I’m very excited to have joined a group of bloggers I admire to participate in the #TogetherWeMother project, a monthly series of blog posts. this month’s topic is “how my relationship with my partner has changed through parenthood.”Continue reading “#TogetherWeMother: My Relationship With My Partner”
I am half Jewish, but never strongly identified with the culture growing up. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s having a daughter of my own, but lately I’ve been feeling the need to get to know my own heritage a little more. so when my mom (children’s book author Gail Karwoski) came out for a visit, it seemed like the perfect time to try making my Aunt Marilyn’s famous “quick & easy”challah bread recipe. and the mess of making of bread in the kitchen was the perfect time to put our new bObsweep bObi pet robotic vacuum, sweeper, & mop combo to the test too!

I figured I would share a few reviews in case you too are struggling, and if you have any suggestions– please please let me know in the comments!
