Welcome to my blog! So glad you found me.
This isn’t just a blog about married life, though that is what the title implies. Really, no one’s life is that one-dimensional, right? Right.
This is a blog about being a mother, a wife, a woman, a musician, a Jew, a friend, a writer.
It’s about a lot of stuff.
It’s about the big stuff (religion, ethics, personal development) and the little stuff (laundry, dishes, meal planning).
Life is kind of full of the big stuff and the little stuff all mixed up together. Life in the laundry. Depth in the dishes. Meaning in the mundanity.
Some fun facts about me:
We’ve moved four times since we got married in December 2007, and currently reside in Baltimore.
I have three kids under the age of four.
I began playing the piano at seven and the clarinet at ten.
I’m a little obsessed with walking.
There was a cornfield immediately next to my high school.
Some of my nicknames were “Spock,” “type triple-A,” and “Eurotrash.” (Hmmm…why do none of those sound flattering?)
I used to frequent open mic nights with my clarinet.
I sold one of my clarinets to help finance a year abroad in Israel.
I used to have three clarinets, which is part of the reason I could sell one.
Oh, also, I’m a religious Jew.
I’m currently running a series on Woman Who Inspire Us, and I would absolutely love to have your input! Contact me, and I will send you the questions!
I also started the Perspectives of Marriage Series to include other people’s experiences with marriage, since every relationship is so different. If you would like to guest post in the series, please contact me.
Thanks for visiting my blog today. I’m glad I found yours and I’ll be back soon! Happy Chanukah!
A pleasure! Thanks for visiting mine! Happy Chanukah!
Nice “meeting” you! Subscribing, so I’m looking forward to seeing more.
I’d also love to be added to your blogroll. Thanks!
The pleasure is mine! I’ve also subscribed to yours, and looking forward to perusing your blog (after I’ve started a bit of Shabbos cooking, that is). I’ll add to to my blogroll just after I finish this comment. Can I be on yours, too? :)
Just found your site and it looks very interesting! I’ll be reading more! What instrument did you play? (I used to play classical piano – now the piano we have at home is a very expensive photo/flower vase stand!!) Please peruse my site and I hope you’ll find it interesting. Shabbat shalom!
A classical pianist – that’s lovely! My primary instrument is clarinet, but I also play sax/flute and piano. I’m going to check out your site. Thanks for visiting and commenting!
Thanks for popping over to my blog from Leora’s! Your blog is wonderful, good to see a blog on marriage from a Torah standpoint. I see that you are a musician…my son(age 13) composes and plays piano. Is there a way to transcribe notes from a video of him playing his compositions?
Also, I’d love to be added to your blogroll!
Thanks! It’s definitely possible to transcribe notes from a video; how fantastic that your son is already composing! I’ve added you to the blogroll. :)
Looks amazing kol hakavode!
Thanks!
Thank you for visiting Shoshi and I at our BTWWTF?!?! blog. I definitely think your life is anything but mundane! My little family too generates a huge mess in an instant. As soon as I clean I turn my back and a hurricane has swept through the household!
Hi! I just stumbled on your blog and I’m so glad I did! Seems that we have a lot in common! Been playing cello since I was 5, and one of my nicknames is also Spock! Oh, and I also have a website that focuses on tichel tying! (It’s my name, .com)
Looking forward to reading more from you! Love your writing!
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone else nicknamed Spock – we are obviously meant to be friends!
