Rosh Hashanah Cards Giveaway!!

I love getting cards in the mail.  When I see an envelope addressed to me (and that it’s not a bill or donation request), I get really excited.  In this day and age of quick results and instant gratification, there’s something touching about someone taking the time to pick out a card, write a thoughtful note and send it in the mail.  Even if it’s just a perfunctory thank you card, I still appreciate it.  It’s a simple way to make someone’s day (mine, at least). …See More

Why gating the kitchen is a great idea, or, the day I took my stove apart.

It’s been really hot lately.  So hot that my usual getting-out-of-the-house activities are not an option. Going for a walk? No thank you. Playing in the park? Not unless I want heat stroke. Other (free) indoor activities, such as going to the grocery store or library, haven’t panned out so well, as I haven’t always felt up to the task of managing both kids in a public place, especially after a few choice tantrums (not thrown by me). So we’ve been a little cooped up, and everyone’s been…See More

New Series: Women Who Inspire Us

Have you ever been just wowed by someone you know?  A seemingly ordinary, average woman, who acts in an extraordinary, above-average way?  I’ve been wowed.  Many times. I know women so patient and loving with their kids that I secretly wonder if they’re actually mere mortals.  I know women who are able to make an incredible amount of food for Shabbos, and host an equally…See More

Torah Tuesdays: Who were you in your past life?

Did you know that reincarnation is a Jewish belief? Sure is. It’s mentioned in numerous places in our mystical texts, beginning with the Zohar. I heard somewhere (how’s that for a source . . .) that at this stage in the world’s history, all of our souls are reincarnations of older souls. These (our) reincarnated souls need to “fix” one thing or another in order to move on up to the next stage of being, to get to the World To Come (also known as the World of Souls), which is the state of…See More

Menu Plan, week of July 17th

Shortly after I moved, one of my friends asked me when I was going to make a menu plan again.  “After I finish unpacking,”  was my reply.  However, wandering the aisles of my new grocery store (I love you, Seven Mile!) with considerably less focus than usual was not super pleasant, or productive. Cue heroic music, enter the menu planning. I’m not quite organized enough to plan for the whole month,…See More

Rivki Silver replied to MI Post's discussion 'Does Gender Matter?'
It seems to me that by hiding the gender of the child the parents are acknowledging that it does make a difference (otherwise what would be the point of hiding it?).  I've seen "experiments" like this before, and oftentimes,…

Rivki Silver replied to MI Post's discussion 'Free Range Kids'
While I'm a fan of not being overprotective, there's a difference between benign neglect and irresponsibility.  I'm not sure that the world isn't more dangerous now, or that our children are the safest.  I'm not…

Can I go to the break room now?

When I was in high school I had an after-school job at a local grocery store chain.  Many of my classmates also worked at this chain, and it was a good way to make a little extra money.  State policy dictated that for every three hours worked, an employee must have a ten-minute break.  Our manager was very scrupulous about this law (fine by me). I found that even though ten minutes is a relatively short period of time, it was enough to have a small snack, read a magazine article, or just relax,…See More

Redefining Homemaker

Torah Tuesdays: Thinking Before Speaking

I talk a lot when I’m nervous.  It’s almost involuntary.  While I am able to be quiet, and don’t feel a compulsion to fill every silent space, in certain situations I tend to speak first and think later.Once, while having a conversation with someone who is quiet by nature, I did just that.  She was telling me that she has never been “good with words.”“Yeah, me neither,”  I shared.“I find that hard to believe,” was her response.Ironically, that exchange was a good example of what I meant.  Yes,…See More

Hi Rivki,

Thanks for asking.  Yes that picture was taken in St. Louis.  I am a business owner who markets products that help people feel good, energetic and young. We also market products for mothers who need energy, or are breastfeeding and need support.  So with that said our company had a convention in the summer of 2009 in St. Louis and they took us top rankers to the museum for dinner.  The museum was only opened to us.  They did it in a very beautiful way, the bus dropped us off down by hill by the water. Then with a horse and buggy took us uphill to the museum building.  The view down by the water was simply breathtaking. (that's where I made the picture)

 

Where do you live now Rivki?

 

Keep in touch.
