This is such an easy pumpkin spice cookie recipe, and delicious, too! I made it tonight. It makes a soft, cakier cookie, but not like a muffin. Makes about 30 small cookies. (Recipe can be doubled for a 29oz can of pumpkin). These cookies are very moist, and in a humid environment can get soft, …

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 …

Rosh Hashanah is the start of our year. It’s the beginning of the time of judgment. It’s a spiritual high point! Every year, as I go through the task of physically preparing for the holidays, it seems like spiritual preparations for me fall by the wayside. Yes, there is something spiritual about preparing the house …

…is to have a book for your household! Whatever you call it (control journal, homemaker handbook, shalom bayit book, family manager notebook), this is a crucial book for keeping your household running smoothly. I call this my shalom bayit book (SBB). Shalom bayit is Hebrew for peace in the house – which is what we …

This morning, ds7 and I wrote out his weekly plan (my kids get weekly assignments and then plan out when they’ll do what using this Kid’s weekly planner). He chose to set a heavy workload for himself today since it was raining (he couldn’t go outside) and he wanted to be sure he had enough …

Time to get thinking about Rosh Hashanah more seriously. I have done most of the things on my early prep list. That means clothing and pjs ordered for the kids, seats bought, etc. I still have to buy things for me–that’s one of the hardest things, I think! Now it’s time to menu plan! On …

Chores are important for kids. They are part of the family, and part of being part of a family is help out! But giving the chores to kids doesn’t necessarily mean the adult in charge gets to take the day off and lounge in an easy chair. It actually takes more time to “train” the …

OK, that’s my laminator to all you non-4 year olds out there. I bought one last year, and it was a great investment. I personalize something for myself and then laminate it and two great things happen: 1. It doesn’t get destroyed and 2. I can use dry erase markers on it and erase and …
