I’m pretty sure I hit a new all-time low the other morning when I almost called the police to help me find my “missing” five year old, only to take another look in his bedroom and find him skillfully hiding behind a clump of well-placed bedding.  My phone with the police number already typed onto the dial pad was in my hand.

Imagine how I would have had to explain my incompetence to police officers, some of whom I often see at court, my work, often enough to make me regularly relive…

Exciting I know!  While folding I turned on the TV and quickly found myself being pulled into a talk show. The topic was unconventional marriages.  The host was interviewing a traditional Orthodox Jewish marriage.  First I found it ironic that the topic was unconventional marriages and the couple was in a traditional marriage. My second thought was, when…

I have started organizing my recipes on my blog. A process for sure! I love whole food, simple, seasonal meals. My children, very normal and sometimes very picky children, eat greens and all sorts real foods that I would have never touched as a child.
