Where Have All The Dreidels Gone?
In honor of Chanukah, Im re-posting this adorable tale from last year with some updates. I know it borders on lazy, but Ive got latkes to make and gelt to buy. And its not like anything has changed. Its as timely now as it was 12 months ago. Sad. But true. LChaim.
“Holy Menorah, Moshe” – Our Blended Religious Holiday
I live in a small beach town in New Jersey and as my profile states, no, I do not know Snooki. I don’t lunch with any of the Housewives of New Jersey either. Although I’d love to be their personal Pilates instructor, so if anyone has an in, let me know.

The Best Dog Breeds for Children With Allergies
For some children, even minimal exposure to dogs can trigger sneezing as well as other more serious respiratory problems. According to Healthy Children, it’s estimated that10 percent of kids are allergic to animals, but when it’s your child begging for a puppy, it’s hard to say no. Pet Education reports there are no hypoallergenic dogs, but poodles, terriers and schnauzers have less dander and therefore a better record of allowing kids with allergies to enjoy them. Many of these dogs are particularly suited to homes with children.

It’s better to find out that an animal irritates your child’s asthma before bringing it home rather than afterward.
