Tamar Marvin: This is my favorite journey. חג כשר ושמח!
Tamar Marvin: Putting these guys away which means....30 DAYS TILL PESACH. Where all my Pesach nerds at?? I know, I know, it's a lot of patchke but ZMAN CHERUTEINU. Almost time to set out on the journey of our lives.
Tamar Marvin: I have some new Minions fans in the house, so I put this up to make them smile. I kinda think this is deep, though. Hear me out. One of the wonders of raising children is seeing how they find and express their own happiness. It feels like a sacred process
Tamar Marvin: The graphic design of my heart 🔆 #vintageisrael #ישראלשלפעם
Tamar Marvin: Happy birthday, trees! 🌳❤️ #tubishvat
Tamar Marvin: Unreal (but actually completely real) sunset + kids on a dune.
Tamar Marvin: New wine fountain joins the family. (Thanks to my mom!) We are obsessed with wine fountain kiddush. The old set had a broken foot and a broken cup. We literally loved it to pieces. I brought it to jazz up Shabbat when the kids were little and now it's req
Tamar Marvin: Just choc chip banana bread. 🍌 Most of the week I'm in my head, in an abstract and intellectual space (which I love). But on Fridays, it's all dough and fried onions and lemons, everything tactile and olfactory. When I have the spare 15 minutes, I
Tamar Marvin: Teen scarf progress. Against my better judgement I am knitting plain vanilla stockinette stripes, because give your people what they want. I'll just block the living daylights out of it, eh? Very proud for not casting on a second project but this may not
Tamar Marvin: Quilt planning with cat. #catsofinstagram #catsonquilts #quiltplanning
Tamar Marvin: One of my all-time favorites. This one is for when I need to lift up my eyes and look forward with hope. Thought I would share it with you. Swipe for English ➡️ #Tanach #Neviim #growth
Tamar Marvin: Happy to report that my teen still likes my knitting. We picked out the pattern and yarn together. I'm making him a matching scarf next. ❤️ #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #handmadehat #knitforkids
Tamar Marvin: Kids meet snow. ❄️ I had to explain that snow is not fluffy and is, in fact, being a form of water, wet. Related: I still do not miss weather.
Tamar Marvin: So my sufganiyot technique needs work (family confirmed they are all for doughnut taste testing until I nail it - "Ima, sufganiyot don't *have* to be only on Chanukah, right?") - but I got high marks for my sugar cookies.
Tamar Marvin: I am the owner of kawaii sufganiyot socks. This makes me inordinately happy. Related: I am making three kinds of sufganiyot today (in my theme socks, of course). #chanukah #hannukah #jewishkawaii #cutesocks #sufganiyot
Tamar Marvin: Tradition. #chanukah (aka #hanukkah )
Tamar Marvin: The good news is, 5782 me cleaned all the chanukiyot meticulously. The bad news, past me inexplicably did *not* buy extra candles which she *always* does. ‍♀️ We'll get it right next year BH. חג אורים שמח
Tamar Marvin: Things that accompany me (as I drink in Torah and pour out words through my magic electric box) (it's the bulletin board over my computer where I sit all day)
Tamar Marvin: It's a tea-lemon-old-books kinda day. (My favorite kind.)
Tamar Marvin: My 10-year-old drew this. It is based on a video game and tells the entire storyline using sequential art techniques. He conceptualized, sketched, inked, and colored it. This is my soapbox: let kids do what they love and they will make amazing things. Als
Tamar Marvin: Books from my husband's childhood gifted to my kiddos. Do they look vintage or WHAT. Pretty sure at least one has been banned (not PC eesh). #itcamefromthe80s #itcanefromthe90s #graphicdesign #imvintagenow
Tamar Marvin: With all the kiddos in the double digits 😳 it was time for a playroom redo. So I made it into a lounge/art/craft/homework space (there's a big table to the right not in the pic). With library vibes, natch. Swipe to for a closer view of the Judaica
Tamar Marvin: I'm digging pretty deep into minimalism these days. I've offloaded most of my kitchen gadgets, any clothes/shoes that I don't need/use often/ absolutely love, a ton of books. Highly recommend. Meanwhile, big kiddo is a collector. He's reached maximum tcho
Tamar Marvin: I have to say I enjoy early fall in New England a lot more when I get to jet off to SoCal before winter sets in. I even felt a nip this morning and instead of dread there was...nostalgia? Goodbye Birkshires, goodbye Bronx, and most of all, goodbye, dear f
Tamar Marvin: We are retreat-ing this week, gathering together new and returning yeshiva students for in-person learning and davening and just sharing space. I'm a person who tends to think positively about technology. I think we can and should harness it to create bet
Tamar Marvin: Hi! Bit of a life update: I spend *a lot* of time in this spot these days. My creativity gets poured out, in words, over the keyboard. My learning takes place on the storied rectangles of Zoom (with very real, extra wonderful colleagues and teachers behin

Tamar Marvin: 21 Shevat 5779. Old-new things. I wish I could fast-forward through this stressful week to next erev shabbat, when things ease up a bit & I can slow down. And enjoy some A+ vintage typography. And show these kids how to put the electricity in these electr

Tamar Marvin: 18 Shevat 5779 (okay, all caught up now). Went on a bit of a decluttering bender this week. (Well, ongoing, I'm not done yet.) I used to be precious about books but I'm pretty ruthless these days. Anyone else get a high from minimalism? I get giddy gettin
