When niddah comes to call part 2
I’m lying in a strange bed watching a romantic movie by myself crying my eyes out. Yes, niddah has come to call again. I want to feel my husband’s embrace. I want to sleep in the same bed. But I must choose. Will I choose to fulfill my physical desires? Or will I choose to […]
When niddah comes to call
When my husband and I were engaged, we did not touch and we were never alone. The slightest brush, a tap of the foot under the table, were cherished and remembered with delight. In the absence of physical contact, we learned to communicate. We became the best of […]
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.

I just put 5 more trash bags in Doug’s truck, all full of clothes to donate. We went through the boy’s room this morning. Right after breakfast, I began by pulling all the clothes out into the living room. We sorted it into piles and then Isaac began helping me go through his clothes. He […]
Torah home management – decluttering
I live in the year 2012. I have 1700 sq ft in the main part of my home. I have a basement and a garage. I have outbuildings. I have succeeded in filling them up with stuff. It’s my fault. I didn’t throw away the pens that didn’t work. They didn’t seem like trash. I […]
In this moment…
I’ve made myself a cup of tea as I wait for the woodstove to get burning good again. I don’t want the house to get cold during the night. Next to me Sadie is finally sleeping. She came down with the flu today. At first I thought she was just being shy because we had […]
