Slice of Life Day 31- Slice Today is the last day of March, the last day of the Slice of Life Challenge.  To my surprise, I have enjoyed this challenge.  Toward the end of the month I struggled to find topics to write about.  I found writing therapeutic. I surprised myself by actually wanting to […]

Slice of Life Day 30- Sick Child Oh no.  Julia came down with a fever last night.  She tossed and turned all night long and didn’t get much sleep.  I’m grateful I can be home with her and take care of her today.  At the moment she’s laying down on the living room rug wrapped […]

Slice of Life Day 29- Staycation This week is my Spring Break but my kids still have school.  Their break is during Passover in 2 ½ weeks.  So, I’m not going anywhere.  Friends at work are mildly shocked.  They know I love to travel and usually go somewhere during every break.  Not this time.  I’m […]

Slice of Life Day 28- My Dad My Dad is amazing.  My Dad is 87 years old and healthy thank goodness.  He is so busy.  He is still working full time as a CPA.  He owns and manages a couple rental properties.  Even during Tax Season, his busiest time of year, he drives my sister […]

Slice of Life Day 27- My Mom I want to thank my Mom for all that she has done for me and still does.  She is always there for me. She calls me everyday. She wakes up before dawn 3 days a week to drive to my house so she can drive the kids to […]

Slice of Life Day 26- It’s Still March in Illinois As I wrote before, I don’t have high expectations for the weather.  But it’s cold.  It is the end of March and it was snowing earlier today.  I know it is Illinois.  I know it is Spring.  It doesn’t have to be hot outside today.  […]

Slice of Life 25- Shabbat Shalom Every Friday night my kids have a Family Shabbat Dinner.  Shabbat begins every Friday night at sundown and lasts 25 hours.  We have a celebratory dinner every week to greet Shabbat.  Every other week it’s at my house with me.  Alternate weeks it’s with their Dad, usually at their […]

Slice of Life Day 24- My Kids Parent Teacher Conferences I attended conferences in the role of Parent.  It’s so different being on the other side of the table.  I hear the teachers talking about my kids making good growth.  Growth, yeah, yeah. That’s good and all. But I want to know if they are […]

Slice of Life Day 23-  Library Yesterday evening I went to the public library by myself.  I had an overdue book to return and had to go in person to the desk to return it.  Usually, I do all my pickups and returns through the drive through which is super convenient.  But when I do […]

Slice of Life Day 22- Fun Traditions Yesterday I was driving to pick up my kids when I heard it was Free Cone Day at Dairy Queen.  What a perfect day for ice cream!  Yesterday’s weather was amazing.  So after gymnastics the Little One and I picked up Big Sister.  Luckily, Dairy Queen was right […]
