The Case of the Missing Blog | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: sherrynorth The Case of the Missing Blog
A few of you have written to ask what happened to my blog the past couple of weeks. So it's time I confess... I've been taking a break. I promised myself I would try to spend more time with my kids this summer, while still working as a journalist and writing children's books. All moms know the phrase, "Something's gotta give." For me, that "something" ended up being my weekly blog posts. I want...read more...Come Meet Me at Story Time! | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: sherrynorth Come Meet Me at Story Time!

The folder full of incident reports about our 4-year-old daughter was getting fat. She gave a classmate a bloody nose, spit at a teacher, tore decorations off the classroom walls and crumpled up a teacher’s paperwork. She can also be incredibly sweet and loving and will be the first one to check on you if you are hurt or sick. But when she gets angry, watch out! We thought we had tried everything...read more...The Secret Letter In My Nightstand | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: sherrynorth The Secret Letter In My Nightstand
There’s a secret letter in my nightstand. Until now, no one knew about it except me. It’s addressed to my husband but also includes messages for my kids, my parents, my brother and sister. This is the letter that tells everyone how much I love them, how grateful I am for every minute we’ve had together. I keep it there for those times when I travel without my family – just in case. ...read more...Should We Have Mother’s Day? | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: sherrynorth Should We Have Mother’s Day?
“I don’t believe in Mother’s Day.” That’s what my mom told me when I was growing up. She said we didn’t need a special holiday to appreciate her – we could do that any day. It made sense at the time. But now that I’m a mom myself, I have to say I love Mother’s Day. This year was the best one yet. My 6-year-old announced that I would be having breakfast in bed....read more...Exercise for Princesses | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: sherrynorth Exercise for Princesses
Do you have a little princess who loves to dress up and throw tea parties, but is not so eager to work up a sweat? With childhood obesity reaching frightening levels, it’s crucial to get our daughters moving. But how do you motivate girls who are not interested in sports? Recently, I’ve come across a few princess-themed activities that just might tempt your royal highness off her hind... North...read more...Pierced Ears: How Young Is Too Young? | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: sherrynorth Pierced Ears: How Young Is Too Young?
My 4-year-old daughter is begging to have her ears pierced. I rarely wear earrings, so I think she got the idea from her preschool classmates. Some of the girls have had pierced ears since they were babies. I thought I would easily deflect Jonna’s request by describing exactly how ears get pierced. But it turns out blood and needles are no match for a 4-year-old’s determination. ...read more...Dancing Dads on YouTube: Check It Out! | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: sherrynorth Dancing Dads on YouTube: Check It Out!

It’s the first time I’ve made anything for YouTube, so I’d love to hear what you think. If it makes you smile, feel free to share the link with anyone who might enjoy it:...read more...Airline to Charge for Toilet Use | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: sherrynorth Airline to Charge for Toilet Use
Get ready to hold it. At least one airline is planning a toilet surcharge for passengers who can’t resist nature’s call. Seriously. I originally planned to write this post as a joke. I read about Spirit Air charging for carry-on baggage and thought, What’s next? Charge people for using the toilet? After all, Spirit’s justification is that they only charge passengers for services they use....read more...Who Took the Urgency Out of Emergency? | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: sherrynorth Who Took the Urgency Out of Emergency?
Last week I blogged about my husband’s emergency appendectomy. So how did the Emergency Room handle this relatively routine case? I’m sorry to say, about as well as a turtle crossing I-95. When we arrived at the Broward hospital which shall remain nameless, it was early on a Saturday morning. No one else was there, and the staff got Chris into a bed right away. They checked his vitals, covered him...read more...
