Better titles for a blog

I'm thinking Adventures in Mama-Land is kind of lame... but is there any title that could appropriately capture in relatively few words exactly what it is that I do here?
I'm so bad at titles; when I write an article, the title is always the hardest part - and then every single editor changes the title!  I always ask myself why I'm even bothering to create a title, but an article (or story) looks naked without one.
 
I could probably just use the words "UHU Paste:  Pros and Cons" at the top of every article I submit, just to give the editors something to change.  They always like the text okay, but no editor has ever kept my own title.
 
So - here's a list of titles for this blog that would be way cooler:
  • Lasagna Night
  • Mama Rant
  • Adventures in Mama-Land (Elisheva's suggestion)
  • Unimaginable Violence (a reference to this cartoon, which I find hilarious, while nobody else does)
  • H.M.S. SinkyTown (a reference to this cartoon, which is STILL my desktop wallpaper after 5 months:  I love it to BITS; it is my life in a nutshell!)
  • All the Boats Leak
  • Green Sleeves
If it was JUST a Judaism / religion / spirituality blog, I would definitely go with "all the boats leak," which I think I got from a Conservative rabbi somewhere along the line.

    Well, I personally find the unimaginable violence cartoon hysterically funny. It's right up there with the Rowan Atkinson headmaster sketch ("well, perhaps he'd have been a better student if you had administered a few more fatal beatings!"). But I think that taken out of context it would be a weird title for your blog.

    I think I'd go with HMS sinkytown. Cute, and maybe you can put the cartoon in your banner somehow?

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
