A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
My mom is a library assistant at an elementary school down in Florida (actually, the same elementary school my siblings and I all attended!), and she's always sending me recommendations for new books and new series. I absolutely adore YA literature, among other genres, and I always find her recommendations to be well worth reading. I know I'll be hitting her up when Matt and I decide to have … [Read more...]
One of the greatest perks of living in a coexisting home are all the holidays you get to celebrate! I know that I've experienced more Jewish holidays since Matt and I have been together (has it really been 6.5 years...?) than I ever thought I would, and because of my background and current spirituality, I get to see how the old melds with the new.

These crafts, unless otherwise indicated, are great for kids, too, so be sure to get … [Read more...]

Matt and I argued about food yesterday, from our different diets (which isn't typically a problem but holy crap yesterday) to how to raise healthy kids with healthy diets, and pretty much everything in between. Of course, we started when we got to bed at 10pm, and probably passed out (finally!) around … [Read more...]

Now that it's bright, sunny, and cheerful out, let's make some crafts to celebrate the thawing of our creative juices... let's get 'em flowing!Many of these crafts involve items that can be found outdoors, from flowers to sticks to the images of animals.
