Postpartum Cook With Me For Shabbat

[@yaarashachar8098]

Your perspective is so realistic, true, and calming. Being with a newborn is challenging and requires a lot of self compassion. The pace of everything changes. The baby comes first.

[@SonyasPrep]

So true!

I'm not Jewish, but I enjoy you and videos so much! You are such a role model for everyone! ❤

[@Raşel-1923]

Same here. Her channel helps me a lot to learn Judaism.

[@SonyasPrep]

Awww that means a lot thank you

[@janetmonaghan5419]

Me too, what a lovely mother and family, praying for Israel every day, from Perth, w.aust.xx

[@twentysixlinx327]

Gute Shabbes

[@HazelHammond1505]

I'm not Jewish. But I love your videos. I have learned so much about your faith that I didn't know. I still don't understand why some people don't like Jewish people. Even having a new born ( Thank you for letting us have a peak at your newborn) You still have a calming effect. Your right Newborn's come first. well all young children come first. and as a Mom you learn to work around there needs to get things done. I'm happy you feel up to getting back into the kitchen. What a awesome Mom you have to have brought Shabbat to you. Thank you for sharing. I always look forward to your videos. BUT you take your time and go at your pace .Don't be in a hurry we will be here.

[@SonyasPrep]

Thank you for your encouraging and sweet comment

[@sandraackerman5643]

I don't understand it either my people are full of hate torch Jewish and Muslims I'll never understand it

[@christineadlekhadivi7364]

Dearest child of God, I pray with all my heart that the Lord will always keep you, your family, and your beautiful precious newborn happy, healthy, and safe. I felt sadness in your voice tonight. Postpartum is never easy. Be patient and remember to also take care of yourself. May God bless you, protect you, and fill you with endless joy and strength. Love, Christine.

[@kbchiwuta2280]

I love your Shabbat prep videos as they are so soothing. I appreciate the effort you put in for these videos and understand the feeling of accomplishment when you've finished your prep with a newborn baby and older children. Well done, you're doing a great job ❤

[@SonyasPrep]

Glad you like them!

[@gaylehill6165]

You gave excellent advice to mom’s in this busy stage of life! Our children are a precious gift, and they grow so quickly. Savor the “interruptions “ because you will certainly miss them one day!

[@SonyasPrep]

Yes 🥰 as hard as it is

[@wendyhannaford7696]

Oh yes, hot chocolate, hot Tea, Hot Coffee, Hot apple cider! You are so amazing!! I dont know how you do it, you are such a hard worker, and you take such good care of your Baby, your Children, your Home, and cook marvelous Beautiful Meals for your Family, and we are so thankful you include us, a peek at what you do!! Happy for you that your parents have been coming and helping you a little bit ❤

[@connienovak1011]

Beautiful baby! Yes, this season of life goes by so quickly, so enjoy every moment. Soups, stews and quick fish are great ideas, since you never know when you'll get a happy interruption. Easy to stop and start those as needed to care for the baby. Great job! Take care, and we'll see you when you have time.

[@SonyasPrep]

Thank you for the ideas

[@Anz-tl3vp]

Hallelujah Jesus is Lord

[@odilegabayengel4192]

So much cuteness with this tiny baby in the kitchen ! Shabbat Shalom and enjoy your family !That is the most precious gift we have

[@sherryarmstrong4683]

He's so good! It looked like you were holding a doll. You are truly blessed.

[@SonyasPrep]

🙌🙌🙌

[@devorahanatolia8999]

Your little one is a real cutie. My Italian mother and my nona taught me to add water to the meatball mixture. You're right, it makes the meatballs fluffy and moist.

[@SonyasPrep]

Yes!

[@carolannbuttling5884]

I'm not Jewish but growing up in NY I was exposed to your beautiful culture and FOOD LOL,many Jewish friends where I was honored to join in many shabbat dinners,love your videos mazel tov to your beautiful baby

[@lyndaalterio1027]

We have missed you, dear Sonya, but understandably you need to take care of your new baby and yourself and get your strength back! We love you and will always be here waiting for you! Lots of love and huge hugs to you and your beautiful family - May God Bless you all!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@lyndaalterio1027]

Awwwww - the baby is so adorable, Sonja! Enjoy him - you know how fast they grow up and time flies!! Beautiful baby boy!!! ☺☺☺☺☺

[@Doobiepuu]

[@SonyasPrep]

Woohoo 🎉

[@shawndavis824]

What a precious baby boy! Enjoy every second because the time goes by so quickly. Time is a thief. In a blink your little one’s are grown with families of their own. Everything looked so yummy.

[@trishabaran1521]

Sonya, So nice to see you back in kitchen and doing what you like best. (Cooking for family) When I seen that sweet little hand go up to touch your face ( priceless) Sending you & family much love 💕 & blessings.

[@SonyasPrep]

So happy that I captures these moments to look back on

[@ANTIBACTERIAL20]

I really admire you😊... I a working mother of four i think, you manage a home, you cook so many things, and you keep calm? I hope you find some good time for your self too!

[@louiseblondin2824]

Coffee in the morning and an occassional hot chocolate during the day. I drink alot of water during the day to keep hydrated. Beautiful baby ❤

[@SonyasPrep]

Thank you

[@oldnan6137]

So glad that you and the baby are doing well! Thank you for sharing a really look at what life is for a mom with a new baby, other children, a husband and a career! Truth is beautiful and it allows others to know they are not alone. All the blessings that I can send. ❤

[@MimCotton]

Dear Sonya - what a difficult time you have had although you make light of it. Please take care of yourself. With six children to look after it's a wonder you have time to make these videos at all. I'm not Jewish (though some of my ancestors on my mother's side were) but I love your channel. I am also one of nine children and my mother said once the youngest is school age, it does become more manageable. And though we do not share the same view of the situation in Palestine/Israel I see the comfort and security your faith gives you and the life you have built around it. It is admirable - there is so much love in it. Peace and justice to all.

