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 […]
Tips for keeping your baby and toddler warm this winter
Apparently, we need to brace ourselves for another ‘polar vortex’ winter. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’m dreading dreading the extreme cold. Not only am I a Summer vs. Winter person, but I’m also a stay at home mom with two boys under two. Last winter, I pretty much hibernated in […]
The Joy of Expecting the First Time
Before I started my blog about the craziness that is Parenthood, I was young(er), rounder around my belly, had swollen ankles and I was hormonal. Also known as being pregnant! But I was also on cloud nine, blissful and excited to meet my bundle of joy; my first child. I was recently taken back to […]
How to Get the Most Out of Halloween With Your Little Ones & A Giveaway {Canada}
Last year was our first year trick-or-treating with our sons. If it weren’t for my nieces and nephews who joined us, we probably wouldn’t have gone since our oldest son was only three at the time.

Looking for parenting advice? You need to attend Alyson Schafer’s parenting boot camp!
I can’t remember how I first heard of Alyson Schafer, but as soon as I did, I went out and purchased her books. While I was super eager and ready to get some great parenting advice, I was also a busy mom of a toddler and a newborn with little time to read. Luckily, a […]
Is it co-sleeping or just lazy parenting?
If you were a fly on our bedroom wall at night you’d see our youngest son, a newborn, all 8 pounds of him, lying sprawled out on our king size TV bed from TV Beds Northwest. His arms are outstretched above his head, as if he’s giving himself a cheer. You’d also see that he’s […]

The birth plan that never was…
It was 10:30 PM, my husband was fast asleep in case the baby decided to arrive that night. I grabbed my cell phone and Googled “contraction calculator”. Sure, this was my third pregnancy, but it’s amazing what you remember and what you forget. First of all, in all three of my labours, I always question […]
