I don’t like my eyebrows (and other insecurities)
I took a selfie today, and the first thing I noticed was my eyebrows. And not in any way that involves the words “on fleek.”

Give Yourself the Credit You’re Due
I got this Facebook message a while back: “Now that I have three [kids] I have no idea how you look put together, write blog posts, practice music, buy groceries, eat, sleep, drink, etc. Any tips?” What a nice message to receive! My ego got a sorely needed boost. What’s that, you say? Well, most of the… Continue reading Give Yourself the Credit You’re Due

The ebb and flow of life
I don’t always notice the cycles that come around in life. Okay, I notice the weekly cycles of cleaning up from Shabbos, figuring out what to eat for the week, shopping, cleaning, preparing for Shabbos and, of course, Shabbos! I also notice the daily cycles of getting Little Man ready for school, putting the baby… Continue reading The ebb and flow of life
