We have spent two of the past three Shabbatot in a neighboring community, one on not much notice – like a few hours. And really, the packing was pretty quick, and coming home and unpacking even easier. Want to know how we did it? Each person’s complete outfit was laid out (down to underwear and …

This week has been busy, with about 40 additional children coming in and out of the house for a few gatherings. And they were all homeschoolers. We went through the knees of 2 pairs of pants (touch/ kind-of-tackle football with kids ranging from 5-12), dozens of cookies (mostly leftover from my Hanuka party cookie bar), …

As I posted about here, I recently was hospitalized and didn’t get to prep anything for Shabbat. Now, we could have had Shabbat meals from whatever we could find or tried to organize things to go buy the whole thing, but it was nice to have my emergency Shabbat meals set aside. We pulled the …

You may have noticed it’s been a quiet few days here on OJH. I do try to post most days. But it has been a few days, and I have a good reason to share with you. I started feeling sick on Wednesday, and spent Thursday from the wee hours of the morning in so …

Six days a week we run around and manage our businesses, families, schools, and life in general. Things can be (OK, often are) crazy. And one day we can relax and rest from those duties. But that rest means planning ahead, something which can be a challenge for everyone! For me, it’s often the last …

Six days we work. Six days we carpool, and cook, and do laundry, and answer telephones, and run around keeping it all together for ourselves and our families. And on Shabbat, time stops. No carpooling, cooking, laundry, telephones, television, no internet. What a blessing! But time “off” like this doesn’t just appear. These blocks of …

Ah, the three day Yom Tov. We get to do it three times in 2011, and that’s not all–this pattern will repeat in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2017! So how do you plan for a three day yom tov? I use a steady, systematic method to plan that make things as easy as possible. …

My goal is to go into Shabbat (or Shabbos!) in a relaxed and peaceful way, but with four small kids, that doesn’t always happen! I give it the best chance possible by doing as much in advance as I can, and of course, by making lists. First, I make a menu–usually on Sunday. This is …
