It’s so important to capture the milestone of a Bat or Bar Mitzvah…it’s a meaningful moment for a young person and for their families. It’s rich with traditional and memories, and often emotional for parents and grandparents to witness something so special. I myself have shed a few tears at these wonderful ceremonies or parties, […]
My goodness. Another family’s plans for a bat mitzvah was cancelled due to COVID. When will it end?! As Ross on F.R.I.E.N.D.S reminded us, we “piv-ot!” This was not the original plan, but mom sure did her thing, and after all the many months she spent planning were cancelled last minute, she planned a brand […]

The craziness of what we are going through as a country is beyond stressful, and has been taxing emotionally and physically. Family time outside, in the fresh air, and with Mother Earth’s energy flowing from the water, is just […]
