Raise your hand if you agree….today’s school plays (at least in Westchester that “high-achieving” area) is all about kids who take acting lessons getting the lead parts in the school play—we’re talking the middle school level while kids (like mine!!) are relegated (every year!) to chorus or other non-speaking parts. My daughter is now quitting—just [...]

Everyone in my family is sick—always happens this time of year when it’s one temperature outside but a whole other climate inside. The other day it was warmer outside than in my office, where, most of us were tying wearing our coats. Today it’s hot as … well, you know where.

Same with my kids’ school—it’s [...]

We all know life isn’t fair. So accept that before you read on.

How you look equates to how you may be treated at the office.

According to a study by Yale psychologist Marianne LaFrance women with medium-length hair was equated with communicating “intelligence” at the workplace. Hair which was too long and sexy made women look [...]

I love Halloween. I love seeing the kids in their costumes and the creativity of little minds. But here’s the one thing I hate: all the leftover candy. Which is why I love the idea two Harrison doctors had: to collect candy and send it overseas to troops in Iraq who can share it with [...]

Which can be dangerous. Especially with the upcoming holiday season, and the array of gifts they’re sure [...]

How do you fight with your spouse? Arguing is an inevitable part of married life. And according to a recent sudy, the way you fight can affect your health. Lucky for me, I’m outspoken and honest (though I’m careful to couch my words) because apparently, those that keep their feelings bottled up are more likely [...]

Anyone see the recent issue of U.S. News & World Report that says more moms are finding smart ways to blend work and family? I kindof “borrowed” mine from my doctor’s office (one reason I haven’t been blogging: forgive me—hurt my back and been a bit under the weather).
