To: The Somali Pirates From: MothersofBrothers PR Consulting Group Subject: Rebranding Campaign for 2009 On behalf of the MoB, thank you for the opportunity to provide you with totally unsolicited PR advice regarding your image and brand recognition needs going forward. Based upon recent developments, we believe you have an excellent opportunity to put forth a strong [...]
Blogging is a strange experience if for no other reason than people seem to know a lot about you. Or at least they think they do. But truth be told, you can’t really know what is really going on with me or Jennifer because there simply isn’t enough space (or the attention span) to offer [...]
I believe it was my brother-in-law who once told me that every Jewish holiday can be summed up in nine words: They tried to kill us. We won. Let’s eat. Passover, which we are currently on day 5 of 7, is no exception. It is one of my favorite Jewish holidays as it is so [...]
(Continued from Tuesday) When last I left you MoB readers, I was standing outside my bathroom listening to Chase do his best rendition of Let My People Go in the shower.

Did anyone else feel that little change over the weekend? You know, it felt like when you’re on a road trip and you cross into one state from another? And the only reason you know is because you see the sign which reads, “Welcome! You are now entering (Insert State here).” But still, the crazy parents [...]
It all came crashing down. Twice. The night before last, I was putting Chase to bed when Noah appeared. “Mom, my ENTIRE bookcase just fell off the dresser.” I hadn’t heard a thing. So I do what a lot of Moms do in these situations. I asked a series of incredulous questions all at once. “Just [...]
Best. Hotdogs. Ever. It was unanimous. Last night both boys agreed that the hotdogs they serve at the Aston Skate Palace, you know the ones that have been sitting under the heat lamp for hours before being dropped onto a stale bun, are superior to all other wieners. And, BTW, if you are ranking [...]
