Yes, it has been quite some time since my words have graced your screens, and yes you read correctly, I am now living in Israel. Well, truthfully I have only lived in Israel for a few hours so you are not missing any of my Middle Eastern adventures. However, a lot has happened since I …

First Days
Once again I find myself apologizing for my absence, and while I do truly miss writing on this blog every day, the major transitions in my life do not allow for this freedom at the moment. Yesterday I started a new job. I have left the world of board games, where I spent a year …
Falling off the wagon and getting back on the horse
Between traveling for work for 10 days and having a fabulous visitor for the weekend my gym routine has been far from normal. Before the big NYC Toy Fair I was going to spin class twice a week, swimming twice a week and doing some strength training. Since I boarded the plane to the east …

The end is here
I made it! We officially packed up the showroom and in a few hours I will be back in San Francisco! The last day started out with big smiles, thinking about the few hours standing between me and the plane ride home. After the last appointment around 2pm we started to tear down the booth. …
Another day done
The longest day of the show happened yesterday. The longest day called for a bright and cheery outfit: It was a long and SLOW day that ended with a lovely dinner and drinks at Pappadeaux Time for one last day complete with break down..
