Everything about fall

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur have past by quickly...it helped being in the choir. Rabbi Holzman and I are back on for my conversion, and I will be going to the Mikvah (ritual bath) this November.

Life for me felt like I have been in limbo since I took the IBLCE exam, and finally it's all coming back together, we find out about our results in 10 days...October 28th!

I had my interview for a PRN Lactation Consultant position last Thursday, I have worked my butt off since I took this exam to really show my colleagues that I am made to be there. I have kept good relationships with my mentors, and I think all I really have to depend on to get this job is by passing my exam. I also got offered a position in Childbirth Education at Sibley to teach the prenatal breastfeeding class. Sunday I taught at the Ritz Carlton for our Childbirth Educ. Spa weekend. Loved it! And it was my first time teaching, this will be such a great little added extra to my week.

Amazing view from the 24th floor


yummy dessert bar






I would love to be able to afford to travel and stay in amazing places that offer food included :)

It was luxurious while it lasted
