Yom Hashoah

Tonight marks the start of Yom Hashoah- or Holocaust Remembrance. It’s not just an important day to me because I’m Jewish, but I am the grandchild of Holocaust survivors. My maternal grandparents both lived through the Holocaust and my sister and I carry the responsibility to make sure that the next generations are educated about […]

Another Year Older- Birthday Bucket List

Today is my birthday. I really can’t believe it. I’m another year older and hopefully somewhat a little bit wiser. In honour of my 32 year I’d like to make a list of 32 things that I’d like to accomplish before my 33rd birthday. By putting it in writing I’m hoping that before next years […]

Animal Sounds- a not so Wordless Wednesday

Wordless-ish Wednesday- Princess Peach’s style

Matzah Crunch!

I’m not gonna lie. Passover is my least favourite of the Jewish holidays.
