Flying with 16 month old

All I can say is who knew a child could bitch and moan for 6 hours of flying time! Not even crying mostly whining and "mammaing" and looks like why can't I get out of my sit. All of the goldfish in the world would not have helped and then I messed up by adding apple juice to her water cup thinking that would cheer her up but no that just made her give me the nasty face look. The travel aquadoodle and books get her entertained for short bursts of time. I was very glad that our long leg of the flight she was able to sit in her carseat and there were very few people in the back of the plane. The first flight the overfull flight was not so lucky, I was pretty sure the woman in front of me was going to kill my daughter or me. Luckily it was young 20's girl who was sitting next to us so she didn't care and was full into her ipod touch. Anyway so here we are for the exciting adventures of old people in Florida. Talyah was very happy to see Bubbe who also flew down to FL to hang out with us but looked at Great Grandma like she was a stranger. It will be interested tomorrow since most of the people we are visiting she hasn't seen in a year and will definitely not recognize. All in all I gotta say US Air you did good this trip much better then our old trips from Philly to wherever... Thanks!

Less Waste For Earth Day

This year in Salem, the waste disposal people expanded their compost program. I now compost or recycle virtually everything and ultimately end up with like 2 trash bags a week for my household not including diapers. As a part of my year to a better self I am going to try to reduce our food waste. Step 1: Save cereal crumbs at the end of boxes to coat chicken fingers in or to make muffins with. Step 2: Shred and freeze foods to bake with. Step 3: Puree and freeze foods for Kol's baby food. Hopefully these ideas will help us be better to our environment as well as ourselves!

Surreal Delray Beach

There are only a few places in this multicultural country of ours where you will find large populations of stereotypical jews. Delray Beach is one of those. From my grandmother who yelled at the kosher butcher about the size of the chickens to the old jewish couple complaining about the orthodox jews at the movie theater. Walking into Glicks is like one of the most surreal things, with endless options of kosher food, meat, milk, pareve whatever my tastebuds desire. I am sure that life in Delray Beach is comforting to the older generations of Jews, it is what a lot of them grew up with in Boston, New York and New Jersey. It is also what I grew up with, I grew up in a town that was 80% Jewish and I do find it comforting to be around kosher food and grandmothers, but I wouldn't trade it for the life that I have in an area of not so many jews. I think that by being in a small community it makes me feel more Jewish, I meet people who have never met a Jew or just don't know any...

on the right track?

Yesterday we cleaned the house, I love clean houses. Today I went to the gym for the first time since January and it felt good. Tonight I took Kol and Talyah by myself to gymnastics and handled it fine. Bedtime rolled around and even with yelling, kicking, crying, screaming and whining, I got both girls into bed at 8pm. Not that they are asleep yet, but still I count it as success.
