The children miraculously and unanimously agreed to wear pajamas as their costumes this Purim!
I love to browse, but does anyone really need a dedicated watermelon knife? A flavor injector? A 3-egg microwave cooker?
Shabbos Bowls just might change the way you prepare for Shabbos.
Other people budget for meat or for their favorite bottle of wine, or for a quick vacation. I budget for avocados.
I debated starting the kids with less-than-sharp-knives but there's really no point in doing that. If they are learning a skill, they might as well learn it right.
Thankfully, camp mommy has been going along swimmingly (see what I did there?) until now.
I'm here to sit next to you and help you through this Purim with three almost-too-easy mishloach manot ideas, all made with cost-conscious paper bags.
Try these with your kids; there’s something for every age group and once all the recipes are made, dinner will be ready!
So just in case you're stuck in the house this Chol HaMoed – because there's a new baby or because someone has a cold – not because of anything worse, here are six ideas for family fun at home.

So instead of taking a vacation, plan a staycation.
