When my children were younger, I spent lots of time on the phone on hold waiting for my call to be taken at my childrens' pediatrician’s office.

The good part about it was that after hearing the recording again and again, the important and useful information really stuck. One of the lines I remember well was: “Do not give in when your child cries and whines to stay up longer. Spending an extra few minutes tucking him in and saying good night, may relax him and help him fall asleep faster.”  

I feel that this concept applies to all areas of parenthood.

Many children are anxious at the start of a new school year. When sending your children off to school, spending that extra bit of time to write an encouraging, funny or loving message, or making a special supper or craft can go a long way.

Yarmulka/Mr. Barber Cupcakes

My Aunt Hannah always used to make these delicious cupcakes (minus the eyes and mustache) which we called “Yarmulka Cupcakes”.

Add some edible eyes and mustaches for an upsherin party  for a treat that is not only cute but scrumptious too!!

 No matter how you ice it, these sweet cupcake kits are sure to delight children of all ages. Add a topping that's more substantial, like chocolate lentils, for your second item.

Cupcake or donut?

One of life’s really tough decisions…. So here’s an idea to help resolve this dilemma, how about a donut cupcake combo! Top this off with Chocolate Gelt and Dreidel Candies you have the most complete Chanukah Treat! Cupcakes are displayed on an EstherO Cupcake Wall.

All the flowers that grace your Shavuos table will surely be a delight to your eye, these will surely be a delight to you palette as well.  Create them at any level, simple or sophisticated; any way you make them they’re sure to be  a sensation.
