Hits of the Week from Kveller: Dec 3 -7

This week’s most popular posts from Raising Kvell, in case you missed them.

– Why Do I Lie to Pregnant Women? One mom admits that she’s not very honest about the challenges of going from one kid to two.

– Nutella-Filled Hanukkah Beignets. Nothing says ‘holiday of lights’ like a fried nutella-filled pocket of sweet dough. Just trust us on this one (and enjoy this recipe).

Can we ask?

It's important to us to keep the warm, joyfully Jewish community on Kveller accessible for all. Reader donations help us do just that. Can you spare a few to keep Kveller free? (We'll love you forever.)

– How My Toddler’s Adjusting to Life With Two. It’s never easy keeping a 2-year-old happy. Now add an infant. Oy.
