A Swimtastic Toddler Achievement! | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: aimeeheller A Swimtastic Toddler Achievement!
My daughter can swim! Thank you Y and all the thousands of people who made this possible. From her very patient swim coaches to the 4 year old who was doing the flip dives off the wall. The 4 year old being the most instrumental in my daughter going from sink to swim. As was her friend Chloe. Chloe was showing off her swimming and then my daughter wanted to do it too. If Penelope were invited to a...read more...The Single Mom Does Disney Differently - adding Grandma. | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: aimeeheller The Single Mom Does Disney Differently - adding Grandma.
I had the unusual opportunity to write a sequel for my Disney trip. The original entry was about the trip I made to Orlando as a single mom – just me and my daughter. This past weekend I had a chance to experience a similar trip but adding my mom to the mix. But before you think my daughter is super spoiled or I can't get enough of driving up and down the state of Florida and its scrub brush...read more...Fashion (Non) Sense | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: aimeeheller Fashion (Non) Sense
I'm sorry dear daughter, the way you dress is not that great. I let you dress yourself and it shows. However, I can’t care that much when I see how proudly you wear that Dora shirt for the umpteenth time. However, what I'm not sure of is how to guide the fashion sense process. I grew up in the day of Garanimals . I am now dependent on others telling me what to wear and how to wear it. For...read more...Silly Bandz are not so Silly (or How $6 Can Save you Thousands) | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: aimeeheller Silly Bandz are not so Silly (or How $6 Can Save you Thousands)
A mommy friend of mine and I were talking about the Silly Bandz I bought my daughter. “You know,” she said, “those cost 2 cents to make.” I hadn’t really thought about this before but it made no difference to me. $2 or $6, with a company making a 2000% or 200,000% profit, Silly Bandz have done wonders for my 3-year olds self-esteem. As I see it, the $6 I spent for two-dozen of them may...read more...Independence Day Came Early this Year | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: aimeeheller Independence Day Came Early this Year
I went on a three-day business trip. Not long for mommy, but long for a three year old. That’s what the experts say anyway. Did my daughter miss me? Not enough to stop watching Arthur and meet me upon my return. Come sit with me and watch Arthur, mommy she said. But first can you get me water. With ice. Meaning mommy, go back downstairs for a couple of minutes and then come back. ...read more...Balancing Work and Life | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: aimeeheller Balancing Work and Life
I'm on a single mom roll. This week my challenge was the work-life balance. Last week I had a big meeting to prepare for, and now I go to San Diego tomorrow for a conference. So I missed time with my daughter to make PowerPoint slides and now I will miss time with her to learn about MBA programs. It's my first time away from her. But, I consider myself lucky. At least I love my job. Not...read more...The Single Mom Does Disney | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: aimeeheller The Single Mom Does Disney
I’m back. I took my 3-year old to Disney World by myself and...it wasn’t terrible. I feel much worse for those uptight mommies who were trying to take photos of their kids with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. My child was in the backgorund of many of their well-composed shots. Sometimes in the foreground too. The way to do Disney as a single mom is to just say…whatever. If it gets...read more...Exploiting my Baby for Personal Gain | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: aimeeheller Exploiting my Baby for Personal Gain
It’s so easy to write about my child, her mistakes, her poops, her ballet, but does she want me to do it? Does she want what I have to say out there, unable to ever be taken back? This is a question I constantly wrestle with every time I start a blog. There’s just so much humor in the things she does and, as a writer, I sure want to write. But, as a concerned protective mother, I want to protect....read more...Babies: Sex and the City Style | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: aimeeheller Babies: Sex and the City Style
I could’ve bought a dog but I had to have a baby. The ultimate status symbol. An accessory higher on the food chain than the Louis Vuitton Damier Duomo handbag or even the Gucci baby carrier. (cute with or without a baby) A real baby screams that I'm worth at least $190,000 - the number that the U.S. Department of Agriculture says that I need to raise her to “normal." Which is...read more...One More Reason I Can't Brag About My Daughter | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: aimeeheller One More Reason I Can't Brag About My Daughter
My daughter is 3 and already a failure in so many ways. I happened to watch a tiny snippet of The Ellen DeGeneres Show the other day and there was a 13-year old playing Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi . You can see his performance here. Ellen said he was a prodigy. But rather than be happy for him, I went to that bad competitive place: 1. This boy is 13. He has a whole 10 years on my daughter. 2. He’s...read more...
