Photo Playtime for Ima

Have you ever played with Picnik?

It's really fun.

All sorts of cool effects.

Don't these look neat???

It's the 3rd day of NaBloPoMo and I'm still going strong. Guess I shouldn't rest on my laurels, huh?

{{{Giggles}}}

Mabel's Labels has created new Invisble Sticky Labels - so cool! Go and see...

And while you're at it, check out You Tube today...

and see this new feature of Gmail.

and Amy's getting a cow! I'm so jealous.

In other news, today is the English date anniversary of my Bat Mitzvah...

Shall....

Quickly, before Shabbat!

This week's Torah portion, Re'eh, encapsulated in a Wordle:




Shabbat Shalom!

Aren't you Excited!?

I am so excited for these things:

** I am published in this month's special "Family" issue of Real Simple Magazine. I answered the question... "Moms: What's the One Thing You Can't Live Without?"


(Thanks, Dad, for the cool scan.)
Anyone who knows me knows how true this is.

** Tomorrow is the First International Jewish Blogger Convention and I'm going!!!!

Okay, maybe going is not quite accurate. I'm logging onto the webcast. Either way, I'm pretty excited for the event. I know there's been a lot of controversy and nastiness about the convention, but frankly, I'm just going with girlish giddiness at anything bloggy.

(And my two cents -- everyone and anyone was invited. You just have to register, have a blog, and be Jewish. How much more open can it get!?)

** I haven't posted it yet but here is the link to this week's Haveil Havalim, excellently done by The Rebbetzin's Husband.

Plus, the month of August is almost over and while things are going to continue to be busy, I'm hoping to get back to posting more regularly soon. Yay!

What are you excited for?

when you don't feel like writing a post...

You Are Bare Feet

You are a true free spirit, and you can't be tied down. Even wearing shoes can be a little too constraining for you at times! You are very comfortable in your own skin. You are one of the most real people around. You don't have anything to hide. Open and accepting, you are willing to discuss or entertain almost any topic. You are a very tolerant person. You are accepting and not judgmental. You should live: Somewhere warm You should work: At your own business, where you can set the rules

What Kind of Shoe Are You?

As I did the quiz, I was, of course, in bare feet. We have a shoes-off policy in our house, partly because of our pretty new carpet, mainly because I think it's healthier not to bring all that outside dirt into the house, but also because I'd much rather be barefoot! How do you think the computer knew that?

haiku travel feature week!

Three tired children
Worn out mom and dad also
Travelling is fun!

Finding our way 'round
Thank goodness for google maps
A compass would help!

We want to have fun
Tomorrow we'll swim and play
Maybe mini golf!
