  • Almost Instant DIY Artwork

    I don't know about you, but the walls in my house are very very bare. Sometimes it's a nice feeling, and sometimes well, it feels really a bit too bare. My problem is that I just can't bring myself to put holes in the walls to hang something I don't absolutely love. That said I…

  • In My Container Garden

    I am very happy to say that I have many many interests and could never imagine not knowing what to do with some free time if I ever had any. That said, one of my true loves that I highly recommend to everyone is container gardening, or real gardening if you are lucky enough to…

  • Festive Table Decorations For Your Next Party

    Honoring your guests with a festive, joyful table (with minimal expense) is really quite simple if you have some confidence and a little bit of know-how, which I'll be more than happy to share with you. And the added effort is really worth it when you see the smiles on everyone's faces……. For starters you'll…

  • Pickled Turnips

    Ever since coming to Israel and becoming aquainted with the middle-eastern practice of home pickling all kinds of vegetables in large glass jars, I have wanted to do it myself. I dream of having jars and jars of vegetables all lined up neatly on shelves…… Not because I want to eat them really, but I…

  • Paper Bunting Banners To Make With The Kids

    In 2007 I wrote a crafts article for the Family First supplement of Mishpacha magazine in which I showed the readers how to make Noah's Arks from paper plates and fill them with animal silohuettes cut from the abstract animal patterned papers shown here. Recently after drooling over many beautiful images I'd seen in the…

  • Sometimes It’s The Small Things That Count

    On our recent trip to Jerusalem we went into a Judaica store to buy a tehillim for my 7 year old daughter.She is just starting to read tehillim and I wanted to buy her something of her very own to honor this wonderful milestone. Of course anyone with small children can imagine what insued deep…

  • Quick Decorating With Bandanas

    There is nothing that reminds me more of lazy summer days than a good old-fashioned bandana! So when I spotted bandanas on our trip to Jerusalem at just 5 shekels ($1.25) each, I just couldn't resist buying a bunch of them. Bandanas can be used in so many ways and especially to brighten up a…

  • More On Turning Four

    In a previous post I revealed a photo of the teddy bear cake I somehow created by the skin of my teeth,but I have yet to show you a few details from the birthday party we had at home. The actual celebration was on Shabbos, so I don't have too many images on film, but…

  • A Long Awaited Visit to the Kotel

    We moved to Northern Israel from Jerusalem about 2 1/2 years ago, and the 3 youngest in our family had not seen the kotel since then, and certainly had no memories of this Holy place. Our neighbors were making a wedding for their oldest son in Jerusalem, something we couldn't miss, so we used this…
