This evening, as we sat down as a family to eat dinner, I tried to engage my three-year-old in conversation about Pesach. Purim was such an anti-climactic experience - Eliana was crying most of the day, she didn’t quite get the concept of reciprocating when it came to Mishloach Manot - I thought it would [...]

OK, so I have been writing this blog now for just under a month, and I am trying not to be too despondent over the fact that barely anyone leaves me comments. In spam terms, I am very popular. I received 30 comments the other day. But sadly that’s as far as it goes. Granted, [...]

I would never have bought the Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffeneger. I had high hopes for this book, and actually bought two copies of it before I even began reading it.
I first purchased the book exactly two years ago. I was in Ben Gurion Airport on my way to London, and overcome by the [...]

Just when we were beginning to say our final goodbyes to winter in Israel, G-d delivered a surprise. It hailed today. Yes, hail. Here’s some pics of our backyard and my husband’s hand. (You can’t beat bumming around working from home - you get to take pics of your garden in the middle of the [...]

In a year and a half from now, I will be turning 30. My in-laws both turned [...]

During the last seven years of my career, I have not only sharpened my skills as an editor, but I (believe that) I have become a more sensitive human being.
I have worked with so many authors of different types and stripes that I have come to the realization that as much as it is my [...]

When Eliana, my three-year-old, returns from gan each day, she is always showing off a new look. Yesterday, she came home with her hair braided, and I was amazed that Eliana let her ganenet (kindergarten teacher) braid her hair, because at home she cannot stand still for two seconds before jumping up and down and remarking on some [...]

If anyone is reading this blog then let me warn you that the following post will be heretical, heathenly, and hopefully, hilarious.
This weekend on shabbat, I was pondering the parashat hashavua and I decided that God has a lot in common with Tony Soprano. This (past) week’s parasha was parashat Ki Tisa. [...]

In my absence (if I don’t meet my deadlines this week, it will be cornflakes and pasta on the menu for a long time to come), my better half will be delighting you with his wit and banter.
For the record, I take no responsibility for his spelling, punctuation, or grammar. (You can’t have everything in life.)
If [...]
