Christmas is coming up on Monday. As a household that celebrates both Chanukah (which was earlier this month) and Christmas, we have tons of traditions. And we also try to keep stress levels to a minimum. Our tree went up the first Saturday of December and for eight days, we had both the tree and our electric menorah in the living room. We also made two batches of holiday cookies, with the first being menorahs and gingerbread people and the second, candy canes, Christmas trees and MORE gingerbread people. The cookies are made with oats and sweetened with applesauce. We DO eat added sugar – those cookies come from stores (LOL)…

And before I forget, here’s my latest Cynthia Talks Life episode!!

]]> Another new episode! I skipped July (got that break I deserved – LOL), but back at it this month. I’ll be churning new ones every month or so until December, but would probably take January off. I haven’t really decided if I’m going to do “seasons,” but if I do, February will mark the beginning of Season 3! Anyway, here goes:

Jr. Mintz was in his last week of camp while the episode was being recorded, but he’s done now. We’re taking the rest of the month off before school starts in September. This month, I’m talking about (once again), food-related issues (I’ll go into more detail about my problem with the so-called “anti-diet” philosophy…or at least the term…in a future episode) as well as other things. Let me know what you think!!!

For those of you celebrating Father’s Day, what are you doing? Barbecue? Lunch or dinner out? What about this summer? What are your plans? How many of you are sending your kids to camp?

Just an update with what’s going on with me and the Cheng Mintz family! We’re looking forward to a fun Mother’s Day weekend, which will include going to a buffet brunch for the first time since 2019. And it’ll be the first Jr. Mintz will remember. And not to mention, eat at.

This was dropped over a week ago. I’ve also realized that I never post show notes on the blog version, so I’ll start doing so for this episode:

Cynthia talks about looking forward to going to her first in-person Seder since the Before Times and a rant about diversity, identity and feeling shamed about being who she is.

]]> New episode live now!! Yes, we made our big, triumphant return, and with Jr. Mintz in tow as well! We had an amazing time! He sat through a full three course meal as well. It was a great opportunity to work on table manners and now that we’re going to restaurants more often, we’re going to get even more!

Can YOUR kids sit through a 75 minute, three course dinner at age four? I don’t think I would have made it back in the day…hahaha…
