It’s almost time for “Challahween!” We’re getting ready by baking the cutest challah ghosts, broomsticks and pumpkins too! These shapes are just so easy to make with frozen bread dough! These are the perfect little challahs for the fall season, and we show you how to make all three!
I loved creating a very crafty “arty party” birthday for an adorable 8 year old girl. She was imagining witches and broomsticks, and after brainstorming with mom and daughter, I put together two adorable craft stations. This is a very fun theme for a fall party, and you’re invited to take a look!
Celebrate pumpkin season (and Shabbat) with fresh baked pumpkin challah rolls. These cuties are so simple to make with frozen bread dough, and they can also be dressed-up for “challah-ween” with icing, sprinkles and candy eyes. This is a wonderful family activity for fall. So let’s go bake and dress-up pumpkin challah rolls!
We recently baked a “patch” of gourd and pumpkin cookies to celebrate fall! They were so fun and festive, we decided to also use the cookies for pumpkin (and gourd) patch cupcakes! This is a simple (but oh so cute) activity with store bought cupcakes, dried fruit and nuts! It’s also a wonderful activity for littles to help with too. Come visit our pumpkin patch and make some fall cupcakes us!
Over the summer, my dauther Elizabeth and I were taking an early evening walk when it started to drizzle. We saw in front of us, not one, but two rainbows!
Colorful and optimistic, rainbows are all kinds of happy combined together for a few perfect moments. It’s not surprising that so many cultures have their own story about rainbows - from pots of gold (Irish)
I remember having the most important conversations with my daughters about animals when they were very young. We would sit together, and I would say to Stefie, “A cow says, hmmm, let me think…quack quack, a sheep says oink oink,” and Stefie would laugh gleefully at the ridiculousness of me getting my animal sounds mixed up!
We’re just getting ready to start the second Hebrew month of the Jewish calendar – the month of Cheshvan (falling in October or November). This month brings us the well-loved story of Noah and his ark full of animals.
