Piecing together ways to save money, protect the environment, and keep kosher.
No one can possibly use every money saving tip each day or each week. There are weeks I have time to cut coupons, look at sale fliers, and read other blogs. But then there are weeks where we have to rely on the tips that save us the most and take the least time. My... Continue Reading →
Last year was our first year of Camp Mommy, where I wasn't working and the kids were therefore home with me. This year we are doing it again, but since we did so much last summer, I was feeling a bit unexcited to go to the same places, So to freshen things up, I have... Continue Reading →

Last year I started preparing for Purim early and really worked hard not to leave everything to the last-minute. I was so happy not to be finishing my boys' costumes right before the sueda! However, this year, with my new job, it has been hard to get started early. Now I am down to one... Continue Reading →
My Kids' Mitzvah Checklist for Rosh Hashanah was such a hit with my children that I thought I would make another for Sukkos. Again, I used Chinuch.org for clip art. They have tons of great art to choose from. I tried to include a variety of mitzvot for kids young and old. Kids' Mitzvah Checklist... Continue Reading →
