It’s the middle of September, friends and that means our kids are gonna start rattling off their #Halloween hopes and dreams! @parents magazine asked me to craft up some #animalcostumes this year, and my first to share is this sweet, elegant snail!
🐌
This costume is cheap and simple to make, and is worn like a lightweight backpack. Kudos to @jillrothstein for the super styling and @timothy_smith_ for the gorgeous photos! (And @agnethe12 at Parents for her impeccable art direction every time!) click my bio link for the how-to!

There have been a lot of #takeyourkidtoworkday’s

There have been a lot of #takeyourkidtoworkday’s this summer and many of them end up with me organizing projects for the kids and hardly working. But the other day Sommer came at me with this request—she wanted to arm knit a blanket.

I am well-acquainted with her level of frustration at these sort of projects so I was sure I’d be spending more time on this than I wanted to.

But dang. I was so wrong. First I looked up a @flaxandtwine tutorial because she is the bomb when it comes to any kind of knitting without needles (in fact she wrote a gorgeous book of that same name). And then we made our way through some video tutorials and she finished this in less than 30 minutes! Now she is begging for more chunky yarn to make more. I will gladly oblige.

Opening a magazine and seeing my crafts never gets old. Here is the first of a many projects that I've crafted for @revealmag, the publication by the Scott Brothers from @HGTV. Drew's wife @imlindork is a craft enthusiast, and I got to play with clay for her column in the Summer issue. Sometimes it's fun fun to craft for adults every once in a while. Go grab a copy while it's still on the newsstands!

As #sleepawaycamp sessions are coming to a close,

As #sleepawaycamp sessions are coming to a close, kids will be coming home singing new songs, sporting an armful of string bling, and regaling us with stories of color war and cannonball contests!
🏕
While they will be excited to sleep in their own beds and eat their fave home-cooked meal (hello, we are veggies... remember us?), they will ache for campfires and late night giggle sessions.
🔥
Keep the camp vibes alive by welcoming them home with a @campwannabee #craftkit, full of fun crafts and campy merch including a coin purse, button pins, a collapsible drinking cup, and postcards that say "Wish We Were There!" Camp Wannabee is their camp-away-from-camp...because #camp is where they always wanna be!

This is what it looks like when fatherhood is a lifelong goal. He’s everyone’s go-to, attracts the undivided attention of random dogs and babies, and comes up with creative tickle tactics such as “the clavicle is magical.” @mcohen15 ❤️❤️

When I was in 2nd grade in Atlanta, GA, my Hebrew

When I was in 2nd grade in Atlanta, GA, my Hebrew school teacher Mrs. Kleber asked a room of 7-8 year olds this question: "Do you consider yourself an American Jew or a Jewish American?" I remember really thinking about it, trying to decipher what the difference was. It came down to grammar for me...what was my noun and what was my adjective? I decided that my noun was American and my adjective was Jewish...that I was solidly an American first.

In looking back at that answer, I think it had something to do with the fact that I was a Jewish girl in an Episcopalian school...and Jewish was a modifier that set me apart from the rest of the kids in my class on a daily basis. And I was uneasy with that difference. Did my parents sit me down as a 6 year-old entering a parochial school to say "You will learn things and hear things, but we don't believe them. You are Jewish."? I have no idea how I knew not to kneel during Wednesday chapel services, but I knew. (Though I was endlessly fascinated with those flip-down kneelers!) Did I go home asking questions? Or did I just stew it around in my head until I made some semblance of peace with my difference?

Now I am 46 and pretty comfortable with all of it being the adjectives, and the noun just being SELF. I am Jewish, I am American, I am female, I am flawed, I am sensitive, I am kind, I am optimistic, I am tired.

While the conflict has calmed down in the Middle East this week, that question from my 2nd grade Hebrew school class felt pulled into the present—the connection of being Jewish and supporting Israel. Can I support the idea of Israel, but also condemn their actions? I don't even know anymore. And even though their skies are not bright orange this week, the hate and violence are still alive...there and towards Jews everywhere. As a now New Yorker, anti-semetism feels like folklore to me at this point, but it so is NOT. Is Jewish hate so commonplace at this point that people don't feel the need to stand up to it?

I decided not to post a blue square as my #stopjewishhate plea, but rather a more entertaining photo of me at my 1988 bat mitzvah, in all its glitzy splendor!

This is the perfect time of year for some nature crafting. Kids are finding that the great outdoors has always been great and are connecting with nature on a deeper level, thanks to the necessity of being outside.

Matilda-inspired Easter Eggs. This was one of my most fun assignments ever! A few years ago, I worked with @people to produce an #easteregg craft based on Matilda the Musical. I got to craft with the four young actors that alternated in the role of Matilda and this video appeared on People.com. To this day, one of my favorite gigs ever!
