Thank you for the lovely videos!! I have to say, when you told your child "mommy is not a trash can" you sounded exactly like my mom! 😀 It made me laugh out loud!
I loved this video. I am a grandma of 4 home schooled kids, who live far away from me. I am in Canada, they are in South Carolina. Every Thursday morning I do one hour of home schooling with them on facetime. I teach Dutch, and they are getting so good at this. I have gotten a whole new level of respect for home schooling! You are doing a great job, and love following you!
Morning sickness is a lie lol. I remember when I was pregnant I was sick felt like all day. Thank God for third trimester. Much love Rissy from Vancouver BC ♥ Feel better soon
“Mommy’s not a trash can!” Haha! The amount of times I’ve said that. We live in IL and got so much snow! Possibly more tonight. The kids LOVE it… I’m ready for spring/summer! 😂 Hope morning sickness gets better soon!
Lol I’m glad I’m not the only one who has that problem! I laugh at my kids because they will literally walk by the trash can to hand me a wrapper lol But I guess it’s better than leaving it out on the table
I love when you leave in the kids talking to you and your responses❤. I had a dad that killed himself when i was one and an abusive mother who was struggling to live and was bitter. So our interactions were mostly to leave her alone and stop bothering her😢. I am trying to model the mothering I wanted❤
The snow shots are super cute. Here in Toronto we've had several feet of snow for many weeks and I'm tired of it but seeing the obvious joy that they have cavorting in the snow is GREAT!
I have arfid and past anorexia. Fake teeth, small dry mouth and trouble swallowing….. i watch your videos when I eat to help distract me to be calm and finish my food. Butternut squash, gf bread with ghee, raisins, quinoa stars right now❤❤❤
@@jaroffireflies I was also laughing but happy to see their natural childlike responses to the snow and opportunities for fun. Bella was also having a blast. The beauty of your homeschool is that your children are already seeing the beauty in nature, in its many guises. They have wonder and curiosity in their hearts. My little Iris is the same.
@@catherinenunan3584 I firmly believe that one of the best things my parents did for me when I was growing up was take us camping often. We didn’t go to Disneyland or vacations like that, we went out in nature and explored and enjoyed. I’m working to give my children that gift too. It gave me such an appreciation for so much.
If you haven't encountered it, may I recommend The Wheel On The School? That book, set in the Netherlands, was more impactful than I realized when we first encountered it in our homeschool. Key principle: after you've looked everywhere that it could possibly be, look everywhere that it couldn't possibly be. Because the children work together, build greater understanding of differences, and work cooperatively with their community, I think that you would really enjoy it.
What a lovely video! I can't believe how tall your eldest is!!! My ex is from Dallas, and the year we met, Dallas had a major winter storm, and people were still trying to get to work, school etc. Videos showed people sliding and falling because of the ice. Being Canadian, I kind of giggled because up here, we know not to walk on ice! 🙃
Good morning Chana! It’s always a treat to see a “week in the life” video. I loved how you used your meal for education purposes. I consider all moms that homeschool really blessed. See you soon! 🙂
I just want to say how adorable your daughter outfit is Tuesday, she looks like a little mini me! Also your oldest has gotten so much taller just in the few months that I found your channel, youngest is such a sweet lil bit too.
"mommy's not a trash can!" cracked me up 😄 funny 1 of my earliest memories of school was grade 1 in French immersion....the 1st word we learned was the word for garbage can....the adult me now appreciates why! 😁
I like that you protect the kids privacy. Your youngest has a perfect head and great helping hands. All the kids are great. I like that family time is truly together time not 4 people doing 4 different things. I'm in my late 50's and still like flashlights, my winter hat has a light. I am happy it warmed up to 35 and I am going outside. The sun is warm. Bella is loving it, winter snow and ice can be beautiful.
I love snow days! We live in the south and get snow occasionally and everything shuts down. I’m from the Midwest so I just laugh. This was such a lovely and calming video. Cherish your time with your little ones and it goes so quickly. Your children are so sweet and you can see how much you love them. I’ve had a week or two of nothing but stress so I might binge watch some of your happy videos so I can feel ok. G-d and have a wonderful Shabbat with your family tomorrow evening.😊😊😊
Love how you spend your time with the kids and always so busy. They are so very lucky and great to see they help you with chores, I think that is so important. I get hungry watching you make all that good food. Love how Bella likes to play in the snow, I think most dogs do. If you want lots of snow ,come visit Canada, we can supply it 😀🇨🇦. Enjoyed this video.
