I love watching your videos and learning about the jewish religion through someone who practices rather then reading on the internet. I love your attitude about everything its always so positive! I find myself saying "but thats ok" alot now and i thank you for your infectious optimism and positivity!

Ya'aat'eh! Duolingo has a Navajo course! It's still in development, so not everything has voice recordings and there are a couple typos here and there, but the basics are solid! Just be prepared for allllll the accent marks lol.

Oh my goodness Chana what a day you had ! Certainly real life & not surprised you were in tears when you thought you had lost your wrap ! Little Dude certainly came thru for you, what with his "Yummy Mess" comment & find the misplace wrap, our children can be so grounding in bring us back to perspective. Was comforting to see you find a wee bit of time to work on your nature wheel, amidst all the chaos, its so important to carve out a small space for ourselves. By the way just wanted to say how much I like your top in todays video, the sleeves are so pretty & the grey material looks so soft & comfy 😊

Thank you so much Clare 😊❤️ It certainly was a day lol But I was glad to have some time to work on my nature journal for sure :)

Hi Chana! Those potatoes looked so tasty, I swear I could smell them! Nothing like sugar all over the floor, you always think you got it all, and then you hear the crunch when you walk.....As always a pleasure to watch and learn....

Hi Chana, I LOVE Firefly University! It looks like you have much more room (and also you get your study back - YAY!!!). It's great that you can go "shopping" in other rooms and create a whole new look. Question: If you get rid of the sofa Where will Bella nap? I had a great-uncle who fed those birds walnut pieces out of his hand. They're cute!

[@jaroffireflies]

Thank you! Yes, shopping my house is fun :) immediate gratification lol To answer your question, Bella has a bed ready to go where the couch was :)

[@shawndavis824]

The sugar spill is so something I would do. And then spilling more when trying to clean it up-also me! 😂 I am going to make those potatoes this week sometime. We love potatoes and I am always looking for a new way to fix them. I love that your son was so excited to hear that they would be made again. Always a great feeling when trying a new recipe and others like it too. The honest room is looking great. I am hoping to set up a more dedicated space for school next year. We use the dining table and it is fine as long as we don’t have guests for dinner. (We rarely eat meals there if it is just us-we just eat wherever because everyone is on a different schedule.) Have a blessed Shabbat!

[@jaroffireflies]

Hi Shawn! Yes, having the dedicated space for homeschool has been wonderful. Enjoy the potatoes this week! I’m going to be making them again for Chedva this week too 💐

You're a busy woman, no question. Have you ever seen the Jewish Food Society site? There are some amazing looking recipes there, many of them family heirlooms, so to speak. Also, the stories that accompany them are fantastic, as they tell family stories about Jewish heritage. I think you'd enjoy taking a look, and maybe getting some ideas. Shalom!

Thank you! As for kids eating veggies… once my kids grew their own veggies, they ate them :) I also ask them to try a bite, and often the end up enjoying them :) My oldest gets excited about Brussel sprouts even now!

[@KitnFrance]

We do themed nights for dinners every week, it makes life so much more simple. I make the same thing for Shabbat (but I mix up the dessert), because it's reliable and I know how long everything will take and what needs to be done week in and week out. Anything that saves time!

[@jaroffireflies]

We do the same thing all the time for Shabbat also :) I too mix up the dessert and sometimes the sides, but it’s a pretty standard menu

[@lindsaya7733]

Your shirt with the frills is so cute! It is super flattering too! If you are worried about seating for guests, you can always get some smaller armchairs that you could probably squirrel away at the edges or the dining room. Ikea does sell some smaller/lower profile chairs. Then its less of a commitment in space than a couch if you do end up finding you need extra seating. I think it must be helpful that your dining room chairs are so plush and not just wooden. I think the school room is the best idea! Now you have YOUR space again and the kids have a dedicated space too! Win win!

[@jaroffireflies]

Thank you Lindsay! Yes, chairs are part of the plan eventually:) It’s really important to me to have some Connery seating there for us while we learn

Combine strips of roasted poblano peppers with cooked potato chunks and melty Jack cheese in a corn tortilla.

I am so excited. This year, I have decided that one way to get closer to G_d is going to be for me to do a thing like Ya'll do on Fridays. So I went to The Shuk here in Austin and picked up some challah? egg braided bread, this one has Za'taar seasoning on it and some grape juice. My next step is to find some prayers. I might do it on Saturday night, I haven't quite figured out which day will be best for me. I can't wait. I do a new thing or habit every year, like learning an instrument or doing a new food or just something and this is it this year.

When my kids were young, we always had Wacky Weftover Wednesday. It was a thing that I made up, but the kids loved it.

Oh my gosh, I absolutely love that! Thank you for sharing

I liked your comment about reusing furniture and not spending more. Not a matchy-matchy person myself. And using pan liners to help clean up is a marvelous. I don't spend as much time cleaning and more time crocheting. Sugar Incidents happen to everyone. So it's okay. 😁

I loooove that veggie mix from Costco, never though to add barbecue sauce to it!

[@jaroffireflies]

I highly recommend it! It’s a scrumptious addition:)

Comfy reading chairs and maybe a small table for 🍵 tea by the windows?!! This room is brilliant! 👍 So much more space! Love your idea of a table in the backyard too! "A yummy 😋 mess"😂😂😂 Out of the mouths of babes 👌💜 I'm trying your mustard potatoes! Yum! The days are So short 🤯 Oh my gosh!!!

[@jaroffireflies]

I would love a small table and comfy chairs by the window eventually :)

The potatoes are parve, I could see them served with fish also. Your husband better watch out, you're getting some interesting recipes for us.
