Sheitelsandstrollers Hints and Tips on How to Find the Best Family Car to Transport Your Precious Cargo

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 me and my husband anymore. In fact, my husband is a serious V… Continue

Sheitelsandstrollers 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.

Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without. ~Jodi Picoult, "Perfect Match: A Novel"

Jeannette Katzir A book about Parenting Fairness

Parents are not supposed to have favorites, but in our family of five, Mom and Dad did. I don’t blame them, because it wasn’t their fault. Mom lost her mother when she was 12-1/2. Through a metal fence that wrapped around a Ghetto in Poland, Mom kissed her mother goodbye. The last physical sensation of her mother would be the tug that removed a yellow star sown onto her jacket. Dad also lost his family early in his life. His Mother, Father and most of his siblings died in Auschwitz. How were the… Continue

MDMomma Talking about war

Any ideas for how to discuss the war with your kids? My son is 3, and I know lots of folks would say he's too young, just shield him. But I don't believe that. I think there's got to be an age-appropriate way to explain to him what's going on. (I think it's unrealistic anyway -- with so much family in Ashkelon and the IDF, we talk about it constantly. Last week, he heard his cousin saying he didn't want to go to Savta's for shabbos because he was scared of the katyushas). Continue