I want you to know much I get out of your blog. I am 61 with 3 amazing grandchildren. I am in Savannah,Ga in a very small but active Jewish community. I love watching you and have learned so much with you. You are awesome.
I jus love your videos so much! You inspire me. I find it so hard to stay on top of the chores and all that at home. I’m a single mom. And seeing you as a stay at home momma of 3 and one on the way getting everything done in strides makes me feel better. You’re realistic about life and your days. 💜 thank you!!
I loved this! It would be nice to hear you read Parsha...or anything you them. Poetry, too! I really admire everything about your parenting and approach to life. My heart goes out to you with your nausea issues but I feel it's the best way possible to be sick to your tummy! By the way, your face really does light up when the loves of your life enter your view! Never lose sight of your bliss...
I am glad you enjoyed the day. Everyone else had a snow day, why shouldn’t you? I enjoyed your day too! Be well, and remember to take care of yourself too! You look beautiful. See you next time.
Chana, you are a woman after my own heart! I love BLACK! I wear a lot of it (I look at it as the culmination of all colors! 😉) It looks very elegant on you! I chuckled at your dog out side running around in the snow!
Hello chana, thank you for sharing your week. When snow has just fallen it’s great to walk in it. Stay save and hopefully the morning sicknes will soon be over. Greatings annie
Hi I understand how you feel with your sickness I suffered it with my two pregnancies it was called hyperemesis I had it for eight months it was horrendous I hope yours eases off you are a wonderful mother xx
I love your Lunar New Year spread! Pleas tell your little guy that he did better with chopsticks than I probably will ever do. I think it's cool they want to celebrate it every year.
I'm so glad you and your family got snow. We had snow 3 weekends in a row. Not a lot but better than nothing. Your oldest son has gotten so tall. I bet the kids are very excited for the baby. I'm so glad that you are resting as necessary. You look great
Thank you for the wonderful peek into your life. I had so many flashbacks to happy memories; sparklers, Little House on the Prairie, and a winter wonderland!
I absolutely love your videos!!! And how beautiful were those frozen trees!! I’m in Louisiana (southern) and I completely understand the excitement of a snow! We only get snow about every 10 years or so, and it’s usually a very small amount but everything shuts down for it and it’s a total “snow party”! Lol with all 1.5” of it!! 🤣🤣⛄️☃️
Thank you so much Karen! The frozen trees were spectacular and lasted for days! Y’all totally get us with everything shutting down when we get a snowflake lol
I love your videos and enjoy seeing your family’s life. You are such an awesome Mom. You very much remind me of my own mother, she was a mother of 11! She was always baking from scratch and involving us with food preparation. Hope you “morning” sickness begins to resolve. Have a great weekend.
Thank you for the video 😄 Crazy to see Texas like that: going out with a t-shirt on Monday to putting on a jacket because it's so cold 3 days later!😆 I like that I saw you celebrating the lunar year and learning something new 😊 To tell you the truth, I'm Jewish and was told a long time ago we are not suppose to do that which I always thought was weird especially when you see how Hannuka has "become " like Christmas and having a Hannuka sock up on a mantle. Anyway, thank you for showing me that it's ok 😊
So glad you enjoyed! About the Chinese New Year, we didn’t celebrate it exactly as it’s supposed to be celebrated. We used it as a learning tool because we have been learning about it in school. So we discussed how the foods were symbolic as at some of our holidays and enjoyed the experience :)
Hi, Bshaa tova! You are beautiful and shining! We had lots of rain here this past week, then it all froze overnight, so it was a whole huge layer of ice everywhere. Wishing you much revealed good!
We had snow come through last week it was great everything comes to a stop. I just hunkered in and watched it was beautiful now its melting and not so pretty.
Ours is melted here already but our backyard was a muddy mess there for a bit lol I have doggie footprints all over my house still no matter how often I mop 😂
Love your videos. I had morning sickness all 9 months with both my pregnancies. The struggle is real. Sips of Coke and saltine crackers helped me. I had to get on anti nausea medicine by the last few weeks. Praying it gets better for you!
