Can you teach gratitude? | Moms Miami Can you teach gratitude?
Thanksgiving is about more than turkey. It's about family and gratitude. Yet, over the years I've found that while gathering the family together is easy, instilling the latter is no walk in the park, particularly in these times of entitlement. But I just read some tips by Stacey Boyd, CEO of Savvy Source, that are worth sharing: 1. Gratitude is an attitude. It’s a choice, a decision each...read more...Grab a dark chocolate bar -- now! | Moms Miami Grab a dark chocolate bar -- now!
Chocolaholics, rejoice. A new study has found that people who rated themselves highly stressed to begin with had lower levels of stress hormones after eating chocolate every day for two weeks. And they munched on my favorite kind -- dark chocolate. The scientists, led by Sunil Kochhar of the Nestle Research Center in Switzerland, found lower levels of the stress hormones cortisol and catecholamines in the...read more...Dreaming of Cinderella for that rock on your finger? | Moms Miami Dreaming of Cinderella for that rock on your finger?
There's no accounting for taste, but I know what I like and I'll stick to it. In other words, I would turn up my nose at an engagement ring that was inspired by a Disney character. But apparently there's a market for such stuff. An industry journal reports that Disney and Krisite Kelley have debuted a line of six engagement rings with matching wedding bands that correspond to six Disney heroines, Cinderella, Snow...read more...More than a crime | Moms Miami More than a crime
Can you imagine being the parent of the teenager who was doused with alcohol and set on fire? Horrible. But it's got to be nearly as horrifying to be the parent of one of the five teens who stands accused of doing it. What would possess a young man to seek revenge in such a heinous way? Some of my friends say that as this story progresses we'll find out enough about the home life of these boys to figure out why they're...read more...Halloween is no longer for kids | Moms Miami Halloween is no longer for kids
Trick of treat? Sure, but only if you're a grownup. I've been getting catalogs for costume shops in my mailbox for the past few days. Most of the pages are filled with costumes for adults. A couple of pages are devoted to children. Is this another sign of commercialism taking over? read more...A renewed appreciation for staying healthy | Moms Miami A renewed appreciation for staying healthy
My mother always used to say that health was the greatest wealth. Of course, when you're healthy, you don't pay much attention to such words. For the past two months, though, I've thought plenty about the idea. I've been in physical therapy since recovering from shoulder surgery -- a minor procedure, really, in the grand scheme of illnesses. Yet, I've been surprised how something like this can change your life....read more...Tummy time | Moms Miami Tummy time
One of the benefits of being a grandparent is the fact that you become privy to the new set of parenting rules. One of them is doctors' orders to have babies sleeping on their backs instead of on their tummy. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended the change in the 1990s to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It worked: the rate of SIDS has dropped by about 50 percent. But the good news comes with a price....read more...Spare the rod | Moms Miami Spare the rod
Plenty of my generation grew up with parents who thought sparing the rod meant spoiling the child. In fact, that's an ingrained value in some societies. Now a study says that smacking kids when they're very young can make them more agressive.

Every time I sent a kid off into the world, I worried if I had taught him (or her, in the case of my daughter) what he needed to know. It went beyond study skills for college. Would he know how to behave in certain social situations? Had he learned enough about personal cleanliness, vitamins and eating right? Well, now we've got a primer. Check this story out. It's amazing. I wish I had something like this before for my...read more...When a man cheats | Moms Miami When a man cheats
How would you react if you discovered your husband was having an affair? What would you do if it became VERY public and everyone you knew had front-row seats to your pain? We've seen the drama of heartache play out various times in the past couple of years with wives of elected officials. Think of the Mrs.(s) Spitzer, Clinton, Edwards, etc. Unfortunately I've also watched this heartache closer to home, with a couple of...read more...
