Adapting to the Holidays as a Married Couple

Our neighborhood held trick-or-treating last night to avoid going out on the Sabbath, and my kids had a ton of fun dressing up and heading out to collect their loot. I took them around, and my husband stayed home to hand out candy to those who came to our house. This is very representative of our personality styles. I’m the one who likes to go out and do things. I can more comfortably navigate my way through social circumstances, and because I’m the “mean” parent, I can herd four overly excited children up and down the street. My husband likes … Continue reading →

Cruises Getting Healthy? When Were They Not?

Posted on by

My husband and I were married on a cruise. It was a fantastic all-inclusive getaway. I remember that the biggest attraction for certain Baby Boomers in our party was the 24-hour food service.

They’re hoping to lure health-conscious baby boomers (not my parents) and others who … Continue reading →

Well, I have to appreciate their candor—my son is the last to go through this stage of my three children and my older girls have moved through it and are into going to lunch, shopping or to a ballet with me again. My son, however, would rather be caught dead than caught out and about with him mom… A few years ago when my eldest started down this teenage path I actually got my feelings hurt! It took some time for me to gain perspective and it wasn’t until my second daughter “rejected” me that I was able to get … Continue reading →

Dad’s Losing It: On The Road

Posted on by

I am traveling on business today. I am in Memphis to visit my client and launch a new service. The time away from home gives me time to catch up on sleep and offers the chance to eat a multi-course upscale dinner, on the company’s dime (which always tastes good!) Before I left town, my family of four spent Sunday afternoon and early evening in Philadelphia, walking for nearly three hours along Kelly Drive. This picturesque stretch of waterfront is named for famous former resident Grace Kelly and takes visitors along The Art Museum, Waterworks complex and historic Boathouse row. … Continue reading →
