When I chose to became a stay-at-home mom, I gave up a few things; One of them being my sanity! Kidding aside, I did forgo my career (although I’ve somewhat started a new one), interacting with adults regularly (thank goodness for the invention of smart phones to keep in touch with the outside world) and […]
Enjoy a Sweet Kugel this Jewish New Year
The Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashana) starts this Sunday night and for those who are unfamiliar with the religion or the holiday, here is the ‘cole notes’ version. Jewish New Year provides us with a new beggining. A time to make amends but more importantly, prepare for the year ahead. When it comes to the […]
Happy National Coffee Day
I have very vivid memories from my childhood of my parents drinking coffee. They would have a cup in the morning, one at lunch and one more before bed. Yes, that’s right, before bed! I don’t know if it’s an Israeli thing or if it’s because they drank instant coffee. Either way, I didn’t understand […]
Lets end meal-time mom guilt!
Mom guilt… you instantly have it when you become a mom. Or I should say, when your child is born and you become a mom, mom guilt becomes part of your new identity. It’s a crazy phenomenon due to both nurture and nature. We naturally feel guilty but we also receive a lot of pressure from […]
Tips for closing down the cottage
The cool, crisp weather has me bundling up, cooking soup and taking a drive out to the country for the scenery. It also means that the summer is over and it’s time to close up our non-winterized cottage. Each year, we head up to our cottage for the last time over Thanksgiving weekend. In that […]
Teaching Independence to My Sons Through Simple, Every-Day Tasks
On a scale from 1 to 10, I’m like a zero when it comes to being a ‘germaphobe’. As a kid, growing up in Israel, we literately walked barefoot everywhere and pretty much ate off the floor without giving it a second thought. Double dipping? There’s no word for that in Hebrew. Basically, germs is […]
The good, the bad and the ugly of solo parenting
If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you should HERE), then you know that that I solo-parent A LOT! And to clarify, I don’t mean that I’m a single parent. Rather, my husband is often away, and therefore, I parent alone (aka solo-parent). Due to my husband’s job and position, he’s typically […]
Schick Intuition Razor. Seeking Reviewers for a Giveaway!
I don’t know about you but the one thing I despise (yet won’t stop doing) is shaving my legs in the summer. It’s a tedious task and being of middle eastern decent, I have to do it almost every other day to keep up (TMI?). Between the cottage, my brother’s pool, the hot weather and […]
How going back to school is putting a strain on your child’s back!
From a young age, I remember my grandmother always commenting on my posture. “Straighten your back when you walk, sit up straight,” and “don’t hunch over” she said to me on repeat. So much so, that those messages are forever ingrained in my head. While it was “annoying” to hear as a kid, my grandmother […]
What to see and do with kids on the Big Island, Hawaii
This was our family’s sixth visit to Hawaii in as many years. We’ve spent three visits in Maui, which I’ve written about HERE and HERE and another visit in Kaui. While we visited the Big Island before, we only spent four days on the Island, so we didn’t get any time to explore it. This […]
