    One of my boys would cry everting he was in the car seat and in the car. I just had to keep things moving and not worry about him. When the car seat turned and he could see out then he got better. It was a great relief when that happened. I can feel your pain.

    Im so glad im watching your videos again! I've missed your deep breath and saying it's fine! That is so helpful for me when I'm feeling overwhelmed!
    I love that you wear your baby! I recently read about something called 'container baby' or 'bucket baby' which is when a baby spends much of their day in some *thing* rather than interacting with people. The stuff I read said it's detrimental to babies' development. Many parents already know this but many do not.
    Your challahs are beautiful! I don't remember if I told you that I used to work at a campus Chabad house in the kitchen. One of my jobs was making the challahs for Shabbos and Yomim Tovim. I had so much fun doing that but I never did manage tucking in the ends lol. They usually came out looking pretty strange on the ends but the students, the Rabbi and Rebbetzin and their children liked eating them so i guess that's what counts, right 😉!

    My kids were terrible in the car at night for probably their first six months. During the day they were great. They would fall right to sleep, totally calm. But at night they were constantly screaming. We never could figure out quite why, but they would be inconsolable. If we had to drive any distance at night we tried best would could to have an adult in the back seat but even then it was rough. Then one day, they just got over it!

    I love how you generally split up the day: group learning, chores, lunch, individual lessons, free time. It feels like a logical progression through the day but not monotonous. Plus with chores and such in the middle of the day, the kids get a break from sitting down and doing work and feel involved in the running of the home. But it's also super flexible based on who is up when and how everyone is feeling that day. It's a solid routine to give structure to everyone while being understanding of variances because life happens. IYH we have kids and if we end up homeschooling for whatever reason, I'd 100% come back and reference your videos as a resource and inspiration guide.
    Thank you for sharing!

I dread the messes too! I hold my breath, grit my teeth, or some times I look away or leave the area!

    I have an idea about cooking salmon that we really enjoy. I buy a jar of Olive Garden salad dressing from H‑E‑B and pour it over the salmon. That’s it.

It's bird watching season here in Israel (although it's beautiful full of birds to watch) because its migration season and sooooooo many different birds fly over Israel from the cold counties in Europe to the warm countrys in Africa. Some stay over in Israel too. So the skies r just beautiful to look at this time of year. I literally had to tell myself yesterday while driving to stop looking at the sky and focus on the road.

    Love listening to baby firefly fussing, getting really vocal 😍. Enjoy seeing your older children help around the house. Missing my nieces and nephews being small.

    This was a wonderful video to help center me after coming back from teaching my course this morning. Now I want grilled cheese for lunch!

    Regarding infant crying in the car-
    My kiddo is 13 now but I remember that vividly. I positioned her car seat so I could wrangle a hand back there. It wasn’t easy but I have long arms.
    Also I sang “hush little baby.”
    I think the song was better than my hand.
    She would stop crying to listen.
    Maybe that would help?

    I love that you call your little one “baby firefly “. It’s the sweetest! And yummmm. The challa looks delicious.

    Much needed rain is a blessing. Go you and your Fireflies for getting out.

    Hi Chana! Thank you for the great Video!! Always happy to see your kiddos enjoying school and having a day out in the rain ☔️. Seeing your daughter in her wellies splashing around reminded me of those days! Just being a kid…if only we could be so carefree as adults 😀. I have to tell you, it was so sweet to see your older son holding baby firefly👶🍼while you were teaching 🥰. And little dude…he is getting big! He was pushing the laundry cart and he looked so much taller! Boy do they change quick!! Have a great day, mama firefly☺️🧁

    Great video! Nothing like being a little kid and being able to play in the rain. It's a wonderful thing. My week? Coming to a close for work today since I'm having some minor thumb surgery in the morning. Any and all prayers are welcome. Peace!

    I binge-watched all of your videos last year during c***d and was thoroughly hooked. Now, I am really enjoying watching your children grow up! Little Dude always makes me laugh, Daughter Dude is so caring to Baby Firefly, and Eldest Dude is so tall and responsible for himself and his siblings. And, of course, Baby Firefly is a joy to see and hear his little squeaks and gurgles. Oh, and BTW, you and Mr Firefly are a great couple and amazing role models for your children. Thank you for sharing your family!

    Chana, I love how you always prepare the meals for the children with so much love and also make it look fun! You have a lot on your hands right now but still take the time to do this.
