Israel Flag Am Yisrael Chai

I never write about politics because I’m just not a very political person. It’s funny because my entire family is quite political except me. I don’t really care about the different parties or their platforms or who walked across the line and then crossed back. That doesn’t really interest me. My family could sit for […]

Toddler Pampering with Kandoo Bubble Bath

Kandoo Bubble Bath Kids

I don’t know about you, but I’m a soak-in-the-bath kind of girl. I’m not the type to throw rose petals in the bath or light candles around me either but I just love a relaxing hot, bubble bath. I find the water soothing and I always enjoy the quiet (well anytime, its quiet is just […]

Don’t tell my daughter she is pretty

I have an Instagram obsession. If you aren’t following me over there yet, I think you should 🙂 One reason why I love Instagram is that you get fabulous snippets into people’s lives.

I can’t begin to tell you how many meals I have missed this year. It’s happened way too many times to count. Usually around 3 pm my tummy starts to grumble and then I realize that I forgot to eat breakfast and lunch and I’m starving! At that time usually both kids are waking up […]
