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 […]

I’m a guest poster!

Things have been pretty exciting here lately, and not just in my sister’s life. I haven’t had a chance this week to share that I will be guest posting at another homeschool blog next week.

Happy Day

To bring you all up to speed, Ian was born yesterday morning. We were anticipating either dwarfism or downs syndrome. But no one anticipated he would be born with cleft palate and pierre robin (shortened jaw). He is unable to eat as a result. So he was flown by helicopter last night to a big […]

Happy Pesach!

Yes, I know! I’ve been a bit quiet lately. But I wanted to take a minute and wish all of you a blessed Pesach and Feast of Unleavened Bread. I must admit that preparations are largely to blame for my absence. This is the first year that we have hosted Pesach on purpose. (Last year, […]

Team Cooper

I love seeing my family work as a team. In Torah, the most important unit is the family. We must work together effectively as a strong family. So we look for every opportunity to practice. This evening, I needed to bring the flock back in from the front pasture. This can be done alone, but […]

It is a place I didn’t anticipate traveling to, but here we are. With the knowledge we have now, we have decided to move towards gluten free. I love baked goods, so I have been doing a lot of experimenting. The caved in muffins were a huge disappointment, but we are “rising” above it. Here […]
