Much anticipated arrival

What a wonderful Shabbat surprise I found this morning! Our Boer goat doe, Maggie, gave birth to beautiful twin girls this morning. They are already nursing like pros. Maggie is a very attentive mother. They look like little puppy dog bunny rabbits! Praise YHVH for his blessing on the flock!

Mount Sinai cake for Shavuot

I saw this idea for a Mount Sinai cake on Pinterest and just had to try my own version. Mine is much more rustic and much less frosting (well, no frosting). We started with a brownie base and stacked banana muffins on top of it. The muffins were baked in tuna fish cans (minus the […]

This question has been popping up all over the internet as people respond to the recent TIME article about attachment parenting. I can’t help but evaluate myself with the same question. So, am I mom enough? Yes. Is it because I breastfeed my babies?  No. Is it because I homeschool my children?  No. Is it […]

Emotions, who needs ’em?

emotions

Kid friendly niddah laws?

Ok, you might have noticed that we made it to the middle of Leviticus. You know, that part that talks about childbirth and leprosy and all that good stuff. Are you going to read it to your kids, or skip it? Well, I would encourage you to tackle it, but before you do, I’ll share […]
