The Super Jew Would Like to Wish You a Happy Shabbat

Today, Harlow is wearing her big girl undies to school. Why today? Because according to her, she “only wears panties on Shabbat.”

Mornings with Harlow

Because mornings with Harlow are a little bit tough, especially since she still has separation anxiety at preschool drop-off, I created a new morning muffin tradition.

Mike and Mazzy’s Awesome Trip to DC

Since Ilana is really busy with her book lately, this is Mike. I’m going to take over the blog until she releases her book in late September.

Mazzy Tearing Up the Mountain

Last week, we went to Park City, Utah for a family ski trip. This year is the first year Mike, Mazzy and I could ski altogether. It was, in a word— AWESOME.

Homesick for Harlow and Harlow Home Sick

Harlow came down with a stomach bug while Mike, Mazzy and I are away on a family trip. Now we are doing our best to comfort her from over 2000 miles away.

Mommy Shorts in the White House

This past weekend Harlow let know her very firm opinions on the definition of a “play date”. It is not a movie. It is not ice skating. And it is definitely NOT lunch.

Boo Hoos and Woo Hoos with the Super Jews

Last Friday, at Harlow and Mazzy’s request, we had our first Shabbat dinner. Mike cooked roasted chicken, my sister’s family joined us and Harlow was in Jew heaven with five loaves of Challah.

I never do this, but this woman pissed me off, so I wrote about it.

Is Your Husband Afflicted with Male Pattern Blindness?

I know this video depicts a universal experience for most married couples. For Mike and I, it’s the opposite. He’s the “finder” and I’m the one who can’t find the raisins even when they are right in front of my face.

A Night at the American Museum of Natural History
