At my last chiro session we did a series of positions and meditations on our true self, and opening our heart to our true selves. This is a concept that isn’t foreign to Judaism. In Judaism we call it Teshuva, and while there’s a time of year (Elul) when it’s most potent and critical, it’s […]
Dear Chaya, Here we are, four months old. I love you so much. SO SO SO much. Your smile is absolutely amazing, and it makes my heart flutter. This month your brothers and sister went back to school and kindy so three days a week it’s just us for a few hours. It’s nice to […]
I think what I want most right now is to be able to spend my days pumping milk, doing Chaya’s exercises, staring into her mystifying eyes, and being enchanted by her beautiful smile. I’ve been thinking a lot about priorities and the content reminder that I am not superwoman, and can’t do it all. Which […]
Dear Chaya, this has been one of the longest months of my life, and this last week especially feels longer than nearly your entire life before this. We finally have some answers about your slow / non existent weight gain, which is great to have a light at the end of the tunnel. But it […]
Dear CC, You love to smile, cuddle and be wrapped up tight. You’re completely different to your siblings in so many ways. Unique. Fourth time around and apparently there’s still plenty for me to learn as a mother, a co-parent, and human being. Hashem is teaching me so much through you, and even when it’s […]
2019 – The year of baby. In Feb (maybe?!) I found out I was pregnant with CC, then we found out we were having another girl, and then in October we got to meet that sweet babe in a calm and powerful home birth! What a delight! I feel like I missed most of the […]
This bread is an absolute favourite for both lunch boxes and gifts. Be careful when you make it, because eating it whilst still warm is highly addictive, and you might not have much left! The method is a little confusing, so if you’re still unsure how to do it then go to my instagram – […]
This is the story of how we gave our daughter Chaya her name. Watch the video below: I sort of say Chaya named herself – I knew I would have a daughter named Chaya one day, and when I saw her heart beat on the ultrasound at 5 weeks pregnant I knew 100% that this […]
Dear Chaya, You are one month old! I’m not exaggerating when I say that you are one of the best things to happen in our family. Your three older siblings absolutely adore you and love you and dote on you. Your daddy and I are totally in love, and thank Hashem every day that you […]
Welcome to the world sweet Chaya Sefira!
