A cozy little nook for the modern jewish woman
If you know me well, you know that my biggest challenge is my laziness. That being said, I don’t think being born with a particular character trait is an excuse for anything. If there was something I got out of my Bais Yaakov education, it’s this: we’re all born imperfect; and a big part of […]
My son is a miracle. His name is Matisyahu Chaim, which translates to, “Life is a gift from G-d.” Boy ain’t that the truth. From the moment I was pregnant with him, I was so worried something was going to go wrong. Probably because I was already questioning my ability to be a mother before […]
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it can get pretty easy to forget about ourselves. I keep hearing time and time again that self-care is imperative, not just some superfluous activity meant for special occasions. I’ve read and seen countless articles and videos about how the amount of self-care anyone devotes to themselves […]
If you guys recall, as part of my 2018 goals, I want to make a friend. This topic is pretty out of my comfort zone, but then again, so is this entire blog. I don’t want to admit that I want friends. It’s lame. Also, it’s not that I don’t have friends, I do; but […]
After I wrote my last blog post, I received a lot of amazing feedback. I even got some constructive criticism. It’s been an extremely humbling experience “hanging all my dirty laundry out to dry” (as my mother puts it). It’s kind of surreal walking around town and knowing that a good portion of it knows […]
Where to begin? I have so much I want to say about this topic and I have a feeling it’s not all going to fit into one post. But here goes. A lot of my friends know the cute story of how my husband and I met. So forgive me if you’re hearing this for […]
I know I’m a little late to the game and people usually think about these things during New Years, but it’s getting close to my birthday month (June, btw). I don’t know if I’m the only one who does this, but every year on my birthday, I take stock of what I’ve accomplished, how I’ve […]
The title says it all. I envy those who say “I’m broke”. Oh, how wonderful it would feel to just be poor and owe no one a single penny. But alas, that is not the case for me and my unfortunate husband and child. It feels good to place blame on living in today’s day […]
So the other day was a tough one. A day when I felt the weight of the world. Where everything felt like it was hitting me at once. I tend to have these every so often. And, typically, I don’t do the “right” thing. On this particular day, I sat around and moped and let […]
I’m all for a good vent…to close friends. But that negative energy doesn’t do too much good when put out to too many people. So for now I’m just going to look at the facts and try to keep the emotion out of it. I am currently faced with, what I would call, the most […]