Your week looked lovely, I am so jealous of the cold and the snow, I am currently in summer and it got to 84 today and it's staying warm over the next few days... so looking forward to the cooler weather. Thanks for showing what you're up to, it's always interesting.
I need a new notebook for keeping my church sermon notes things. I haven't found the right one yet though. I had lots of fun today too. I can't do puzzles. No patience, and my eyes. I went through my desk the other day. I have tons of stationary and I found more stamps too. I'll try to write you. My nephew loves puzzles. He's 3 and 1/2 and can-do adult puzzles.
Hey hey Thursday here and we have a fun WITL video from the lovely Chana , and what a great video , I love these videos , thanks for sharing Chana , greetings from England , goodness snow ❄️ brrr 🥶, hope it gets warmer in Texas soon 😊
Oh man that morning sickness! I had it from 6-24 weeks and as a thin but healthy 5’9 i lost 15lbs instead of gaining😮. Then in my pregnancy i gained a total of 28lbs at the end. I probably should have pushed my dr to help me more
Hi Chana! Lovely video. You and family look great! Plenty of cute moments in this, I especially loved that spontaneous hug you got from your daughter! Be well, and have a lovely, warm Shabbat!
Appreciating all the work behind your videos. Thank you for including everyone in your world, and realizing it takes a LOT to make it look so effortless ♥️ Stay well
The bloopers are still my favourite!!!! Could we get a video in your synagogue ?(if your allowed to film) I’d love to see some of the service and ritual you do during Shabbat ! X
So glad you enjoyed! I can’t film on Shabbat and wouldn’t want to be a bother at the weekday service so I don’t think I’ll be filming at our synagogue but thank you for the suggestion!
Your videos always bring peace and calmness which I definitely need! The area you walked looks magical with the snow and seeing Bella playing was adorable! I also enjoyed seeing how you spent Lunar New Year! Thank you for sharing your life and being such a bright light in the day! Much love to you ❤️
How cute was principal Bella laying next to the table during outdoors homeschool. I have family friends in the Dallas area who thankfully got through the snowrmageddon that was winter Feb 2021 and the ice storm last week. So glad all of you got through everything. Your Lunar New Year celebration looked like it was super fun.
MORNING CHANA, NICE VIEDO I JUST LOVE YOUR TEA POT WITH THE LITTLE 🐦BIRD ON TOP ITS BEAUTIFUL THE TREES WITH THE ICE LOOKED SO PRETTY THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE BOOKS I LOVE THEM I READ THEM ALL TO MY CHILDREN THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US 🥰🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
Well snow days rarely happen in the south and everyone deserves a snow day now and then!! It is good to see the children playing outside and using their imagination. We had some cold days but thankfully we dodged a bullet as Memphis had an ice storm. Today it is sunny and in the 60s!! Loved watching yall celebrate Chinese New Year....the food looked delicious!
Good morning Chana! So happy to see your oldest wearing pants in the snow. He was wearing shorts in the first part of the video, while you were talking about the upcoming colder weather. I was wondering what part of Texas you live in, where the weather changes so rapidly. Have a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to "seeing" you Monday!
Hello Chana. Loved this video. I especially liked the part seeing Bella running around in the snow. She looked so happy. Your kids are so cute. Might have a chef there in your youngest one. So awesome to see how they get a long with each other. I noticed you reading Little House On The Prairie. I loved all those books! I actually briefly so Laura’s home in Mansfield, Missouri from the outside. I think it was closed. Glad to see you are doing well. Hope you have a wonderful week. Hope the baby is doing well. Looking forward to videos of the new baby in time.
Thank you Debbie! That’s so cool you saw the house! We have talked about traveling there for a trip to visit :) My kids are really into that time period
Lovely video today Chana!😊 I loved seeing Bella in the snow and am glad you and the kids got to play too! Hope you’re all having a great week. Lesley 😊
You may have said this in another video…what are you sprinkling on the challah? So fun to watch your kids enjoying the snow and ice. We’ve had snow for over a month now and I’m so ready for it to go away. My public school kids have missed 8 days of school already so they’re going to have to do makeup days.
