I’ve felt it coming for a little while now. The spark of joy when making my spreads was a little less, the feeling of it being a chore was a little greater. But I didn’t want to acknowledge that. I’ve been doing bullet journaling for more than two years (the first time I wrote about… Continue reading BuJo Update: The End Of An Era
A long time ago, I had a conversation with my friend Alex Fleksher that went something like this: “Hey, wouldn’t it be so much fun to start a podcast together?” “Yeah, for sure!” And then we were both very very busy with other things for a long time until this past Tishrei when we revisited… Continue reading Introducing Normal Frum Women!
If there was ever a year that we are happy to put behind us, 2020 is definitely a contender. But especially in years like this, it’s so worthwhile to look back and see everything that’s happened. We can celebrate our successes, we can learn from our failures, and we can laugh at the many, many… Continue reading 2020 Year-End Review
My husband is a doctor, and in order to become a doctor, a person has to go to a lot of school and study a lot of medical type things. There are tests, so many tests, and there are rotations, and there’s residency (where you work for nearly three days straight but are paid next… Continue reading So You Want To Be A Performer
So, in case you missed it, we’re at home. And so are a whole lot of people here in Cleveland. For the first two days that we were home (and especially after zoom officially started, when our school closed), I found myself falling back into the familiar routine of ping-ponging around my house, taking care… Continue reading How To Cope With Zoom 2.0
I was so ready to leave the ridiculousness of November behind me and move into December, but unsurprisingly, December is starting off even more ridiculously than November. We’re all stuck at home in quarantine (we’re fine, thank G-d). In person school has been cancelled until after Chanukah so we’re back to zoom. Plus over a… Continue reading December BuJo Plus My New To-Do System
Before I begin, I do want to acknowledge the unsubtle plagiarism of the title of this post, but it just encapsulated the feeling perfectly. I woke up yesterday completely on the wrong side of the bed. I could not, as my mother suggested, simply get back in and make sure to get out on the… Continue reading Rivki’s No-Good, Very Bad, Awful Day
I’ve noticed something recently. There are a lot, and I mean, a lot, of selfies on Instagram. I know it’s always been that way, but just lately it’s really stood out to me. And I get it, it’s a photo-based platform and sometimes you want to say something and just don’t have a pic, and… Continue reading To Selfie, Or Not To Selfie
It was sad news to receive, coming out of Shabbos, that Rabbi Sacks had passed away. It is a loss for the world. I was a latecomer to Rabbi Sacks’ – I was only introduced to his Torah a couple years ago, at most. But even though my knowledge of his greatness was relatively shallow,… Continue reading Remembering Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
I sent my boys off to school this morning with their heavy winter coats. The forecasted high is only in the low forties, and while they would happily just wear their hoodies inside and out, I decided to intervene. This may be a minority opinion, but I love when fall comes in. I love getting… Continue reading November Bullet Journal Update
