Gelt Bags

photo by J. Pollack Photography

I am label-happy! It's a common condition occuring when a Jewish Mother gets a fun new product she can use to package things up for Jewish holidays for her kids. These labels! They're so fun! I'll find some bazooka gum and Elite chocolate to put in them too, along with a little sparkly confetti, and the kids will love these!

They'll also look pretty on the kids' placesettings on our meal table. I'm sure I'll have to listen to a lot of "Mom, can I have my gelt now?" but it will be worth it!

Rustic Thanksgivukkah Table DIY

Let's get our DIY on, it's time to make some decoations! One of my favorite go-to DIY websites, Studio DIY, made these great decorations last year. They're beautiful! You can add your own colors if you're going with some orange in your Thanksgivukkah table.


 Once you place some seasonal flowers it will warm up the colors you paint your jars.


For the details go to Studio DIY! And if you have any plans yet for your Thanksgivukkah table, I'd love to hear about them! 

Oh, and be sure to keep coming back and checking out our new posts, I have a giveaway coming up!

Cooking With Gelt

Barry Williams/ for New York Daily News
Recent article in the NY Daily News shows cooking with gelt! Does it taste different than throwing in a few chocolate chips? I'm not sure. But in theory, I just love the idea. Elite chocolate does have a distinct taste, doesn't it? I'm sure I could distinguish it from other chocolate!

For other recipes and to read about what in the world is a MENURKEY? see the article here.

Thanksgivukkah In The Press

Have you guys seen all the fun articles coming up lately celebrating Thanksgivukkah? I had so many great photoshoots planned and now I might not need to go through with any of them!
Photos from Buzzfeed by Macey Foronda
A menorah made out of squirrel candle holders, and a cornucopia of gelt! I shouldn't start saying "But I thought of that!" because I would be saying it A LOT. But we really have limited symbols for Hanukkah, so it makes sense that we all going in the same direction.

This article from Buzzfeed has it all... styling, recipes, products... it's just great. They even added a pilgrim buckle to a yalmuke! That's all I need to say, just go look.

Thanks for the inspiration Buzzfeed!
