The pandemic may be behind us and you may or may not have jumped on that homemade sourdough starter / bread train, but I am here to tell you that as a very tired mom of 3 under 6, this recipe is fool-proof, quick, easy, and only takes 4 ingredients (including water and salt!).
Read MoreLast month, I was asked by my Rabbi if I would prepare a Dvar Torah — or sermon — for the first Friday of June, otherwise known as Pride Shabbat. Aside from the extreme honor it was to be asked, it was also a no brainer. If you’ve been following us long enough, you know that we live by the words “visibility matters” — so of course I said yes!
Read MoreI grew up eating sesame peanut noodles and together with my mom, we have perfected the yummiest, creamiest, most satisfying peanut sesame noodles. Some of our secrets? Adding milk and using crunchy peanut butter!
Read MoreThis has become my new go-to whenever someone isn’t feeling well. Think the Greek version of the traditional Jewish matzo ball soup. This is our new penicillin. And it’s so flavorful, easy and quick to make, and healthy to boot!
Read MoreHaving done this three times, I can honestly say that there is very little baby needs and oh so much the world has invented and created and marketed that will make you feel both like you need it all while also feeling completely overwhelmed. Couple my experience with this relatively new found passion I have for Waldorf education and its ideology, and I now have, what I believe, is the ‘real’ baby registry list.
Read MoreThis is a traditional shakshuka recipe — and it has been approved by both my Israeli wife and my Israeli-Iraqi father-in-law. So you know this is going to be good! And — it’s ready within 30 minutes.
Read MoreWe all know how important self-care is, especially as parents. And I feel like often as the primary parent, I will put my me-time on the back burner, usually to be forgotten until my fuse has run out. Well, the good news is, Brit has found a way to not only make sure my mental health and wellbeing are taken care of but has figured out how to present it to me in my love language: gifts!
Read MoreWhen Brit and I first began actively planning for our family, our first hurdle to overcome was figuring out the who, how, and where. Who would be our sperm donor? How would we find him? Where do we look?
Read MoreWe had an amazing opportunity recently to be interviewed by Shira Lazar, host of Let’s Go There on Channel Q & RADIO.COM, about our journey to parenthood. We spoke about how and why we chose the California Cryobank as well as what we were looking for in a sperm donor.
Read MoreWe have compiled a list of all the baby registry must-have items, including a few other good-to-know items, for first-time mommies. From strollers and car seats to baby food brands and our favorite places to shop for clothes, we’ve got you covered!
Read MoreMy pregnancy with Nathan as a whole was completely different than my pregnancy with Thea. And more than in that they are two different babies, thus each pregnancy will be different. I mean in the sense that exactly halfway into my pregnancy, the world shut down. I was officially having a pregnancy and birth in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The word ‘unprecedented’ became a part of everyday jargon – in conversations with friends … in memes both funny and serious … in texts …
Read MoreIn case any of you are interested in what a birth plan can look like, and in particular, what our home birth plan looks like, we are sharing it with y’all as we just finished putting it together, now that our due date is just 3 weeks away.
Read MoreAn experienced photographer, although new to her own business, was looking to expand and diversify her portfolio. She is committed to showing all people and families of all colors, genders, sexual orientations…the works! Pretty awesome, right?
Read MoreAs we near the end of our second pregnancy with Baby Boy, we were gifted with an amazing opportunity from our birth photographer and videographer to document a moment in the life of our family of three before Baby Boy arrives.
Read MoreFor our maternity shoot this second time around, we decided to step up our game and move from a studio shoot to a home shoot. As always, Anna delivered!
Read MoreSo I figured I’d put this post together because this information isn’t really out there and I feel like it should be. Gyu-Kaku is one of my favorite restaurants to go to. First off, Sydney loves to “do the cooking” which is nice on my end. Secondly, as someone who has been tracking her macros (macronutrients: Fats, Carbs, Proteins), I am usually always looking for ways to make sure I hit my protein goal, Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese BBQ restaurant is a great place when protein intake is needed. I also enjoy eating out but it’s common knowledge that eating out can be tricky while dieting. You could get a salad that you think is “healthy” but walk away having eaten an entire day’s worth of calories and then some! At Gyu-Kaku, I know if I pick a lean meat, I should be good.
Read MoreBrit and I are expecting Baby #2. We can’t wait to share our journey with you as we navigate pregnancy with a toddler.
Read MoreWe've officially been parents for a year! Here are some of our thoughts and takeaways. Would love to know if anything resonates with you.
Read MoreA picture is worth 1,000 words — or so they say. I am currently speechless, as the one and only Anna Frenkel of Breezy Ann Photography has done it again. We have used Anna three times now — for our maternity shoot and newborn shoot — and now, again, for Thea’s 1st birthday cake smash.
