on D.C.
Visiting the President: Accidental Mama Style! ~ by Sarah Lolley This is my first installment of our Washington, D.C. trip. I was really struck at how little election paraphernalia there was about. You would have never guessed there was a heated fight going on for the biggest piece of real estate – the White House. I [...]
The Village: Election Issue
Early Education and Child Care: Obama vs. Romney Before my mother became a single mom, I was fortunate to have experienced a stay-at-home mom before the d-word (divorce) sent my mom back to school. Then we moved to be closer to an entire village of relatives that became my extended parents. My granny’s house was [...]
Good-Bye Bar Crawl! Hello Neighbors!
Finding our new home….. The first time I really left good ol’ Kentucky (for good, not just a paternal visit) I was enraptured, transfixed, and spellbound by both the cityscape and the carnival of people in my new neighborhood. Pittsburgh’s South Side was a sanctuary of collegiate bars and stoop-sitting fogies. I instantly fell in [...]

Fashion Week Birthday
My ideas for fun trips seem to work in my head much like many of my past relationships with men remembering only the warm fuzzy parts. Something similar happened last weekend when I decided to spend my birthday attending a few Fashion Week shows in NY with my husband and newborn in tow. It seemed [...]
Passover Papa
It was that time of year again when my dad dresses up like a pharaoh, drinks too much Jew juice, aka Manischewitz a sweet table wine my grandmother drank, and entertains us with biblical politics during Moses’ liberation of the Hebrew slaves of Egypt. “They were all right wing conservatives and the liberal Egyptians [...]
Kooky Holiday Cards
Shocking my family members has been a past time of mine since I was born. My first Christmas as a wife and mom meant my first family holiday card. We are a mix breed family; my husband is an atheist, but comes from an Orthodox family and I am a Catholic Jew that practices both [...]
Halloween Mama
When I was in college my favorite Halloween costume was to dress as a pregnant Catholic school girl using my old AHS uniform stuffed with a pillow. Maybe my karma came to bite me in my butt because a decade later I got pregnant after a Masquerade Ball on Halloween weekend. Two years after that I was [...]
