What I’m thankful for this Jewish New Year is written in partnership with South Shore Fine Linens
Being that we are beginning a brand new year (sure it’s a Jewish New Year- but as far as I’m concerned any reason to pop open a bottle of wine and eat cake should be cause for celebration for all of mankind’s creatures)I thought it would be appropriate to jot off What I’m thankful for this Jewish New Year.
In this very moment- I am healthy and have a husband who understands the value of a TV in a marriage here is What I’m thankful for this Jewish New Year..
What I’m thankful for this Jewish New Year
Kids and two dogs who are 98 percent potty trained. I say 98 percent becasue when we dropped off the boys at my sister’s house she found an unexpected surprise in her bedroom. Really this I count as one of my greatest achievements as a mother- the fact that I got two kids ( and dogs)– to learn how to use the potty.
No my dog doesn’t actually sit on a toilet- but you get the gist! Having a diaper-free life – where I don’t have to worry about forgetting to take one with me- and thus need to resort to using a makeshift paper towel one instead on a toddler who has just majorly pooped his pants – well it’s just plain liberating.
Coffee. Really need I say more—it is the sweet nectar of the gods and the spring in my step- the reason I manage to drag myself out of bed every morning at the crack of 5;30 am, to make PB&J sandwiches for my son- and smile sweetly at him, when he spills his almond milk all over his Stuyvesant sweatshirt, as my husband honks at our front door to make sure he doesn’t miss the ferry to Manhattan.
South Shore Fine Linens. This company offers the most yummy linens at a fraction of the price! And what better way to start a brand new year than with Start a Brand New Bedspread!
A complete (and cheap) bedroom makeover can seem like a daunting and almost unachievable task — nobody wants to pay an arm and a leg for an interior designer, yet nobody really wants to spend hours painting their walls or breaking their back while pouring over IKEA manuals!

Alas… There is! You don’t have to spend a ton of time or money renovating your room to achieve an amazing new look. The secret is this:
You can completely transform your bedroom for cheap using 5 few simple tricks.
Check out their bedroom makeover on a budget infographic which starts with swapping out your old bedspread for a brand new one — your bed is the main focal point of your bedroom, and you can achieve a total transformation with your bed alone!

Femme Luxe. Finally a fashion company that creates the cutest and most afforadble pieces that ship right to your door so no need to struggle through those harsh fitting room lights!
Nutella. Apparently it is now considered almost as healthy a spread as peanut butter, being that it’s mostly comprised of hazelnuts. Truly a spoonful a day 9 Okay sometime a few a day)- is akin to that peppermint patty feeling of being taken away to a small café in Brussels, as I spread it on a biscotti (well at least in my head).

Eminence Medical Aesthetics. Stay tuned for all about my experience there but until then just watch this short video below! CAN WE JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO ADMIRE THE PRECISION OF Dr. Yunayev’s technique?!!!

Call ☎️ their office and tell them “MELISSA” SENT YOU to get a special discount on your next procedure! 💉 707 State Road, Suite 221, Princeton NJ 08540 +1 (888) 983-2649 or email 📧 them info@eminencema.com . . .

The brand new Chabad of The North shore. y’all i wish every member of the tribe could experience chabad. i wanted to do an fb live of Chabad North shore’s rosh hashana service but since I couldn’t take my word for it that YOU ARE WELCOME THERE in every sense of the word. and if you are a jew in any way shape or form Ya need to stop by and say hi 👋
SpongeBob Square Pants. Finally a cartoon that I can sit through more than five minutes of, without quietly trying to slip out of the room without my kids realizing. SpongeBob’s earnest goodness truly makes me want to be a better person and rid myself of my cynicism. It might just be the best sitcom on television.
And of course Rosh Hashanah. A holiday that sanctions eating yourself silly with no one passing any judgment on you—rather people continually asking if you’d like them to heap another serving of potato kugel on your plate. I mean really what can possibly be better than that!
Happy new year!
I love your list. I am pretty thankful for Nutella too. And Diet Coke is like coffee for me. 😉 It’s how I get my caffeine, so I am very thankful for that.
Happy New Year! Your dogs are adorable! As a mom of 5 humans, I can really relate to the thrill of being diaper-bag free. Thankfully, my dogs are also house trained and rarely have accidents.
I love your list. Your fur babies are so adorable. It’s such a proud moment when potty training is going well.

I love your list! These are all great things to be thankful for. And I totally hear you on the diapers! We recently flew cross country and there were a lot of crying babies – I do not miss that!
Shana tova, love!! I hope you had an incredible celebration. Also, Nutella is considered as healthy as peanut butter?! Gotta grab me some Nutella, then!
My family also celebrates the Jewish New Year! It sounds like you had a wonderful celebration!
I will always be thankful for coffee and nutella! Love this list of things that you’re grateful for. It’s really important that we appreciate what we have, especially the little things that make life better for us from day to day!
It is crazy how fast this ear is approaching its end. I am really thankful for so many things that have happened this year.

It’s so important to look back and be thankful for everything and everyone in our lives. I can’t believe we are almost done with 2019. Cheers and hope you have a wonderful rest of the year.
I love that you paused to take time to list everything that you are grateful for the Jewish New Year. My fav was the black jumpsuit.
