A Kinder, Gentler Valentine's Day | Moms Miami A Kinder, Gentler Valentine's Day
I clearly remember Valentine's Day when I was in Kindergarten. I arrived at school breathless with anticipation about who might give me one of those treasured red or pink hearts. Would it be Jerry? I had my eye on that blondie, because Sherry and Jerry would just be so cute together. Or maybe Jessica -- the girl I hoped would become my BFF? Sure, there was the potential for hurt feelings, but it was all so exciting....read more...Phone In Your Blog! | Moms Miami Phone In Your Blog!
I’m zipping down 95 right now. But don’t worry – I’m not texting and driving. I actually found a way to phone in my blog. I’ll tell you how in just a minute. But first, let’s talk about why I would want to do that. I always write my blog on Monday so it can post on Tuesday morning. Today I had a lot of errands to run. I was driving across two counties and just had no time...read more...When Your Child Has No Baby Photos | Moms Miami When Your Child Has No Baby Photos
My daughter stood staring at the multitude of pictures of her and her brother that line my desk. She pointed to one of me holding a newborn. “Who dat?” she asked. “That’s Julian,” I answered, “when he was a baby.” “Where me a baby?” she asked. It was heartbreaking to tell her there are no baby photos of her. ...read more...Why I Ran Over My Cell Phone | Moms Miami Why I Ran Over My Cell Phone
So there was my cell phone, lying on the cold concrete floor – just behind the left front tire of my Kia Sephia. I fired up the engine, put the car in reverse and backed right over that poor old Nokia, not even noticing a bump or a crunch. Why would I do such a thing? I can think of lots of reasons… I received one too many text messages (on my dime) promising me a lower mortgage rate....read more...Kitchen Makeover (Photos & Tips!) | Moms Miami Kitchen Makeover (Photos & Tips!)
My “before” kitchen probably looks familiar to most of you. I think 80 percent of South Florida homes were bestowed with this style during the 1980’s. The stark white laminate with wooden trim isn’t just homely – it’s impractical. Tea, tomato sauce and red wine practically mapped out our family’s eating habits on our old countertops. We’d been saving up for a new...read more...The One Resolution Most Moms Break | Moms Miami The One Resolution Most Moms Break
If you’re like me, you don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions, but you make a couple of them anyway. At the top of the list is one goal that would have immeasurable benefits – both for yourself and your family. You manage to keep it up for a week or two, but as the day-to-day demands of life hijack your schedule, your good intentions get left in the dust. I’m talking about spending...read more...Why Some Jews Celebrate Christmas | Moms Miami Why Some Jews Celebrate Christmas
The year was 1979. Two good little Jewish girls were growing up in South Florida. One day they walked home from school, their cheeks pink with excitement over the project they had made in art class. "Look, Mommy," the younger sister said. (She was five.) "We colored these stockings at school!" "Let's hang them up!" the older sister said. (She was six -- and she was me.) "Our...read more...5 Vacation Goofs | Moms Miami 5 Vacation Goofs
If you're taking the kids on the road for the holidays, you might be wondering if there's any secret to a smooth trip. I haven't figured that one out yet, but I can share a few things that don't help. We just got back from visiting friends in Tennessee. Overall, we had a blast -- and it was a pretty easy trip. But things could have gone even more smoothly with better planning (and a dose of common sense.) Based...read more...Coed Bathrooms? | Moms Miami Coed Bathrooms?
If you ever watched Ally McBeal, you might remember the law firm's coed bathroom. Men and women used stalls right next to each other and then made chit-chat while washing their hands. I didn't like the idea much, and I never thought I'd have to try it out. Cut to 2009. I'm having lunch with a friend at a restaurant that shall remain nameless (a French bakery at Sawgrass Mills...) I need to use the ladies' room,...read more...Holiday Shopping vs. the Dentist | Moms Miami Holiday Shopping vs. the Dentist
Option one: Circle the parking lot for hours until you finally get a spot 10 city blocks from the mall. Once inside, fight the masses to reach the toy store and claim the very last Special Edition Triangular Bakugan, just to have a wild-eyed dad grab it from your hands. -OR- Option Two: Pull into a nice, shady spot right in front of the dentist’s office. Spend 15 minutes reading a book...read more...
