Today I'm sharing with you our zero waste plans for 2019 (Feb, Mar & April).Caring for the environment is an important value in our family, and an important value in Judaism! We love to honour G-D by caring for our environment. Are you interested in living a more environmentally sustainable life? Let me know in the comments what you're doing to help out!*****************Hey, I’m Talia!I am converting to Orthodox Judaism with my husband and three young children. On this channel I share my thoughts on the Hebrew months, converting to Judaism, celebrating Jewish holidays, and vlogs on our everyday life!*************CONTACT TALIA:Insta: @taliacarbisemail: talia (@) carbis.com.aublog: http://climbingtree.blogFAQ:Q: What religion are you converting from and how did you decide to convert to Judaism?A: My husband and I were raised in Christian homes. We began to question the traditions we were raised with (2008) not long after we were married and then took further steps to raise our children with an awareness of Judaism and it’s significance when our first son was born (2012). It wasn’t until our youngest was born (2016) that we started to understand what it meant to be a Noahide, and in 2017 we moved to a new city close to a synagogue and in 2018 we started our official conversion to Orthodox Judaism.Q: When do you expect to finish your conversion?A: We started lessons in June 2018, so we expect to finish towards the end of 2019, perhaps even 2020 if there’s things we’re really stuck on!

One Little Word 2018 - Summary The Climbing Tree 2019-01-11 | At the very start of 2018 I decided on a whim to do the One Little Word Project with Ali Edwards. I had seen a friend do it a few years in a row and it seemed beautiful (but a little daunting keeping up with something for a whole year!). Well, of all the 3 or 4 year long commitments I made at the start of 2019 this has been the only one that I actually finished!It's been a great experience, and one I whole heartedly recommend to everyone!You can view some process videos over on my art channel: youtube.com/channel/UCsY_6PzjR09MsbT0RwXP84Q?view_as=subscriber

Mama Grief As Your Child Starts School The Climbing Tree 2018-12-16 | Lots of my mama friends have their eldest kids starting school soon after the Summer holidays (kids start school at the end of January here in Australia), and I've had many conversations with them about the mama grief we experience as we send our children off to school for the first time! Even though this January will be my second child going off the school, the grief, guilt, and over-thinking has me once again!It's okay to feel like this, and hopefully me talking about this today will help you know you're totally normal if you're also going through these feelings in the lead up to your child starting school.
