Hannukah Giveaway with Isralove

December 12, 2016 by Yael 6 Comments

Sponsored by IsraLove

B”H

¡Shauva Tov amigas! Today I have a super sweet Hannukah giveaway with the talented Ruth of Isralove. Isralove designs are modern, beautiful and handmade in Israel with love.

If you’re a mother of multiple children, you know how important it is to carve out individual time for each child. I think a good trick to this is to take advantage of the natural rhythms of the household and jump on the opportunities.

There were years when I had one child who woke up much earlier than all the others (5:45/6:00 am), so that was my time with her, while her older brother slept until later in the morning. Now, she was in bed at 6 pm, while he was up until 7:30 pm. So my time with him was in the evenings. And like that, we have many variations of how the natural household rhythms evolve. I try to take advantage and carve out my one on one time around these natural schedules.

This year, it turns out that I have three kids finishing school an hour and a half later than my youngest. So, while up until now he had a sister to play with when they both came home from school, this year, he’s home alone with me.

So, you got it, it’s our time!

Isralove aleph bet placemat

In our family, we have a slight obsession with the Aleph Bet (the Hebrew alphabet). In fact, our playroom, has numerous pieces of art with the Aleph Bet, and in every home we’ve lived, the Aleph Bet has always been incorporated in the art work, the children’s toys, even the children’s bedding! My kids are not too little anymore, but let’s just say, as a teacher once told me in Shanghai’s Jewish pre-school, “The letters of the Aleph Bet are like his little friends!” ;-) Yes, they are!

My youngest, now four, (mhh not so young anymore!) loves his IsraLove aleph beit placemat and can sit for a long time when he comes home from school having his snack and playing with Aleph Beit.

Often he’ll take my Aleph Beit cookie cutters and will play with them, matching them with the letters on his placemat. He also uses the Aleph Beit cookies he eats for snack sometimes, to match with the letters on his placemat! Often while he’s eating he just looks at his placemat and sings along. There are so many playful things my redhead does with Aleph Beit… Sometimes, he tries to make the letters out of lego. And he’s even learning Aleph Beit ‘Yoga’ in pre-school, which he comes home to show me. It’s the cutest thing.

With my youngest, I find all of these “games” work very well. He’s not too interested in coloring sheets or worksheets as some of his siblings were at his age. Which is fine by me. He is only four!

In fact, I love to watch him play. And I love that I still get this one and a half hour of quiet time to be only with him… before the whirlwind hits home at 3:45 and my attention goes elsewhere! ;-) (Btw, I’m lucky that while the homework/dinner chaos is happening in my kitchen, my little one stays in the playroom with his toys and demands very very little attention. Phew!!!)

And before everyone gets home, very often while he he has his snack and/or plays, I’ll have my afternoon tea! How did a girl from the Caribbean end up so British!? My beloved roommate in college… (Margaux, are you reading?) Her British customs rubbed off on me. Ha!

Personalized Mug by Isralove designs

How cute is this mug that Isralove designed especially for me! Is that the cutest gift ever! It says, “Ima since 2006” in Hebrew and then “Mami” (because that’s what my kids call me) “since 2006” on the other side. I love it! Isralove’s handmade modern designs are amazing! I simply love it!

  • 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.

    Yael is a gifted and intuitive writer. So impressed was our staff, that the Jewish Herald-Voice offered her a monthly column, "Defining Jewish Women." We have received only positive feedback and our readers look forward to the third Thursday of every month. In between, I personally follow her blog and gain much insight into myself through her words and emotions.

  • Gila SimchaGila Simcha

    What a treat to hear Yael speak at the Jewish Women's Retreat in San Antonio. Her presentation, "Mi Casa es Su Casa, The Kabbalah of the Home" inspired me to express my Judaism in a way that speaks to my creative side and love of all things chic without compromising my true self and style. I'm so glad I got the chance to hear her message of creativity and Torah. Bravo!

  • Sandy FrydbergSandy Frydberg

    I enjoyed your presentation very much. Your way of presenting material is your strongest asset. You are organized, friendly and approachable, and you speak beautifully, including when you incorporated Jewish teachings in Hebrew. I would be happy to learn from you as you make it fun and interesting.