[@djvan1695]

Oh, how I miss the days when my babies were born! I think every mom says this, but it is true. Those days fly by so quickly, and before you realize it, they are all married and you shift gears to being a grandparent, which is also lovely. I so admire you, Sonya for being the closest woman that Proverbs describes as the ideal wife and Mother! May God bless you and your beautiful family!

[@SonyasPrep]

Thank you

[@MeS-xn2nf]

Everything looked so delicious Sonya.

[@888KingsDaughter]

Welcome back Sonja you look AMAZING 2 months post partum The tears when you said I am enjoying the newborn phase one day I will miss it. I have a 4 year old .14 year old and a 16 year old. I miss when my kids when younger both started high school. It goes by fast. Im enjoying my 4 year old..

[@bethepstein8725]

Hi Sonia, I watch your videos. You are an amazing mother and how you do everything in such a calm manner is amazing to me.

[@adrianavallsroig8951]

I find always so much peace in your videos. Your voice is just the best!🫶🙏

[@TeresaE116]

Sonya ( @SonyasPrep) I would love to have a Shabbat meal with you and your wonderful family! This was so relaxing and refreshing watching you prepare the food with such care and love! Your Baby is adorable 🥰 and, you’re so right - this time goes by so fast!

[@violetmtali4269]

❤ your channel. Continue being an AMAZING wife and mom. You are so GIFTED! I'm gifted in music and art so when I see people gifted with food i'm like WOW!! I am working on my skills. Women like you inspire me to bless my family.

[@SonyasPrep]

Awww so beautiful

[@marcellacruser951]

Hi Sonya! We call that squash a yellow crookneck or yellow straight neck, depending on how the variety grows. I'm totally doing the lamb meatball soup tomorrow! That looks so yummy. Baby boy looks like he's getting big and strong. Well done, Momma! You two really made another beautiful gift for this world. He will do great things!

[@SonyasPrep]

[@SonyasPrep]

Amen!!

[@leilareggie1826]

As I have aged I have looked for shortcuts just for myself. I use a huge mug I put a variety of three sachets of herbal medicinal teas in. Always a ginger, an elderberry and a third a berry or citrus. I add a local area raw honey . I let it steep for at least 10-15 minutes, leave rhe bags in and sip on it. Only after I might have a coffee later in the day. Thank you for showing how planning and prepping ahead really pays off for the whole family. Shalom.

[@allieeverett9017]

Oh I can never watch you without crying. You touch my heart so. Thank you for taking such good care of your family. The world needs your example 🤩🤩😘

[@patriciaweighparks9347]

Beautiful baby and family!I enjoy watching your vlogs I live alone it is so nice to watch you prepare delicious meals for your family.

[@sarala1jan]

Congratulations on your new born and being a mother again. Just last week I came across your channel and been enjoying your vlogs. You're a dotting mother, can see in your face you just love your family and cooking for them. Your kids are well mannered, cultured, and respectful. I grew up in a similar cultured family not Jewish, an Indian (South Asia). I drink a lot of water, fresh coconut water, and every day I drink either hot matcha tea or any herbal teas.

[@theresadavis4885]

So good to see you back!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SonyasPrep]

Happy to be back, missed being here

[@pamreynolds6812]

I am so happy to see your videos again. You make it look so easy. But I know how organized you are . Have a blessed Shabbos

[@shauneilscott]

Happy to see you again. That was lovely. I want all of the cookies for sure (hehe). I look forward to seeing all of your children grow with you and become all that God has for them. May your newborn be as sweet as those cookies look. Thanks for the reminder of God blessings during this time. Be blessed!

[@SonyasPrep]

Haha thank you

[@deborahdavis8680]

Hello Sonya! I recently discovered you and have enjoyed your wonderful videos! You are so sweet, and even though I have been a housewife for so long, I'm finding motivation from your organizational skills and your wonderful cooking. Thank you so much for sharing your life and ideas with us. My three children were so close in age that I felt like I had triplets, and even though they are grown, I'm enjoying how you organize your household. If I get lazy, I watch your videos and you motivate me to get off the sofa and get busy. There is always something to be done when you have a home.

[@mjc63]

Watching Sonyas Prep has inspired me to do more cooking at home and my doctor was SMILING at my last checkup!!! I drink more Tea, some Coffee, and occasional hot chocolate!!! Hugs, Michael Albuquerque NM USA PS the shot of you, baby, Aviva and Miriam is adorable!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share this video. The baby is beautiful, glad you’re having a wonderful time enjoying your newborn. All the food looks wonderful; the lamb meatball soup looks especially amazing. I have one coffee a day, instant with barista oat milk. I like peppermint or lemon and ginger tea too. My favourite hot chocolate is from a U.K. coffee chain called Pret A Manger, made with coconut milk; it tastes like a melted Mounds bar. Delicious! I drink a lot of plain water too.

[@ElizabethAlex8]

Sonya, your baby is adorable! Thank you so much for taking time to give us this update!

[@SonyasPrep]

My pleasure

I love hot, plain unsweetened Matcha (whch is finely ground green tea) in place of coffee, although I do love a coffee or espresso sometimes, too! Glad to see you back in action and enjoying the baby and family. Back to work is always hard, you are a superstar! Yehuda is so adorable, glad he and you are well!