Happy Thursday Chana! I always look forward to your videos, but especially Thursday uploads! I have Thursday’s off so it’s nice to have a slow morning and watch your video while I enjoy breakfast. It feels like catching up with an old friend even though we’ve never met. I hope you have a lovely Shabbat! ❤️

Thank you for the lovely videos!! I have to say, when you told your child "mommy is not a trash can" you sounded exactly like my mom! 😀 It made me laugh out loud!
😂 I feel like I say that at least once a week 😂
“Mommy is not a trash can.” Truer words were never spoken. 🤣
They’ll literally walk by the trash to hand me their trash sometime lol but I guess it beats leaving it on the table lol

You have a black dishwasher with four legs! 😅 How practical!
LOL Right?!?!?
Awww that sweet hug with your daughter❤
What a sweetheart your little one was making lunch for his siblings.
He really enjoyed that :)
„This goes in the garbage…mommy is not a trash can“ is probably the best thing I have heard in a while 😂 Definitely going to use that one 😂
I say that at least once a week lol
Winter is my favorite season❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️🏂⛷️🏔️. I miss it😢. In montana most hate it but its gorgeous and full of great childhood memories for me❤❤
You lucked out with a husband with exceptional kitchen skills
I think so too!
If you haven't encountered it, may I recommend The Wheel On The School? That book, set in the Netherlands, was more impactful than I realized when we first encountered it in our homeschool.

Because the children work together, build greater understanding of differences, and work cooperatively with their community, I think that you would really enjoy it.

I love your content and style. I’ve said that before, but I find your voice so calming. I’d buy any audio book you narrated.
Thank you so much :) I would love to record audio books!
It's snowing in the Scottish Highlands, too!
Oh I bet it’s beautiful!
Since Jerusalem got snow this year, Texas should be able to come through with snow. It looks like a winter wonderland. The dog seems to love it.
We seem to get similar weather for sure! Yes, Bella LOVED the snow so much!
I love how Bella is always there to help with the dishes.😂
Always :)
Little House On The Prairie is a childhood favorite. 💕💕 I still read it as an adult.
We are really enjoying working our way through the series :)
Bella’s like “what is this stuff? whatever it is, i love it”. dogs seem to love snow.
Oh my gosh right?!? She had an absolutely amazing time in the cold and snow
What a lovely video! I can't believe how tall your eldest is!!!

I love seeing Bella step in as the pre-wash cycle on your dishwasher 🤣.
Every time lol
Nice to have an extra long video. Enjoy the snow
So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
It’s almost snowing here in Australia 🇦🇺

I hope your morning sickness stops, and you can enjoy things more. And I share your love of poetry!

Your sweet doggy was loving the cold weather! It’s been cold and rainy in Florida but no snow.
Oh she absolutely LOVED the snow so much! Do y’all ever get snow in Florida?
@@jaroffireflies very rarely. It snowed fir Christmas in 1989, but not since then. I live in north Florida, so it does get cold here.
@@coopie624 wow! We usually get snow once a year but have years of no snow as well
Hey hey Thursday here and we have a fun WITL video from the lovely Chana , and what a great video , I love these videos , thanks for sharing Chana , greetings from England , goodness snow ❄️ brrr 🥶, hope it gets warmer in Texas soon 😊
😊😊😊 It’s already 70!!! It cleared up quick :)
Oh man that morning sickness! I had it from 6-24 weeks and as a thin but healthy 5’9 i lost 15lbs instead of gaining😮. Then in my pregnancy i gained a total of 28lbs at the end. I probably should have pushed my dr to help me more
Hi Chana! Lovely video. You and family look great! Plenty of cute moments in this, I especially loved that spontaneous hug you got from your daughter!
Be well, and have a lovely, warm Shabbat!
Thank you so much!!!! It’s so fun to capture these moments both for myself and to share with y’all :)
Just caught up with your channel. Congratulations on your pregnancy news.
Thank you Donna!
Appreciating all the work behind your videos. Thank you for including everyone in your world, and realizing it takes a LOT to make it look so effortless ♥️ Stay well
Thank you so very much! I really appreciate that!!!
