A Whole New World
Our home selling, buying and moving saga continues...
Well, we did it...Oh boy did we do it. The giant POD that took 3 weeks to fill was emptied in 4 hours and gone. One 10-yard dumpster has already been filled and the excitement of moving into our new house has been replaced by the shock and awe of the task at hand. Our current status is "overwhelmed".
And now the challenge is the order of things. Take out a wall? Sure, uh, what do we do with these electric wires? Finish the basement? Sure, is there supposed ...

“Please, Daddy, just one more thing!”
Parent Tips from the Calmer Easier Happier Parenting Expert
Macaroni Kid Reader:
My daughter always has to do one more thing’. At bedtime, there's one more thing. When it's time to go to school, there's always one more thing. I give her advance notice, I let her know the plan & schedule, but still, it's always something. Help!
Noël Janis-Norton:
If you’ve got a child who always pleads for ‘one more thing’, it can be pretty exasperating. It sounds like you’re already preparing her for the plan, but she’s still resisting and ...

Fingers Crossed
Ode to the Perfect T-Shirt
The perfect t-shirt search began in my teenage years. Seems a silly predicament but for me, and perhaps you as well, a good T-shirt is the staple of my wardrobe. Over the years, I’ve trekked from store to store hunting the ideal. Mostly, they are too long or too short, too wide or not wide enough. I’ve looked for a soft, supple fabric that will hold its shape, have the right V-shape neckline that’s not too deep, but deep enough to flatter, and comes in the exact ...
A Girl Wiggle? Preposterous!!! Or is it?
A Conversation With the Wiggles!

Macaroni Dad - Emma So you are the yellow wiggle. Does that mean you are replacing Greg?
Emma Wiggle - No one can replace Greg. I’ve been fan since I was 3 years old, so it’s an incredible honor ...

Performance Nutrition for Tackling Stress
"Huddled with my three young children in my bathroom tub, I watched in horror as my husband Bob wrestled with the ferocious winds that pressed against the buckling bathroom door. We gazed into each other’s eyes as though these might be our last moments alive...Throughout the next three years, the pain of being ‘homeless’ ate up my strength, endurance, motivation and appetite."
Hurricane Andrew and its aftermath taught the indomitable Lisa Dorfman the power of good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle to help manage the stress fractures of ...

Fathers Day ~ June 16th? Not in my family!
Since I was a child, I’ve always felt that Father’s Day is an obligatory holiday. Meaning that since we had Mothers Day we HAD to have Father’s Day. Mother’s Day was always more important calendar-wise and who has ever heard of a restaurant offering specials for a Father’s Day Brunch? No spa treatment deals for dad and certainly no Father’s Day bouquets!
The old adage goes that women are nurturers and caregivers while men are providers and protectors. I think that is what society ...
