Working on next summer’s big road trip (only nine months to go!!), I have become addicted to trip reports. I read trip reports on blogs and forums, in both English and Hebrew, about places we’re about to visit. They’re not just informative, but they also give a unique personal angle on things. Every visit and [...]

A family oriented post today, but everyone is welcome to share. Since I am posting this on a public blog, I guess a few introductory words are required. I am third generation in Israel. My mother’s grandparents are from Tunisia, and my father’s grandparents are from Poland. Their stories vary, at many points, but for [...]

Here it is again, the holiday that can’t be spelled in English! Chanuka, Channuka, Hanuka or Hannuka – I just checked and people are searching Google in all four variations, so I had to use them all in the post Not planning on many other words in this post either – this is mostly pictures. [...]

Sharing some pictures today. First, my boys showing their passion for babies in a recent family get-together. Both Ron and Dan simply adore babies.

“Mommy, I think you have something in your hair.” Just when I thought my kids were the messiest eaters around: Tweet This Post

I don’t know how you do this in the long run. These two and a half weeks with IsraeliDad away on his army duties are enough to show me just how hard it is. And I’m lucky enough to be able to talk to him on the phone daily and we even get the occasional [...]

Reading my title now, it does seem weird But I think I’ll leave it as it is. I just wasn’t sure how else to describe the location. “The South” doesn’t quite cut it, as technically, this is the center of Israel, and a bit to the north of the center, actually. For all practical needs, [...]

It’s not often that I share parenting tips here, but today I’d like to share our recently-discovered method of getting our two active boys, aged 5 and almost-7, to wind down in the evening. Three weeks ago, I was home alone with the boys, their Dad still in the office. I was tired. All I [...]
