Passover Present

I was reading an article online and it mentioned the haggadah.  I was pretty sure that this was the book used at Passover seders, but wasn't 100% sure, so I googled it.  When I did , a picture came up of New American Haggadah by Jonathan Safran Foer.  What an amazing coincidence, since he is … Continue reading Passover Present

St Patrick’s Day Cards

We spent last weekend making St. Patty's Day cards for all of Olivia's cousins! First we printed out all their names on computer labels in different color greens. Then we got out all of our St. Patrick's Day craft supplies: stickers, green paper, gold ribbon and shamrock stamps. We designed a different card for everyone. … Continue reading St Patrick’s Day Cards

My Organizational Binder

Here is my Organizational Binder for this year.  I loved this binder when I saw it at Staples because it was yellow and green - so I knew it would look great in my kitchen!
