B”H Fine, the Jewish New Year is long gone, and the Gregorian new year doesn’t mean much to me other than, “Pesach is in four months!” Oh and “why in the world can’t I find a new plan book for 2016 that I like!?” (Slightly neurotic!? Yeah, totally!) Still, I thought it would be fun to take a look at the top posts of 2015 according to number of views

Master Bedroom Design

  B”H I’m currently helping a lovely couple with the interior design of their new home. They moved from the North East and were able to buy a house that has a lot of potential. It is their first home and they are ready to be more intentional about design. The process is going to take a while, but as we tackle all the rooms in their home, they’ll start seeing a

Wednesday Wink || Giñada divina

B”H Good Morning everyone! You’ll laugh, but I was meant to publish this last week and apparently, I had not “recovered enough from Chanukah,” because I realized at the end of last Wednesday that I forgot to hit the Publish button! So here goes the original (one week later)…. ¡Buen dia a todas! Se reirán, pero se suponía que publicara esto la semana pasada y aparentemente, no me había “recuperado

A Jewish Gift Guide for Everyone || Guía de regalos (judía) y para todas

by Leave a Comment

  B”H This time of year the whole world seems to be distracted by the allure of gift giving – to oneself or to others. The blogsphere is saturated with gift guides for everyone and anyone you know… (him, her, the fashionista, the design enthusiast, the kids, and so on…) Being bombarded by so many gift guides got me thinking about the gifts that we have and how we relate to them.

Latke Recipe (Latin & Paleo)

by 2 Comments

B”H Happy Hannukah my friends! Who has been up late with Hannukah celebrations for three nights in a row!? Not just me, right? :-) So for those of you who are still into making latkes, I have an exciting latke recipe for you today. Although I do not know anything about diets, (other than I couldn’t keep one even if they paid me) apparently this recipe is congruent with the Paleo diet many

Spruce Up that Hannukah Gelt

by Leave a Comment

B”H One of the beautiful customs of Hannukah is that of giving children Gelt (Money in Yiddish). Gift giving per se is not a Hannukah tradition. Nothing wrong with gift giving in general, of course. However, when it comes to Hannukah, the custom of giving Gelt is diametrically opposed to that of gift giving for the sake of gift giving. We give Gelt because the tzedakah (“charity”) that is to be

My Favorite Jewish Coffee Table Books ||Mis libros de mesa judíos favoritos

by Leave a Comment

B”H When my kids are in the one to two year old stage, I usually clear the coffee table of all accessories, and all the books go up on the bookcases. The table remains pretty bare. (Yes, I’ve had fresh flowers and vases end up on the floor.) I don’t really mind, since it’s pretty temporary, and it’s for a wonderful reason – toddlers exploring around! :-) Eventually kids grow

Pre-Shabbat Mini DIY

by Leave a Comment

B”H I have a thing for flowers. I try to always have some in my home, even if it’s something small. When I was fresh out of college and living in NYC, I would gift myself flowers every Friday on my way back from work (in honor of Shabbat?). I don’t think honoring Shabbat was necessarily my intention, but hey now it is! ;-) And just like before, I get to

  • Michelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear FacerMichelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear Facer

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.
