Growing up in the South in a not so Jewish community, we definitely stood out. We were a mixed household celebrating both Christian and Jewish holidays and now get to continue on that tradition with our families. With Rosh Hashanah & Yum Kippur right around the corner, we figured there's no better time to talk about what life has a Metha-Jew was like.
We've talked about how important it is to teach our kids about setting goals and meeting them. How that feels when you hit success and the importance of it too. This week, we lived by example. And learn from our own failures and successes.
Speaking up for what's right isn't always easy. And when it comes to your kid, you don't want to be the complaining parent, the controlling parent or the un-interested parent. There's a fine line one must take for that perfect balance. This week we dive into the right way to ask for what you want.
Catch on up on how our holidays went. Santa, vacations, family traditions and NYE. 2022 went out with a BANG and 2023 started with a nap.
It's Hanukkah week! Lots of festivites, sweets and presents all around. But when you're raising your kids in a mixed relgious household, does it get too confusing for them? And should we chose a religion for our kids or let them choose on their own?
Holiday break has officaly begun and the holiday's are right around the corner. Craziness is still happening, I mean DUH! life with kids. But, we're both excited for Hanukkah to this week. We talk about our holiday parties we're throwing, Jessica's ridiciulous baking schedule and some of our favorite Chanukkah memories.
Jessica is a whole year old at the ripe old age of 36. We talk about what it's like to be in her late 30's, how she celebrated and made sure she got the exact gifts she wanted. We also dive into the holiday spirit with Elf on a Shelf and the magic of believing in Santa. It's almost over for one of our kids.
We play catch up after a week of Thanksgiving, family and travel. How much shopping happens for you compared to the family? And, how your kids aruging is actually GOOD for them. Jess, save the soap for a curse word or two.
Happy Thanksgiving to you! We hope you had a delcious day of feasting with family and friends. Tune in to hear how Alicia's handling life these days. A little crazy a little loving and a whole lot of bitching. We are truly Thankful and Grateful for each of you tuning in each week. And hope you have some good laughs as Alicia tries to release some Thanksigivng chaos and nerves.
We always want to make sure our kids are happy, living thier best lives. We, as parents, can influence them so much in life, what they eat, where they go to school, sports, friends, clothes etc. But how much is too much? When should life teach them a lesson and not us as parents. It's hard. We don't want to see our kids get their feelings hurt. We want to make sure they have the best of everything. But what lesson are they learning if we guide them too much?
Halloween is exhausting! Parties, late nights and waaaayyy too much candy. We've recovered enought to finally tell how our weekend went. From Jessica's Beetlejuice bash, Alicia's walk of shame and the 10 lbs of candy from trick-or-treating (yes, we weighed it).
