Pits and Peaks

Pit: Passover preparation. If you’re unfamiliar with the details involved, I’ll just say it is a lot of work. The mister was supposed to be home with me after work to help with the big tasks {kashering in the kitchen, cleaning the kitchen and dining room, etc.}, but an emergency call came in at work [...]

Pits and Peaks as of Late

I’m not going to lie, the last month or so has been a challenge for my normal juggling act. Weaving in high holy days {and more to the point actually observing them for the first time} made for poor planning on my part. I had loaded up my blogging calendar not realizing I would be [...]

Pits and Peaks: BlogHer ’11

What We Will Miss (and not)

Today is moving day. Squee! Excitement aside, that means I’m gonna be busy getting my nest back in order in the coming days. I do have the usual suspects scheduled and I’ll do my best to update when I can. Friday, before we fell asleep, I asked Mat what he would and wouldn’t miss about [...]
