A Mommy Rant about Lunchboxes

May 12, 2017February 1, 2018 rinameansjoy

Can I rant about something totally meaningless for a moment?  Lunchboxes!  I bought my kids the most adorable animal lunchboxes.  Here, see, aren't they adorable? Presumably, in my mind, if a kid takes his lunch to school in a cute lunch box it will make up for all my other failures as a mother. It will… Continue reading A Mommy Rant about Lunchboxes

Grandma’s House

April 24, 2017 rinameansjoy

I had many happy memories as a child, despite my recent portrayal of fear and chaos and extremism.  So now I'll share some of those, and I want to dedicate it to my Grandmother, Viola, who passed away several years ago, to Papa Bill and his new wife Judy, and to My Mom, who deserves… Continue reading Grandma’s House

Grape Juice Surprise at the Seder

April 13, 2017February 1, 2018 rinameansjoy

So I'm all dolled up in the Longest Sheital Ever (henceforth referred to as LSE), for the second night seder with my kids.  I wrangled them to take a nap, and now the time has come to wake them up from it.  I hear a thud.  One has fallen.  Off my bed, the only place… Continue reading Grape Juice Surprise at the Seder

How I Used to Prep for Pesach

April 4, 2017 rinameansjoy

I used to start two days after Purim.  Everyone needs a breather between holidays, right. I used to clean every mirror in my house, and wash every baseboard. I used to schlep (move) all the decorative things, platters, vases, pitchers out of my dining room and down to the basement. I used to clean out the… Continue reading How I Used to Prep for Pesach

Mothering the Moshiach

March 29, 2017March 30, 2017 rinameansjoy

When we visited Israel last Sukkot (2013), we sat in a sukkah at a beautiful gourmet meal, and as it very regularly happens, the story of our Jewish conversion came up... We told it for the first time in Israel, in Yerushalayim, in the Holy City, and I will never forget our hostess's response. “Wow,… Continue reading Mothering the Moshiach

Being wild! Sometimes it feels unacceptable, but I grew up in redneck South Carolina riding in lawn chairs in the back of pickup trucks and roaming through woods unsupervised and barefoot. There’s such a freedom in it. Then I prayed for wild boys. Why?! Bc the world needs more fearlessness. More good guys to protect and defend and stand up. So even though I am overwhelmed by boy energy basically every day, at my heart I don’t regret that prayer. Love these guys sooo much!!! 💕
Self-talk. Mantras. Positive affirmations. You deserve to be encouraged, and sometimes that means encouraging yourself!! These are such emotionally overwhelming times. We all need extra love and kindness. Listen to your words to yourself today. Aka your thoughts!! Are they filled with love and compassion?) 🤔 💕

I have been off social media for a few days bc it got to be too much... anyone relate? All the emotions, conflicting logics, perspective battles. Too. Much. So I’m at sticking with what I know. Love beats hate. It starts at home, bottom up, not at the government top down. Moms have all the power; let’s not forget it. 😉 💞 Still feeling sad and angry for our country, and still putting up a huge boundary as to what gets into my heart and mind via social media right now. If living in a bubble is wrong, I don’t want to be right. 🤷🏻‍♀️ There’s a time for everything. A time to fight, a time to surrender. A time to speak, a time to shut up. A time to research, a time to rest. I hope we can all learn to listen more and look for where we agree. United we stand. 🇺🇸 #mindset #mentalhealth #racisminamerica #war #peace #choosejoy #whiteprivilege #blacklives #unity #policereform #motherhood #familyfirst #boundaries #listenandlearn
