all the Tishrei inspo

When Tishrei comes, a lot of us feel… overworked physically, underwhelmed spiritually.

It can be hard to really feel the Yom Tov when we are busy with so many logistical things, and the familiar routine of going to shul becomes disrupted or unavailable to us.

So, what is really our avodah as mothers? How can we tap into Tishrei? And what parenting lessons can we learn from this season to internalize and apply throughout the year?

Here's a round-up of resources to help you both tackle and enjoy this hectic month.

          get to know me

          I've been there: wanting to do everything right and not knowing where to begin. I knew what kind of mother I wanted to be, just not how to actually get there.

          1 degree (Master's in Education), 7+ years, hundreds of books, thousands of virtual students later... I've kind of figured it out. And I want you to know it, too.

          Now, I'm far enough along to guide you—and with 4 kids, still very much in it to remember what it's like!

          I'm Mushka.
