Just the weather, Chanukah gift guide, sweet-smelling angels 🫧

Issue 12 // JAM

Hi !

Have you fallen into a routine yet?

Somehow we’re still shocked every evening when it’s SO dark outside but somehow not yet bedtime… but getting used to it. 

JUST A THOUGHT

“You are the clear blue sky.” 💙

One of the most powerful things I’ve learned: “You are the clear blue sky, and everything else is just the weather.”

The chaos around you, the unfinished tasks, even the frustration and resentment and guilt and exhaustion are not you. They are like clouds passing above you. (And very, very real experiences… but they are not YOU.)

How grounding to know that you are calm, clear, peaceful?

JUST IN TIME

🎁 Shopping for Chanukah gifts?

We curated this collection of gifts in a range of prices, for the people in your life — the reader, traveler, entrepreneur, entertainer, mom, chef. 

And we know all about overwhelm and decision fatigue, so the guide’s short. We hope you’ll find the perfect thing!

What are you gifting this year? We want to hear!

JUST TRY THIS

📷 REC: Take pics of your freshly bathed, cozied-up, smiling kiddos. Save them for a day when you and they are none of the above. Looking back at wet eyelashes and wet, brushed hair can really help during a tantrum or the couch-collapse that happens after a bedtime battle.

JUST A Q

What’s your #1 favorite laundry product?

Hit reply!

MOTHERHOOD MUSING

You are the source of happiness for your family. 

Hashem says: מושיבי עקרת הבית I have made it the אם הבנים, the mother, the core of the home, because who she is and how she'll influence her family with her innate tranquilly and inherent 'יראת ה will cultivate שמחה - happiness for her children.
