Julianna wants a baby. A baby girl, specifically, and she’d like it now. She had suggested that we get a baby last week. Because, after all, we don’t have one. And she loves babies. I was mildly amused, and kind of brushed it off. But this afternoon, she really stepped up the intensity on the …

The perks of antisocial children
Not that my kids are anti-social. They aren’t. They just aren’t party people, in a lot of ways. And I’m generalizing – because each one is different, but as a group – big loud parties with lots of strangers are not their cups of tea. Jessie is pretty relaxed, and after four hours or so, …

Interfaith and why it matters to me
According to most definitions, I’m not in an interfaith marriage. I’ve converted to Judaism, and it’s the only religion practiced in our home. We are a religious family, as well as spiritual (and I think there is a difference). We come from different backgrounds, my husband and I. On almost every level, we’re total …

Small Snippets Update
Much, much going on these days, and alas, I’m a crappy blogger. Sometimes it’s really easy to get lost in the chaos, with everyone running around and so much going on all the time… Everyone is still asleep (and by everyone, I mean Marc, Julie, and my aunt Aimee, who’s staying with us for a …

It gets different when they get older
My kids are growing up. Which is obvious, and kind of the whole point of it, but still – I find myself realizing over and over again how DIFFERENT things are now. Case in point – Purim. Judaism has a lot of holidays, and Purim has always been my least favorite. For a whole host …

My Sammy
I was shocked when Sam was born, and confused. We hadn’t found out before he was born, if he was going to be a boy or a girl, but secretly, I was certain he was a she. I had already done this once, and had a girl. Marc had two girls from his first marriage. …

He sleeps in the hole
We play a lot of musical beds in this house. To be fair, we started this system up eleven years ago with Jessie. She had her crib, and started there most nights. But when she’d wake up, I’d just take her back to bed with us, and we’d all sleep thru the night. Julie co-slept …

Parenting Fails
I’m not the parent I thought I’d be. I had big plans, BIG plans before having kids. I was going to be endlessly patient, I wasn’t ever going to yell. I wouldn’t swear under my breath (on a good day). My kids would be HAPPY. They would be well adjusted, content. Polite, confident. …
