Growing up, every Sunday morning my father would put on Classical Music as he prepared our weekly "bagel bash" as a family. Smells of fresh coffee, fresh sliced red onion, and scrambled eggs would awaken my appetitie while the melodies of Bach, ...
When my mother asked me to look for a way that my kosher foodie family and my non-kosher foodie family could spend Thanksgiving together, I immediately suggested we get together on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. We have been down this road bef...
I've discovered that what I want now in a car today is drastically different from what I wanted in a car pre-mommy. After I became a mom for the first time at 37 years young (I am a 20 year old trapped in a 41 year old body), it wasn't just about...
Parenting doesn't come with a manuel, so why not learn tricks from Moms who have been down that road before. Let's catch those cuties doing good instead of punishing the bad!
Auditions For Kids 4-8 Starts June 1!
Long before there was a Dakota Fanning and a Zac Efron there was a Shirley Temple. These unknown stars had to travel near and far just to get their one big break. Well, things have defintely changed for kids ...

You know you love to! Here's a special group for anyone who feels like kvetching!
Share ideas to make Shabbos special 52 times a year! Troubleshoot ways to fit a break into an already hectic, overextended schedule.
I grew up in a very safe and secure suburb in the Midwest. My home was as normal as one can be; we had dinner together and watched the annual airing of movies like The Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music. My mom hosted extended family during Pass...
Profile Information
- What kinds of things do you want to talk about?
- I am a mommy blogger with profile overlap. Primetimeparenting is for the late marriage, 40+, been there, done that, now I want the baby, crowd. Our husbands work hard, and we work even harder at home rasing our 3 children, 3 and under. My other profile, sheitelsandstrollers is targeted towards the Jewish orthodox mom crowd with babies, 4 and under. We make Shabbos every week, host meals for friends and neighbors, and some crazy cleaning for Passover (only 6 weeks away, yikes). We want to eat organic kosher food, but not go for broke while doing it. Some of our families are FFB (Frum From Birth) some of our families are secular and we're the only ones to take on being kosher, keeping shabbat, and tahara mishpacha (laws of family purity) which is an entire blog on it's own. It's time to connect with other BTs and FFBs and share our failures and successes.
- About Me:
- In 2001, I went to Israel wearing pants, and in 2002 I came back from Israel wearing skirts and observing Shabbos and Kashrut. I moved to New York to meet my beshert, and 16 months later he showed up at my door. 6 months later we were married under a Chuppah and a mechitza for separate dancing. B'H, I am the ima to three precious neshamalas, but with my family far away, it is necessary to cultivate relationships with friends and family near me. Otherwise, the holidays would be very lonely.

In fact, my husband is a serious V… Continue

Kosherfest Chesed Goes Beyond As They Donate 15,000 Lbs. of Food to Jewish Poor
This is a story that I read in a newsletter from KosherToday, http://www.koshertoday.com/news.asp#story108. I attended Kosherfest both Tuesday and Wednesday last week at the amount of food at the Meadowlands Expo Center was tremendous. After the show, the first place the food was headed was not in the garbage, but to feed the Jewish Poor. Here is more on this story of Chesed.
