rise and shine




I'm a morning person.

Love the Sun coming up.

I know most people can't get their eyes open but with me I love the smell of fresh cut grass, birds chirping, sun peaking through the window. Yeah that's the little things that gets me up. For the first few hours before the hustle and bustle of the morning have a few quick moments of quiet in the house of hope and promise of a new day.

I know it sounds quite cliché but try it. wake up a few minutes before the rest of the family and savor in the quiet and calm while watching the sun come up.

try it! you'll love it!

Happy Wednesday!

The Internet Age For The Jewish World




Woke up this morning and it just hit me what a different world we live in!

Lets see, we ran out of milk, eggs, pasta.. lets PRIME IT.... We need more stockings/Tights, lets see where we can get free shipping...want to do a fun family activity, no worries, through this Groupon I found buy 1 get 1! Need a good shiur for some inspiration? There are plenty on demand sites to load up on your computer.

Google, yeshiva world, lakewood scoop, ebay, youtube, facebook, Instagram, amazon, yahoo, aaaahhhhhhh

WOW how insane is that. My mind is spinning about all the options you can do without lifting a finger. Its actually making me nervous. As we get so smart and "fit" with our brains our bodies are lounging and not moving an inch. Are we, as a result, getting weaker physically? Do we have any REAL friends anymore or just our internet buddies that we are so fond of?

Even from just 5 years ago things have changed. At this point you don't need to do much of anything physically. Just have a credit card and POOF everything is at your finger tips! Even when we FINALLY go out to have some human interaction all you see people doing is looking at their phones, taking selfies, and comparing pictures of how it will look online.

I tell myself don't get sucked in but look at me, I am writing this blog!

Listen, I'm not a professional writer.  Just a regular Jewish woman  expressing my everyday thoughts.  Trying to be real and honest!

I don't know what the right answer is and my head goes back and forth.

In the mean time stop what your doing and get outside!  Have an awesome Sunday! Summer is half way gone!

Psssst ...did you forget your phone?????
