Last week was a flurry of planning and baking and cooking and fetching and running from here to there. We were blessed this year to be able to sponsor an Iftar dinner in our community. Last year, the first year, we actively participated in the menu planning, the micromanaging, the driving everyone at the Mosque insane…and ended up with not enough food.

If I don’t buy the supplies, it won’t happen so... Read more
Today is the 10th day of Ramadan, and my mind has shifted forward to preparations for the Eid. I would love to be in Egypt with our family there and celebrate together, but we don’t have the green light to travel just yet. I have been looking for Egyptian Style dresses for my daughters online and have come up empty-handed. They have dresses that they love to wear from the last time my Sister in Law was here, but they... Read more
Over the last few days we have been making Panini sandwiches out of whatever meat is cooked in the house, layering it with sautéed onion and red pepper, turkey bacon and havarti cheese. Last night, we killed the batch of cookies that was made on Saturday so we cracked open our brand new cookbook and DD#1 chose the cake we baked. Last month we were blessed to have a long time friend come and visit us during her summer vacation... Read more

Today, I crashed. I was exhausted mentally, emotionally and physically. You are familiar with the crash…it happens right around the week before Christmas? Yeah, that’s what happened today. I woke this morning, grabbed the girls and went to Halaka and the topic today was really something so very pertinent, something I needed to know but didn’t really know that I needed to know. In the midst of these women who I don’t talk to on a regular basis, some of... Read more
