Where is it coming from? “I know which foods are good for me, and I know which are not,” goes the common admission. “Still, sometimes I just can’t stop myself.” When I first started working as the editor at Wellspring Magazine, we placed a heavy emphasis on nutritional education, with a large chunk of the…

It’s during these weeks before Pesach, when we’re working so hard, that these feelings tend to creep up. How do we deal with it? It’s Pesach again! Ah! The Yom Tov of freedom, when we’re meant to feel like kings and queens, the pinnacle of royalty. Freed from the bondage of Mitzrayim, which the sefarim…

It’s harder to stick to routine when there’s so much fun around and kids challenge the boundaries. Instead of yelling – you can create magical bonding moments. Here’s how. “Right we’re nuts, Mommy?” My daughter asked me on one of those nights when I kept shooing the kids into bed too many times to count….

As mothers, the way we interact with our children can mean everything in the way they view life as a Torah Jew.

Often, how they’re acting is exactly as a healthy child should! Were you really disappointed when that ladies’ day out you planned didn’t pan out due to inclement weather? It can’t be you were frustrated that the kids left their shoes right at the doorstep when they came home from school. And did you seriously…

There’s something about a new year, fresh chances, that is inherently inspiring. Like that student in her starched uniform shirt on the very first day of school, we feel a sense of conviction to do it right this time. That’s not to say that we’ve been doing it all wrong, of course, but you know,…

This is my new perspective on dealing with all the bumps that come with motherhood. On a recent Motzaei Shabbos, I experienced an epiphanic moment. I had just finished reciting G-tt fun Avraham, the tefillah where I beseeched the Ribono shel Olam to send us a week of bracha, hatzlacha, and an array of blessings….