  • Tina GrossTina Gross

  • Shoshana BonnShoshana Bonn

    I am writing to share how much I enjoyed your presentation on the kabbalah of home at the 55th N'shei Chabad convention in San Antonio, Texas. Your vivacious speaking style, the clarity with which you made your points, and your warmth toward your audience made this one of the best breakout sessions I attended. You offered both depth of Jewish knowledge and perspective on how this applied to people's individual situations. I look forward to my next opportunity to hear you speak.

    Yael y JLP son muy especiales para mi. Fue gracias a JLP que me di la oportunidad de intentar nuevamente preparar Challah para mi familia - desde que JLP publico la Challah que nunca falla en nuestra mesa hay hermosas y deliciosas Challah todos los Shabbat y en las festividades. Soy una foodie así que no me pierdo las recetas que publica y hasta ahora han sido un éxito total, sin contar que me inspira la bellísima presentación de los platos y como presentar una hermosa,  sencilla y a la vez elegante mesa para nuestra familia e invitados.

    In preparation for my wedding, I had the opportunity to learn with Yael. Creativity aside, she is a wealth of knowledge, both passionate and practical, about what she teaches and how she teaches it. I'm also proud to say that through our experience together she has become a great friend and is someone that I can I always talk to.

  • Melinda SilberMelinda Silber
    Yael can be defined as “refreshing inspiration.” She is well-versed in an array of topics from Jewish femininity to design details. Every time I hear her at a speaking engagement or in passing conversation, she always brings an awareness of Jewish femininity to the forefront, constantly reminding women of their spiritual role and importance in ‘everyday’ things. I was thrilled that she passed this concept on, along with her deep knowledge of Judaism, to my daughter during their Bat Mitzvah lessons together. Yael always rises to the occasion (no pun intended) with her eye for design and attention to details. Her subtle palette, creativity and organizational skills are her recipe to success!
  • Vanesa KreindelVanesa Kreindel

    Estoy inmensamente feliz de haber conocido a Yael. En ella no solo encontré una persona con inmenso talento, sino que también encontré una gran amiga que abre su corazón y te contagia su alegría, creatividad y armonía. Me fascina leer su blog - en el siempre encuentro algún nuevo “tip” y también disfruto muchísimo de las clases de mujeres que nos da mensualmente.

  • Anat ChenAnat Chen

    My daughter Stav had her Bat Mitzvah a few months ago.  I wanted Stav to go into her 'Bat Mitzvah' understanding the meaning of the term, and with the knowledge of how to apply it to her life. Even though she learns in a Jewish Orthodox school, I felt that she needed extra learning and inspiration for her coming of age.  Luckily, I knew Yael from before, and heard that she teaches Bat Mitzvah classes.  I had a feeling that this would be a good match... I wasn't wrong :)

    Yael teaches ancient ideas in a modern way.  Stav came back from classes inspired, thinking and asking herself questions.  I'm thankful that my daughter had the opportunity to learn with Yael for her Bat Mitzvah in a interesting, welcoming and inspiring way.

  • Kayla WarrenKayla Warren

    Yael has creativity, vision, and energy, and she uses them all to the fullest for her clients. She came up with the color scheme, all the accessories, the overall “look” of the day, and I just happily and gratefully followed along. But I don’t want you to think it’s only what Yael wants, Yael does. She asked me for input every step of the way. She always checked in with me about what she was buying, what she thought we should have at the party, and she was always conscious of budget. I wanted everything she suggested, but I know that if there had been anything I wasn’t keen to have, she would have changed it until she found something that I loved. She wanted my daughter and me to be happy with everything. We weren’t happy – that’s too meager a word – we were elated!!! Working with Yael was such a pleasant and joyful experience. And those are two words I don’t use lightly when it comes to describing planning an event.

  • Elisheva GolaniElisheva Golani

    Yael helped me style my son's upshernish as well as my living room. She is wonderful to work with! She is talented and extremely organized which is super helpful! She has an incredible eye and knows how to beautify absolutely anything!
