While Easter is new to me, my kids have been brought up with it. My oldest son Kyle is counting down the days till Easter and he can’t wait for the scavenger hunt. Apparently, he’s going to help both of his brothers look for their chocolate eggs. Whether my middle son Ryan will allow that, is […]

Celebrating Eight Hanukkah Nights with Kinder Surprise
Those of you familiar with my crazy holiday adventures know that I celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas or Christmukah as we call it in my home. We feel that it’s the best of both worlds. I’m Jewish and my husband isn’t, so we don’t want our kids to miss out on the fun or to […]
Why I OVER DO Hanukkah
Growing up Jewish in Israel, Hanukkah was a holiday celebrated by all for eight days. Every night, we would light one new candle on the Hanukiah (candelabrum) and afterwards gather around with family and sing Hanukkah songs ( mostly off-beat and off-key with the exception of my mom). On one or two nights during the holiday, a special dinner will […]

Father’s Day Toronto Style
For the past three years, we celebrated father’s day up in cottage country. This year, we stayed in the city. So to make the day extra-special, we took-in the city and I had a few special gifts planned for my husband, such as this mens wallet from VintageLeather. Living in the city, it’s hard to […]
Passover, you really need to step it up.
While we’re raising our children Jewish (I’m Jewish, my husband isn’t), we do sometimes “celebrate” non-Jewish holidays. After-all, one set of grandparents isn’t Jewish and we don’t want to deprive them of what I’m sure was their life-long dream of spoiling their grandkids during the holidays. So this season, the two competing holidays that we’re celebrating are […]
