It’s estimated that nearly half of all Jewish marriages are ones in which one member of the couple is not Jewish. While this raises all sorts of questions about the future survival of the Jewish people, what interested me most is the questions that were more personal in nature. What does a marriage between people …

Sundays and Summer
It’s first thing in the morning, and the birds and I are the only ones up. I like mornings like this, when the whole day is stretching out in front of me, and it appears as though I’ve got all the time in the world to get everything done. So much of the time, lately, …

Serenity Reigns
I’m better. Julie ended up crying herself to sleep (because really, sometimes you just have to let them go. I don’t advocate CIO for infants or babies, or really, for toddler you can actually console, but that girl had reached the point where she was lying on the floor sobbing and yelling for me to …

Writer’s Block
It’s not really writer’s block. It’s more lack of inspiration, or even more likely, lack of time. I’ve had extra kids here a lot this week, and I’ve been reading a lot more too. It just seems as though everything is on hyper overdrive these days, and I’m feeling very pressured and stressed. We’re house …

Five Questions Friday
I’m linking up with Five Question Friday (which is fun, because I like answering questions, but also helpful because I don’t have to come up with a blog topic) from fivecrookedhalos.blogspot.com 1. What is an acceptable age for girls to start dating? I don’t think you should have a separate age for girls, in all …

Parenting Books
I read a lot. I’ve always been a reader, in fact, when I realized that the principal at my son’s preschool was my old life studies teacher from the eighth grade, he remembered me from twenty years ago strictly because I was the one with my nose in a book all the time. So it’s …

Shabbat
It was what sold me on Judaism in the first place. Shabbat represented family harmony, elevating common everyday things to a sacred level. Taking a whole day, an evening and night and the whole next day to just appreciating what you have. Preparing a big dinner, taking a quiet moment to light the candles and …

His victories are so much sweeter
Sam has some anxiety issues. And he’s really stubborn too, so when he starts to get really anxious and panicked about something, he kind of sinks into it, and it’s wicked hard to pull him out. And apparently, I’m kind of a trigger for explosive tears. He can hold it in and appear to be …

More kids?
(Disclaimer – given my basic personality and overwhelming need to analyze, debate and ponder everything, you should probably expect a post on whether or not we’re having more kids every three or four months. And probably, they’ll go back and forth, for and against, usually in the same post) So, I’ve been reading a lot …

Life with a toddler
I set Julianna up with her favorite lunch, pita and hummus, and was bopping around the house, doing whatever it is that I do all day. Suddenly, she starts hollering in from the living room… “MAMA – I dot hummus on my toes!” As I’m wiping hummus off her grubby little feet, I ask, not …
