Spring Holidays

In 11 days it will be Passover. It is the earliest that Passover has ever been. I personally am not ready for it. We are having the 2nd Night Seder and I need to figure out what I am cooking so I can order my meat, organize the dinner and figure out all the details. 

Easter is not that far off either. It is only 17 days away. Is the Easter bunny visiting your house this year? How many eggs will your children collect when they do the egg hunt?

I grew up in a family that we had an open door policy. Everyone was welcomed no matter what holiday it was, no matter how many people we had, my parents always welcomed everyone. We always had a few non-Jews who did not observe the Jewish holidays but they always wanted to come to our home. It was wonderful! We always had a full house for each and every holiday. What a wonderful memory.

I learned a lot from my parents and I am very thankful for that. I am continuing the tradition with my family with an open door policy for all of our holidays. 

Do you have any special traditions that you do for your holidays?

So are you ready for Passover/Easter? Do you have everything you need? Here are some of our top sellers that we are selling. Matzoh covers, Easter bowls and plates, Passover placemats and place cards or Easter invitations we have it all.

Miracles Do Happen

For those of you who have been following my blog posts or my Facebook posts about Sydney I wanted to give you some wonderful news.

Sydney is doing better each day. It is going to be a long haul but she is such a miracle girl. The doctors say she should make a full recovery. Thank g-d for that! 


I personally don't know Sydney but I feel like I do through all the posts that have come on Facebook and also through a group I am part of to help out the family. My 7 year old son does know Sydney and he tells me all the time of how sweet she is and how cute she is. He said to me the other day that he can't wait to see her in the hallways at school to say hi to her. 

I was in the city last week talking to someone and they asked me if I knew Sydney and how she was doing. I just looked "dump stud" for a second. I just met this person and we were doing business and she had asked me my address and when I mentioned Port Washington, NY she started to get tears in her eyes. I asked her if she was ok and all she could say was poor Sydney. Than she said that she can't say that because she needed to turn it around and make it positive for Sydney. It amazed me that this stranger was so touched by Sydney. She said her friend is on Facebook and heard about it and she has been trying to get information ever since. She held her cross to her heart and just kept saying, way too go girl!

Keep the prayers and positive thinking going! Sydney and her family really appreciate all the prayers and positive thinking. This family is an amazing family! We could all learn something from them.
