October Adventures
This month I tried to be conscious about leaving my house and going places I enjoy. I sometimes get “stuck” at home, especially on Sundays, so after Succos, I put an activity on the calendar for each week.

Sweater Weather
Just a light little post about shopping. This post is the exact mirror image of the one I wrote about spring shopping: now, I dread the cold but loove the clothing. I must have hibernated the last few winters, because I haven’t done real winter shopping in the longest time and this season I am on a mission to fill …
Your Ideas
Since I wrote this about losing my list of post ideas, I have published more than 80 posts! Woah, amazing — the stream of ideas continues to flow. At the same time, I am curious to hear what you would like to read about. Maybe something revisiting a topic, or something I haven’t addressed yet, or something random for fun? …
Thoughts on a Work Life
I meant to post this list around Labor Day but that didn’t happen. Some thoughts on a work life:
Twenty for 5784
Yes, yes, I did this less than a year ago for 2023, and haven’t worked through that one (quite). But I needed a boost going into the new year, and I do adore a bucket list. I also noticed upon rereading my list for 2023 that a number of items focused on good habit formation, and though that’s generally a …
A Visit to Vienna and Salzburg, Part II
So, picking up where I left us off (thank you for reading along!) On Sunday, we headed to Hallstatt. This is a small village which our guidebook said was a must-see. It turned out we had to take…four trains and a boat to get there. Part of that was probably due to relying on my phone for directions instead of …
A Visit to Vienna and Salzburg, Part I
Last week I came back from my break and I wanted to share a recap of where we went and what we did. This post ended up growing a lot longer than intended, so you’ve been notified. Austria was on my bucket list for years. My grandfather grew up in Vienna, and I grew up on The Sound of …
Out of Office
Hello, all. Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be away through the end of next week, with iy”H a post on Monday after next. Wishing you a beautiful end of the summer season! I hope you get a chance to wrap up your summer bucket lists (I never did get to the beach, the horror). Can’t wait to share details of …
Dinner Parties
One of the things I miss most about living in my apartment is making and hosting Shabbos meals. I daydream about getting my own place — I’ve put out feelers but a comfortable and affordable rental is hard to find! I love to plan the gatherings I’d host (will host!) in an apartment of my own. I like the idea …
I Don’t Love To Travel
I read this great article in The New Yorker about travel and I kept thinking, yes! I totally agree! I had actually just been thinking about travel. I’m 31, and planning my third trip to Europe. I went to Italy at 22 (so yooooung), Spain at 25, and now be”H Austria at 31. Meanwhile many people my age have been …
