Feng Shui tips from someone who knows almost 3 things about Feng Shui

    Make sure your bed and your desk face the door. Beware of your enemies–you don’t want your back to the door. If you don’t want to see your children, shut your door. Your Nagle print has bad chi. Please tell her to remove her sunglasses. How rude. Who, who who who who let the Ikea out? I am not feeling any Feng, nor shui. You are very heavy on your IVAR-EXTORP-KARLSTAD. Far far too much LEVSIK getting in the way of your prosperity. Where is the love in this bathroom? You must immediately remove the… Read More »Feng Shui tips from someone who knows almost 3 things about Feng Shui

LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER (LTYM) explores motherhood… Read More »Project Mom Casting: Motherhood deserves more than Eggs Benedict for Mother’s Day

        Crossing Over

          I’m changing. Remember John Edward the “Crossing Over” TV psychic? He can communicate with people on the other side. I’m seeing an A, rhymes with Stan. Did you have a brother or sister figure that crossed over? I’m seeing someone on your same level, to your right–that means sibling or a tea party activist. No? Does your name start with a vowel? UuuOOOhhAhhh– Ann? Yes Ann! But this is a different Ann who no longer exists. I see a woman trailing breast pads in her wake, dropping cookie crumbs on the head of her three-month-sized… Read More »Crossing Over

            Read My First Novel!

              I actually wrote this in 1982 (at age 8), as opposed to all my other kid-voice stuff that strives to sound like it was written in 1982 (at age 8). My Dad and I alternated writing in the book. The Girl Who Had ESP By Ann KrinskyCopyright 1982. Co-author, My Dad.Randall School Publishing Company Chapter OneOne Rainy Day Robin was peering out her window, and she saw something. Not really Outside but in her mind!

              Bedtime with Mussolini

                I believe in simple bed time routines. When Six was an infant I rocked and sang my way through “The Singer’s Musical Theatre Anthology: Haggard Ingénue Edition” every night. Every. Single. Night. I learned from my mistakes. With Three I streamlined the process—two stories, one song, and lights out. But. Somewhere along the way Three inserted a few “talking points.” If you imagine a moment of reflection or prayer, I love your idea. To the contrary, since attending a Chuck E. Cheese Birthday party A YEAR AGO he insists on the following nightly script. Me:… Read More »Bedtime with Mussolini

Yes, I plan to use all five of these chairs, Silly. Otherwise why would I be perched atop them in a full split? If you’ll hold my beverage I can complete the pose, thank you. You call it saltines and ketchup, I call it bruschetta Fancy! Old man? Please don’t fondle the bundt cake. “Evening out”… Read More »Summer Potluck: New Rules

                  Blogging? Or Jewish Summer Camp? You Decide!

                    Are these quotes from bloggers on blogging OR teenagers (the ones who love camp, not the mosquito-bitten miserable variety) on Jewish summer camp? “No one in my real life understands me like you guys” “I’ve been here such a short time, and yet it’s a lifetime” “In my real life I am insecure and hairy, but here people accept me for who I am–insecure and hairy” [Song: You’ve Got A Friend]“You guys accept me for who I am. You are the only ones who know the real me.” “Honestly? Honestly? I don’t know how I’m… Read More »Blogging? Or Jewish Summer Camp? You Decide!
