The ones I see there today do look a little better overall, but it still looks to me like there's been a fundamental shift. The photos all look like stock images rather than "real people." I'm guessing there's been some behind-the-scenes...

Good questions. While those are all reasonable reasons, I think it's simply that there's a pretty powerful rule that says Jews Don't Have Christmas Trees. At least in the Jewish circles I traveled in, it simply wasn't done -- it was...

My family is Jewish (not particularly religious), my partner's family is Christian (not particularly religious). For 19 years of our relationship we've never had a Christmas tree and never cared. Since having kids we've observed both...

We're having similar issues, though not identical. DD is 4 3/4 and has been a fantastic sleeper for for two solid years -- fell asleep relatively easily on her own, slept 11+ hours through the night without a problem. Then last month,...

Hi MotheringMommy, I'm sorry to hear you're going through this, too! I should tell you first that our DD (now a few months short of being 5) did revert to being TOTALLY fine within weeks or not too many months (I'm guessing it was 2-6...
