Every morning, I start by reading my Bible. Right now I am using a few apps on my tablet to give me a daily reading passage. She reads truth is a good one, as well as Daily Bible, which has a widget with a verse right on your home screen. I read that verse, and […]
Secret message to do list
Prep day usually involves a lot of chores and a rather long list of jobs to do. It does at my house. So I’m always trying to invent new ways to keep the chores fun and get everyone involved. On every other day, the kids are required to simply do their chores because they are […]

We recently had a little event that gave ample opportunity to apply Torah principles. One of my children, which asked to remain nameless, broke a drill bit belonging to Doug. She came to me and showed me the broken drill bit, not knowing what to do. She was very sorry, and I saw the opportunity […]

I sometimes struggle to know what to do when I’m reading my Bible. I want to do more than just read it, but I don’t always have the time or inclination to do a full study either. I wanted a system where I could apply some truths, and have an enjoyable, creative experience. I developed […]

I admit that I have been a bit absorbed with making my own planner of late. At first, I made a spiral notebook that I simply wrote everything in. Then I discovered traveler’s notebooks. Determined to make do with what I have, I made my own. I used the cover from an old hardcover book, […]

I’m very protective of my prep days. I’m a one event per day kind of person, and getting ready for Shabbat is my one event for the day. I made a list with 22 items. I crossed off three, and sat down to eat some edible creation that Holly had fixed for me. “Mom, my […]

There are many ways to study the Bible and have a “quiet time.” I’m sure many of you have developed a great routine, but Bible study and prayer is something I have struggled with. When I first embarked on this Torah journey 8 years ago, I felt like I was praying to a different God […]
