...and now do?

I'll start. I said I would never buy my kids toys with millions of pieces or that have really annoying songs or phrases that play over and over.

They currently are the proud owners of both.

Go on bc

When I got married my mother drilled it into me how terrible it is... Hah I have learnt what a bracha it can be not to have a child 10 months after each other and completely fall apart just like my mother did

Turn into my mother!

I used to tell my mother it isn't necessary to scrub floors with a brush. I would tell her about "a mop". Now, I realize you can see the dirt when it's your own.

There are so many times I want to tell her she was right.

I said I'd never have more kids after the labor of my first. Well G-d had the last laugh. I had another baby 15 months later

Move out of the city.
I did. Then 2.5 years after I moved into the rural America's. (One house per .5 acre is "ruralia" to me.)
And the craziest part? I LOVE it.
But I still consider myself a city girl.

Here is to city girls. Cheers

Take my little ones to an Uncle Moishy concert. I did, today. I was expecting an old guy, from when I was a kid.. Surprise! New guy! Young, hip, kids thrilled! Got a free cd. I don't know if that's always or just today but, Yay!

Wear those short rainboots that came in style.
Like what's the point of rainboots if you can;t jump in puddles? And it doesn't protect the majority of your leg?

2 years later...
They were on sale for 5 dollars, and super cute.
And my tall rain boots broke, and they are hard to find in Israel. Unless you want to choose from the 3 patterns the rest of the population has.

When I was at the very beginning of becoming an observant Jew, I said that there was absolutely no way, NO WAAAY....that I would cover my beautiful hair with a wig. Well, it’s X number of years later and it is my honor and privilege to cover my hair.
