December 22, 2015 by UrbanMoms Leave a Comment

Picture this. Your kids counted down the days. They opened each window on their advent calendars, as December ticked by, painstakingly slowly.

My Toddler Is So Excited For Christmas—The Only Trouble Is, We’re Jewish

December 19, 2015 by Sheri Segal Glick Leave a Comment

Last week on the way home from preschool, my two-year-old mentioned how excited she was for Christmas. This would have been adorable, but for the fact that we are Jewish.

The day after Christmas, while we were at the cottage, Oliver's wiggly tooth fell out while he was brushing his teeth, and I remember being glad it didn't fall into the drain, lost forever. He put it under his pillow straight away, and I know he checked on it a few times that day, just to be sure it … [Read more...]
