Great Expectations

The first night of Hanukkah was beautiful - candles shining bright in the Menorah, delicious potato latkes and Hanukkah jelly doughnuts, saying the blessings and singing together. Family time at its best and just as I had envisioned.

Grateful

For my health. Because mom is right: Health is the most important thing. With ill health, it's very difficult to enjoy life and to focus on anything other than one's ill health. For my husband, who is also my best friend and biggest supporter. I'm still at awe whenever I think of how we met, narrowly escaping never meeting at all. Fate? Perhaps. Luck? For sure. I'm the luckiest woman in the world to share this journey with you.

How Lucky We Are

"I don't want them to pull my tooth out!" complained my daughter, and rightfully so, from her point of view. Me? All I could think was, but you are so lucky. Standing there at the dentist's office, my perspective was completely different than my child's. He was showing me her X-rays on a computer screen, the X-rays that have enabled him to diagnose an issue that people in other parts of the world and in the past would not even know about. And we discussed possible braces in 2012, to make those teeth not just healthy but also beautiful.

Worst Holiday Gifts

MomGrind — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:00:00 +0000

Giving lacy thong underwear to your friend can be fun, but if she will open the gift when her extended family is there, you may want to stick with something a bit more conservative. Same goes for any "sexy" gifts actually. If you really want to give your husband a naughty gift, make sure he opens it when it's just the two of you.

Funny Christmas Ads

In case you were at a loss as to what would make your loved ones happy this holiday season, allow me to make a few suggestions, inspired by fifties-era advertisers who were clearly out of their minds.
