Shachar, Tacos, and Babies

[January 31]

My gorgeous friend Shachar just had her twin babies last weekend and I’m totally in love.  They are edible and she’s already a superb mama.  It was a real struggle for her (as it is for so many of us) and I wanted to take a second to honor her and her journey. Just a [...]
