Am I mom enough?
This question has been popping up all over the internet as people respond to the recent TIME article about attachment parenting. I can’t help but evaluate myself with the same question. So, am I mom enough? Yes. Is it because I breastfeed my babies? No. Is it because I homeschool my children? No. Is it […]
What about tzitziyot?
I was recently asked about tzitziyot by a reader. What do they mean? Should women wear them? These are excellent questions, but before I answer them, I’d like to give a brief explanation of where I’m coming from. We have been on this Torah keeping, Hebrew roots journey for 5 1/2 years. In that time, […]
What’s in a name?
In Hebrew thought, a name is the the breath and very essence of a person. It describes his character. I have found this to be true in my own family, as I watch each of my children grow into their names and prove them true. In the Bible, I see the same things happening. Knowing […]
Emotions, who needs ’em?
As much as I would sometimes like them to disappear entirely, emotions are a very real part of our lives. We feel angry, sad, elated, silly, anxious, relieved, the list goes on. Why do we have emotions? Why do we feel guilty for having them? What does Torah say? I was raised in a Baptist […]

I’m super excited to be sharing about science at www.classichousewife.com next Wednesday. Amber is taking part in the two week […]
Happy Day
To bring you all up to speed, Ian was born yesterday morning. We were anticipating either dwarfism or downs syndrome. But no one anticipated he would be born with cleft palate and pierre robin (shortened jaw). He is unable to eat as a result. So he was flown by helicopter last night to a big […]
Happy Pesach!
Yes, I know! I’ve been a bit quiet lately. But I wanted to take a minute and wish all of you a blessed Pesach and Feast of Unleavened Bread. I must admit that preparations are largely to blame for my absence. This is the first year that we have hosted Pesach on purpose. (Last year, […]
Team Cooper
I love seeing my family work as a team. In Torah, the most important unit is the family. We must work together effectively as a strong family. So we look for every opportunity to practice. This evening, I needed to bring the flock back in from the front pasture. This can be done alone, but […]
Gluten free chocolate cake
It is a place I didn’t anticipate traveling to, but here we are. With the knowledge we have now, we have decided to move towards gluten free. I love baked goods, so I have been doing a lot of experimenting. The caved in muffins were a huge disappointment, but we are “rising” above it. Here […]
