This Friday my kids start their summer holiday. First comes three weeks of summer camp and then the next (almost) five weeks they will be home with us. I have to admit that I have mixed feelings this holiday. On one hand I am looking forward to not getting up at six thirty, six days […]
Doing it Differently – Interview with Michal Peltin Kilon
The idea to interview Michal was given to me by another interviewee. Michal’s journey is an interesting one; she started out as an industrial engineer and today she is a Home Perfector, a new concept you need to keep on reading to find out what is. Michal’s story is her story, but I believe that […]
It is Great to be Weird!
They say that history repeats itself and in my life, that is certainly true. My parents came to Denmark in the late sixties/ early seventies, leaving behind a then anti-Semitic Poland. I was born in Denmark and have for the most felt it to be my culture and my land. It didn’t bother me, but […]
Looking Back to See How Far we have Come Along
In the fall of 1998 I flew to Israel to volunteer for 3 months on a kibbutz. I had just been admitted to medical school in Denmark and had a few months off before the studies started. I wanted to travel, but not alone, and when a girl from work returned from a kibbutz stay […]

This might make you wish you were Swiss
My Dear Husband is born in Switzerland and spent the first 20 years of his life there. It was not until he took me to Switzerland for the first time sometime back in 1999 that I found out what I had been missing; the food! Because more than amazing landscapes and of course family, there […]
Why do we Buy Things we don’t Need and can’t Afford?
Living the frugal way we do, where most shekels are accounted for and where we have “rules” of how much we can spend and on what, has got me into some interesting conversations with people around me. Some think that it is weird, others that it is cheap and others don’t notice at all. What […]
DIY Printing on Fabric with Stamps (or Things to do with or without the Kids)
The kids had a day of this Thursday, one of the many that always falls in the spring. A small taste of the many many more days they will have off in the fast approaching summer holiday. In recent weeks I have taking a course on fabric printing. I love learning something new and this […]
I am trying to be nice! Want to join?
It all started with an incident at the kids’ school. One morning when I pulled up in front of the school a car was honking behind me, a woman signaling that I should move further along the drop off line. Yes, there was place further along but it was not authorized space for drop off […]
