Gift cards are great. They are easy to give and seem a little nicer than cash. You can give them from afar instantly! And stores like CVS are giving out gift cards with certain purchases in recent promotions. Just like cash, right? It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Just not to you. The problem: …

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 …

Have you been following the challenges? I have received some e-mails about them from readers, but am always looking for your feedback. Is there some challenge you’d like to read more about?

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 …

In this week’s challenge, we’re working on a family calendar. While that can mean different things to different people, having one calendar where everyone’s commitments and schedules are synchronized helps you out. You can keep track of where everyone is and plan how to get each person to their events. You won’t miss something because …

This week’s challenge is to look at the place where people enter and leave your living space. That could be a separate cathedral style room, just a few feet of hallway, or anything in between. The key words to think of here are function and beautiful. Here’s the entryway at my house (see more photos …

The world is a messy, disorganized place. The human world at least – Hashem’s creation is amazingly complex and perfect. There it is. The “P” word. Perfect. I’m the kind of girl who longs for perfection. In fact, I think that many of us long for perfection. The perfect evening, the perfect spouse, the perfect …

If you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every single time. I strongly believe in having written goals. I find that if I don’t, I let the madness of life take over and I run around putting out fires instead of being productive. I get sucked in to whatever is happening instead of creating the …
