It was a lovely thing to say. I'm a lucky woman. And I think it is lovely that you want to help your partner maintain his Jewish identity and pass it on to your kids. :)

It depends. I used to think being a Christian was kind of a dealbreaker for me, and then I met my goes-to-mass-weekly Catholic husband. We both want kids, and (up until his recent crisis of faith) we both agreed the kids could be baptized. (I was raised in a Pagan household. Magic water on a baby's forehead can…

Republican is a total dealbreaker.

I grew up in the Bible-belt, and I was raised in an agnostic Pagan family. Over time, my own religious identity changed configurations a few times, and at times I identified more with atheism. During those times, I thought my dealbreaker was being with someone religious, especially Abrahamic religions. Then I met…

What is in a non-virgin Shirley Temple? I thought the point of the drink was that it was virgin.

You win. The pine tree scent is what's killing me.

A) That is ridiculous. I thought I was mad that at my own wedding the servers kept whisking away my full glass of wine every time I turned my head. But to do that at a cash bar? Terrible. B) I assume Butterfly Kisses was the father-daughter dance. If I hear that song one more time at a wedding, my eyes might get…

Thanks! :)

It didn't feel like a mixed message. It felt like my parents trusted me to know the truth about life, and they…

Generation Omega, am I right? None of them pay for their own space cars.

Solution: Set all of your daughter's Frozen merch on fire in the driveway.

Oh, okay, I know skorts. Terrible, terrible things.

CANNOT. STOP. WATCHING.

That movie is so good.

McLendon-Covey is hilarious, and I would love to see her in more movies. Can I also just say, as pretty as she is on-screen, it totally does not do her justice. I have seen her in-person, and she is like a freaking angel. She really is more beautiful than Cinderella with a face like sunshine.

Not Dumbledores?! I haven't gotten there yet, but I hope it is as long as his beard. (That's what she said.)

Because she is a true artist. You see, she is challenging us to question even our most basic assumptions.
