I am a single mother by choice, blessed with my daughter Raphaela, conceived and born in Jerusalem in October 2009. Raising a happy and healthy child; balancing work, parenthood and relationships; with the additional challenge of doing it on my own, in Israel.

Gan Birthday 2013
Today, my daughter along with two other children, jumped her way officially into the Land of Four, with her birthday party at Gan. The most touching moment for me? When the teacher scattered flowers on the floor, and then to the tune of Vivaldi, each of the girls 'picked' a bouquet and presented them to their parents, as a way of saying thank you for having raised them well until now.
Funniest moment? When Raphaela performed The Chicken Dance, and man, can she swing her hips!
Most meaningful? That my parents from Boston were there to see the ceremony and enjoy this piece of our lives.
