How does a stay-at-home-mom answer, "What do you do for a living?"
This past weekend my family attended a New Member’s Reception at our newly joined synagogue.

What I've Learned in 35 Years
Thirty-five years ago today, my Mom and Dad rushed to the hospital to welcome the most adorable little girl (so they say), which was me. Now that I am a mother, I can only imagine the joy, stress, love and challenges my parents have faced the past 35 years. I will tell you they did... Read more »
Are you an over sharer or an under sharer?
It is dark and rainy, the windows are open and the air conditioning is finally turned off after months of over exertion.
