The Love of Zeyde....

My dad (who wrote that great Omer counter over there, by the way, isn't it cool?) is known in our home as Zeyde, the Yiddish word for Grandfather. (It's pronounced in a few ways, zay-dah or zay-dee, we use the latter.)

He likes to come and visit us on Tuesdays, my day off, and hang out with me and with his grandkids. Often, it's just Yael and I to entertain him...and he doesn't seem to mind this special time with his youngest grandchild!

Here he is hanging with my girl last Tuesday...(he also brings me Starbucks, isn't that nice of him?)

Hmmm....can I get this on my hand?
Ta-da! I can!

See what other pictures people think are great this week.

Tulips and brunch are tried and true… but this Mother’s Day, surprise mom with a gesture that shows you care about all women:

Every spring Jewish Women International's Mother’s Day Flower Project sends beautiful bouquets of flowers to 150 battered women’s shelters across the U.S. in time for Mother’s Day, while it raises funds for programs that help victims of domestic violence throughout the year.

What a fabulous way to honor your mom or any other woman in your life. Click here to make your gift! Do it TODAY to guarantee on-time delivery of your cards...

A Dad Blog!?...and 5 Places I've been this week

So there are lots of stay-at-home-dads, right? Not as many as the moms, sure, but dads can, indeed stay home. In fact, my husband is one of these SAHD...which is a bad acronym, since when pronounced, it sounds like "sad"! He is very good at taking care of our young 'uns, and he works part-time outside the home as well. There's another SAHD in our neighborhood, but overall, he doesn't have a lot of support in the real world. He is not really one for blog-reading (unless I pass them on to him)...but I am! And I found a Dad-blog this week, Stay At Home Dad, Geek Style. AND he is having a Stay At Home Dad Digital Camera Give-Away. (which I'd very much like to win)...not only a camera but free stuff from smugmug.com too.

He has a very adorable daughter that he features in photos (I love photos) and they hosted a tiny chocolate lab puppy for a few days that was beyond cute with the little girl. I like reading about how he's trying to make the blogging part of his parenting as well as his work, which is a lot like how I see my blogging as well!

So go check him out...and you too can enter his contest:-)
