Below are some notes I’ve taken from a variety of sources about the Hebrew month of Cheshvan that we have just started. At the end of the notes I’ve also written some of my personal goals for this months that align with the energies and principles of Cheshvan. Cheshvan Notes: Nun – letter of Moshiach. […]
This post is just a mass of thoughts. I take no responsibility to do any of the things I talk about, or that they’re the “right” thing to do either! So we’re in Israel at the moment! We got here on Thursday, and today is Wednesday. So far all we’ve really done is get ready […]
I am now officially homeschooling all my kids! It feels quite “right” but also very overwhelming, and a huge responsibility. Some days I feel like I’m doing so much with them, and other days I feel like they might be falling behind. I can tell this is ridiculous, because we’re only a few weeks in. […]

What a sh*t show. Not sure why this year it has been such an intense process. I can’t even remember what last year was like – maybe we skipped some things accidentally?! Used more disposable things maybe… I don’t know, but this year has just been manic. The purpose of this blog post is to […]
