Asher Shaul: 2 Years Old
You have grown up so much this past year. You drank from your first sippy, took your first steps and said your first words. You lost two great-grandmothers, one grandfather and gave comfort to several mourners. You took your first subway ride in NY (and fingers crossed that it was your last one too!). You met your first female first-cousin and found out that you were going to be a big brother....

As I join more “mommy” discussion boards and Facebook pages, I see more and more that even people who went into things hoping for their ideal labor and delivery or their ideal parenting style, aren’t always able to get what they want. Women who wanted a completely natural, vaginal birth (no epidural, no pitocin) have had to agree to allow the doctor to perform a c-section because...

One Small Change - December
As most of you probably do not remember, I did this thing called “One Small Change” last year. I believe I started in January and each month (until Earth Day) I made one small “green” change. Well, I’ve decided to pick that up again, but with a little twist. I’m not just going to make an eco-friendly change each month, but also, what I will refer to as a...
