I adore Christmas day.  I love me some Christmas Eve. Even though we dont celebrate the holiday Ive always loved the fact everything goes from HURRRRRY!! (as the token Jew Ive worked countless Christmas Eves helping panicked people find that last minute gift) to slower (typically traffic as we all head home from wherever we are) to STOP. Sure we end up hanging with friends who ... Continue Reading
Creating holidays filled with LOVE.
Im L.O.V.I.N.G this time of year. Hanukkah, Christmas, a new year is right around the corner, our move approaches---it all feels fraught with possibility. Draped in a slathering of sappiness. Im over at Attune Foods today talking about healthy holidays & filling your season with L.O.V.E.. It's my final post over there (FORESHADOWING to other fun!stuffs!)Â and I simply could not ...

Can we make it? I *know* we can!
People, I know youre busy. In honor of that Im trying to keep it terse today. Tips. Last minute. For coming down from Hanukkah Hysteria, gearing up for Christmas chaos & prepping for 2013. (Please to add your tip and suggestions in the comments. I could so use me more...) Have low expectations. This may sound negative, but it works. Low expectations (or more ... Continue Reading
National blogging day of remembrance
I was torn about whether or not to post today. Do my thoughts and musings matter? Would my blog be better left "dark" as a sign of solemnity and solidarity? Is there anything really to *add* when words of remembrance have been expressed by those far more articulate than I? And then I went to Sunday School with the Tornado & was given her consecration photo. And in that moment ... Continue Reading
Five Foolproof Ways to Motivate Yourself to Exercise
Does this sound like you? You do your best to fit exercise into your busy schedule. And most of the time, you enjoy it. It takes away your stress. It makes you feel strong. And you know it's good for you. But there's no doubt about it: we all have those days when it sounds better to curl up on the couch and not move for days than to throw on our exercise clothes and work ... Continue Reading
The post I hope my husband doesnt read.
Ive chatted before about how few of my family members read my blog. This is a good thing, People. Regardless Ive chosen to write as if no one is reading (to bastardize the quote about dancing. we all know I cant dance)Â and it's freeing none the less. Today I have a story to share. A tale Ive already told this woman via Skype and which cracks me UP. A story which Im confident wont ... Continue Reading
WORLD HOOP DAY.
It most likely comes as no surprise I love me some hula hoop. It's PLAY. It's childish. It's exercise without the *work* part of working out. You cant hoop incorrectly/wrong if youre laughing and enjoying. I dont talk much about my hoop-LOVE here because Im definitely no role-model/expert o'the hoop. Even after a few years, Im still an awkward hooper (translation: Ive ... Continue Reading
Im on an anti-clutter crusade.
People, Ive kept a secret from you. From the moment I learned of the move I knew I needed to de-clutter before I could even ponder the packing (<---that's no secret. a mere visit to our home made that fact evident). My secret is I've been on my own, personal 30 day de-cluttering challenge crusade since 11.10.12.** My other secret---and the one which prompted me to need to do the ... Continue Reading
The world is a JAW DROPPINGLY wonderful place.
Before I became a mother I really thought the phrase "her jaw dropped in amazement" (or some variation on the theme) was merely something we writers overused. I never believed it was literally an action which transpired when a person was amazed, surprised or delighted. Oh the things I've learned from my child. Have an amazing Saturday. May it contain a moment which makes your ... Continue Reading
