Gratefulness Project: Memorial Day

May 27, 2013

Today, I am grateful for all the men and women who have served their country in order to protect our democratic ideals and rights to self determination. I truly indebted to two nations-worth of vets and servicepeople – the US and Israel. Countless people have fought many wars in order to protect my rights and [...]

Grateful Friday

May 17, 2013

It’s Friday. It’s been quite a week. Lots of eating, drinking and making merry. It shocks me on a daily basis how many dishes we use. I try to cook at least two meals per day, and I’m not a particularly organized and clean chef. Bella likes to have a plate or bowl for each [...]

Gratefulness Project

April 26, 2013

My dear friend Erin gave us an incredible housewarming gift – a robe for each of us (with embroidered initials for the adults and names for the girls) and a photo. The robes are super cozy and amazing. The photo carries an incredible amount of meaning. I asked Erin for permission to share this with [...]

We’ve Been Together How Long???

April 1, 2013

19 years ago today, a high school senior named Zack invited a few friends over to hang out and play darts. I had butterflies in my stomach the whole time because I really really liked this boy. At some point during the night, the song With or Without You came on and he got up [...]

We’ve moved!

March 13, 2013

After many months of picking and choosing and waiting then living with my in-laws, we have finally moved into our new home. Yippeeeeeeee! I have been in a vortex of packing, moving and unpacking for what seems like eternity. It may have seemed like I fell off the face of the planet. That’s approximately how [...]

Regina Brett’s Lessons for Life

February 11, 2013

I have seen this list circulated several times on Facebook lately and did a little digging. A few years back, someone attributed the list to a 90 year old woman, when, in fact, it was written by a columnist who had just turned 50. Although it seems a bit more romantic (I guess) that these [...]

Happy December

December 3, 2012

It’s been over a month since my last post. Thank you to those of you who noticed and emailed me! Things have been a bit hectic around here since Halloween and I just couldn’t muster up the energy to sit and write. My parents came from Israel for a month-long visit because a new little girl [...]

A New Anthem for Parents on Fox News Opinions

October 1, 2012

Good morning, everyone. Yesterday was a very exciting day for me: Fox News published an article I wrote on their Opinion page. “A New Anthem for Parents” is the positive message I hope to give to parents. In the midst of all the negativity aimed at mothers and fathers in the media, I hope to [...]

What I’m Watching This Fall on TV

September 12, 2012

Zack and I are a little teeny tiny bit addicted to television. We love jumping on the couch (or, more often, bed) and gluing ourselves to the boob tube. It’s become more and more difficult to find the time to watch all the shows that we love, but DVR saves us. We ALWAYS fast forward [...]

10 Year Anniversary…Our Secret

August 27, 2012

I’ve been away from technology for a while. I needed a break. I didn’t think it would go this long, but now that I’ve had two whole weeks away from the blog, Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook (except to upload pictures), etc. I’m feeling refreshed. It’s nice to unplug(ish) for a bit. While I was taking my [...]
