and your sister too😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Ashleightroll]

Thank you for sharing. You have a beautiful family and give good advice. I'm not a parent but I work with lots of parents. I totally agree that new parents need to take time for their own well-being and their baby. Try not to worry about being productive in any other ways. Unfortunately, not all parents have a support system that allows them to do this.

[@tamarmeisels4637]

Thank you so much 🙏😊 Absolutely, I hope that this becomes more of a norm, makes a huge difference 💕

[@mnapwo21]

You look just well.

[@marionfishman9493]

You have your mother's smile and eye gaze. Bubby made granola all the time- perhaps your recipe is hers? Bubby and Zaide would be kvelling.

[@tamarmeisels4637]

Really?! 😍 Cool! Also making chocolate chip cookies reminds me of bubby 💕 They were such modest humble people prob social media would seem strange to them and they would be right 😊 Miss them 💕💕 hope we are all bringing them nachas down here..

Isn’t it sad that we moms can struggle with feeling productive when “all we do is take care of a baby all day”? Breastfeeding was so challenging for me it would take 45 min each feeding and then diaper change. So the whole process was about an hour. So do that 8 times a day and you have a legit full time job just feeding your baby!!! I’m so proud of you for getting your rest!!! I know it can be so hard but it really is so good for your physical and mental health! I used to keep an breastfeeding journal. I also documented which side I started on!! 😊 Are your kids still in school or are they going to summer camp??? Our kids get out of school late May or early June. I’m also glad you have support! That is wonderful! Your food and snacks look good! I love granola! I need to learn to make it. PLEASE, please, please don’t get offend when I tell you this. I noticed baby looking to one side a lot. Try to make sure he’s looking to both sides. I didn’t know this, but when one of my boys was little, he would always look to one side- especially in his baby swing. I didn’t think much about it. But he ended up developing torticollis. Nothing permanent but just his neck muscles had gotten really tight on one side. It cleared up within weeks with massage and physical therapy. I know I’m just seeing snippets of your day, so please don’t think I’m telling you what to do. ❤ Please continue to take care of yourself and gradually get back to your normal routine. I saw your Bris video and had written a long comment. Then my phone died before I sent it!! I was so upset! I’ll write it again soon! Take care! Much love to you and your family! Your friend, Karen ❤😊

[@tamarmeisels4637]

This time around I made a real effort in those first few weeks to be as unproductive as possible outside mom and new baby 💕 😂 They have summer camps in their respective schools, till mid August. Wow what are they all up to? That is a loooong vacation 😂😂 I very very rarely get offended and def not from such a kind person and comment as this 🙏 will def look into that thanks 💕 O shucks too bad Abt that long comment 😔❤️ well it's great to hear from you now 💕 Thank you so much , your friend from Israel 💕😘

[@karenjohnson5634]

Whew! I’m glad you didn’t get offended!! ❤😊 My boys are really bad into video gaming. They play that a lot. Some are working. One is getting ready to start working at a grocery store once we get the paperwork complete. He is also training for cross country at school and he runs almost every day. And then some play basketball or go over to a friends house. Yes, it’s a LONG break!! 😂 🤪🤪🤪🤪I’m currently working with my daughter on school stuff. She’s struggling with reading so I bought a homeschool curriculum and we are going through that. She is really enjoying it! She will be in 1st grade when she goes back in late August. Enjoy that precious little one!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I like those little zipper outfits too!! Used them all the time 😊

[@tamarmeisels4637]

Wow y'all have a lot going on 😊 I guess bigger kids manage themselves mostly 😂 Amazing that you are working on getting ready for first grade. Here you don't have to be reading at all 😊 my husband teaches them to read in English and will let the teacher do the Hebrew teaching 😊💕

[@Happylady506]

I want to meet you in person ! You are so amazing do you live in Beit Shemesh by any chance

[@tamarmeisels4637]

Hehe you're so sweet 😚💕 My brother lives in beit shemesh! I live right outside of Tel Aviv 🎉

[@user-jp4sc7iy6p]

Hi Tamar, sorry Amiad was up all night…When my babies were tiny, I had to temporarily go off milk, garlic, cabbage, broccoli…maybe try that?

[@tamarmeisels4637]

Ya that was a rough night ! But thankfully we didn't have too many of those nights, he's two months now and seems to be much better! Wow sounds tough going off milk, don't think I would've managed that hehe.. Amazing you did that for them ❤❤

[@Roxanne_V]

Hi what are the ingredients to make your granola? It looks so yummy!

[@tamarmeisels4637]

I know we are hooked on this granola! 😍 I actually have a video on granola in one my early videos 😄 Here's the recipe - 💕 Ingredients- 4 cups old fashioned oats 4 cups nuts you like (I add 1 cup of chopped walnuts, pecan, almonds each and 1 cup of sunflower seeds) I started also adding pumpkin seeds 😋 drizzle honey (test this one to figure out how much honey yields the sweetness you like) 1/2 cup canola oil 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tablespoon brown sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon hot water 1 cup of dried fruit (optional), I personally don’t like

[@helenr216]

Sweet realistic video. Tamar, look into Dr. Suzanne Humphries on the dangers of vaccinations. Love, From Israel

[@karenjohnson5634]

As an American, vaccines are starting to scare me. I’ve lost so much respect and trust in the medical community since 2020. 😢

[@tamarmeisels4637]

Thank you so much Helen 🙏🙏