I love your videos. You are such an amazing mom. I love that your daughter wants to dress like you. I was the same way when I was little.
Thank you so much for your kind words Daphne!
The bloopers are still my favourite!!!! Could we get a video in your synagogue ?(if your allowed to film) I’d love to see some of the service and ritual you do during Shabbat ! X
So glad you enjoyed! I can’t film on Shabbat and wouldn’t want to be a bother at the weekday service so I don’t think I’ll be filming at our synagogue but thank you for the suggestion!
Your videos always bring peace and calmness which I definitely need! The area you walked looks magical with the snow and seeing Bella playing was adorable! I also enjoyed seeing how you spent Lunar New Year! Thank you for sharing your life and being such a bright light in the day! Much love to you ❤️
Thank you so much! Your words always brighten my day and bring a smile to my face 😊💖
how cute that you prepared Lunar New Year Dinner. Love it.
It was so fun! The kids really loved it :)
How cute was principal Bella laying next to the table during outdoors homeschool. I have family friends in the Dallas area who thankfully got through the snowrmageddon that was winter Feb 2021 and the ice storm last week. So glad all of you got through everything. Your Lunar New Year celebration looked like it was super fun.
Bella always loved to be nearby so she can guard her family 💖😊 She’s the best!
MORNING CHANA, NICE VIEDO I JUST LOVE YOUR TEA POT WITH THE LITTLE 🐦BIRD ON TOP ITS BEAUTIFUL THE TREES WITH THE ICE LOOKED SO PRETTY THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE BOOKS I LOVE THEM I READ THEM ALL TO MY CHILDREN THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US 🥰🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
Thank you Mary! 💖
Well snow days rarely happen in the south and everyone deserves a snow day now and then!! It is good to see the children playing outside and using their imagination. We had some cold days but thankfully we dodged a bullet as Memphis had an ice storm. Today it is sunny and in the 60s!! Loved watching yall celebrate Chinese New Year....the food looked delicious!
It’s about 70 here today! Cracks me up how fast the weather can change around here :)
Good morning Chana! So happy to see your oldest wearing pants in the snow. He was wearing shorts in the first part of the video, while you were talking about the upcoming colder weather. I was wondering what part of Texas you live in, where the weather changes so rapidly. Have a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to "seeing" you Monday!
The weather changes here a LOT! We say, “If you do t like the weather in Texas, wait five minutes” 😂
@@jaroffireflies We say the same thing about the rain here in South Florida!
@@CherylNoe true!
Hello Chana. Loved this video. I especially liked the part seeing Bella running around in the snow. She looked so happy. Your kids are so cute. Might have a chef there in your youngest one. So awesome to see how they get a long with each other. I noticed you reading Little House On The Prairie. I loved all those books! I actually briefly so Laura’s home in Mansfield, Missouri from the outside. I think it was closed. Glad to see you are doing well. Hope you have a wonderful week. Hope the baby is doing well. Looking forward to videos of the new baby in time.
Thank you Debbie! That’s so cool you saw the house! We have talked about traveling there for a trip to visit :) My kids are really into that time period
Lovely video today Chana!😊
I loved seeing Bella in the snow and am glad you and the kids got to play too!
Hope you’re all having a great week.
Lesley 😊
Thank you Leslie! Bella loved the cold and especially the snow soooo much! It was so fun to play with her out there :)
You may have said this in another video…what are you sprinkling on the challah? So fun to watch your kids enjoying the snow and ice. We’ve had snow for over a month now and I’m so ready for it to go away. My public school kids have missed 8 days of school already so they’re going to have to do makeup days.
I think I used zatar seasoning in this video. Everything but the bagel seasoning is also super yummy :)
Happy Thursday Chana! I always look forward to your videos, but especially Thursday uploads! I have Thursday’s off so it’s nice to have a slow morning and watch your video while I enjoy breakfast. It feels like catching up with an old friend even though we’ve never met. I hope you have a lovely Shabbat! ❤️
Thank you Heather! Enjoy your day off!
Blessed morning, hope your feeling better with your sickness
Thank you! I am!
We only really saw sleet and ice down here in Waco last week. So I envy those of you up in the Dallas area who saw snow.
Sorry you didn’t get more!
