EDITOR

NOTE

FROM THE EDITOR It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year when your to-do list is more than one page.

It’s my hope you can stop and enjoy a few moments of fun with your family this month, before the busyness of the holiday is thrust upon you.

This month, we’ve also included a special article on “Booing”. It’s a fun, creative opportunity to interact with your neighbors and friends.

After all, who wouldn’t love getting an unexpected basket of treats on their doorstep?

October is such a great month when you have kids. For most of us, we’ll make more than a few trips to find the perfect costume, and purchase more than enough candy for Halloween. In the spirit of the holiday, we have included some great articles and recipes for treats to ensure that both kids and adults enjoy this year’s festivities.

This month’s issue of The Grand Season’s Family is full of fun ideas for you to connect with your children, spouse and friends. Thank you for your support of our publication and the businesses who advertise with us!

LIFE

PLAYTIME Improve your health and relationships As adults, we play lip service to seeing the world through kids’ curious, unjaded eyes.

And it’s true, that view is lovely. But even better in our opinion is that being with children also means you actually get to be a kid sometimes!

If you need a reminder of how ridiculously fun (and just ridiculous) parenting and grandparenting can be, here are some reasons why hanging out with kids is a blast.

Riding carousels.

Trick or treating at Halloween, and the vicarious thrill of wondering who will open the door and what kind of candy they will offer.

Sliding down the fireman pole at the playground.

Catching snippets of the teen shows the kids are watching in the other room and laughing more than you ever do at grown-up sitcoms.

Bouncy castles.

Sucking the helium out of balloons and then singing “Happy Birthday” in your leprechaun voice.

Jumping on a trampoline.

Skipping!

Lacing up roller skates for the first time in 20 years and realizing, once you’re out in the rink, that you’ve still got it.

Having an excuse to see all the latest animated kids movies.

Family sing-alongs in the car, windows down, headed home from dinner.

Finger painting.

Chuckling at your ignorance of today’s slang—who knew “jello” or “jelly” means “jealous”?

Buying Maroon 5 songs on iTunes “for your kids.”

Slip’N Slides.

Jumping in leaf piles and picking tiny twigs out of your hair the rest of the day.

Spending way too much money at a video arcade.

Swinging at the playground, looking up at the sky.

Bowling with the bumpers up.

Living-room dance parties. Children don’t care that you have no rhythm.

Blowing and popping bubbles. Save some for the kids!

Playing backyard baseball.

Jumping rope.

Scootering, skateboarding and RipStik riding.

Playing dress up with all the clothes in your closet.

YOU

FRESH PERSPECTIVE A new approach to solve problems

No matter how “together” people may seem, we all feel overwhelmed at times. It doesn’t matter if you’ve just launched a new career, or have been in the same industry for a dozen years, sometimes we will encounter a situation where we find ourselves “stuck.”

Being “stuck,” isn’t a problem, but staying “stuck” is. Research indicates that people are more reluctant to ask for help or advice in a professional setting for fear of losing their credibility. The reality is we all get stuck! So, reaching out for help is a necessity if you want to continue to grow in your career.

When you’re at a professional (or personal) crossroads, and you’re not sure about what to do, here are a few other strategies to try:

10

The Grand Season family

1. Talk to someone who is one chapter ahead of you.

Chances are you have at least one friend or colleague who has also been overwhelmed and yet figured out a solution.

Daniel Gilbert, Ph.D., of Harvard University, advises in his book Stumbling on Happiness, that if we don’t know how to make a decision, we should talk to someone who has just made that decision.

2. Take baby steps.

Look for the smallest step that could have the biggest positive impact or difference. The power is that it focuses us on what we can change—now.

3. Step away.

Take a break. Just when you think you can’t get up from your desk, that’s exactly what you need to do. Remove yourself from the work; it’ll still be there when you return. Go for a walk; being out in nature has been found to have a calming effect. Go to the gym. Meditate for five minutes. The point is to do something you enjoy. You will return to your work feeling refreshed and with a renewed perspective.

KIDS

PARENTING 101 Books you need to read Kick perfection to the curb and embrace the fact that raising kids in the 21st century is a beautiful mess.

Happy parents laugh at themselves, let go of the pursuit of perfection and realize parenting is to be a journey of growth where doing the best they can is good enough. They learn from their kids and discover that all parents have struggles so there’s no point in beating themselves up. These books offer some sage advice for the years before your kids head off to college.

1 Sleepless Nights and Kisses for Breakfast: Reflections on Fatherhood

by Matteo Bussola A designer and cartoonist, Matteo Bussola lives in Italy with his wife, Paola, and three young daughters (ages 8, 4 and 2). In this self-deprecating memoir of fatherhood, Matteo has a gift for making us see the beauty in the ordinary moments of being a parent.

2 Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters

by Erica Komisar This isn’t a book about working versus staying home, but one that makes a case for being present—emotionally and physically—as much as possible during your baby’s first three years. Working mom Erica Komisar, a licensed clinical social worker, encourages a “more is more” philosophy in which you reduce distractions and focus on quality time with your baby. The oxytocin that is produced during mom-baby bonding provides babies with the nurturing they need to be emotionally healthy and happy, and makes moms feel happier, too.

3 Bossypants

by Tina Fey Get ready for a well-deserved laugh as writer, actress and producer Tina Fey faces her most daunting challenge: motherhood. You’ll giggle as Tina attempts to be taken seriously at work, navigate the in-laws and shake off the guilt that comes from feeling bored when you no longer find your child’s jokes funny. “Don’t waste your energy trying to change opinions. Do your thing and don’t care if they like it,” she writes.

4 Raising Happiness: 10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents

by Christine Carter, Ph.D. Christine Carter, Ph.D., draws on her research in sociology and psychology to give actionable do’s and don’ts for raising happier kids. “What makes us truly happy is letting go of our fantasies about the future and engaging in the journey, in the process, and in the present moment,” Christine writes. Discover how to raise kids who have gratitude and are kind, while avoiding the pitfalls of trying to be a perfect parent. www.grandseasonfamily.com

5 Simplicity Parenting: Using the Extraordinary Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids

by Kim John Payne and Lisa M. Ross What if doing less for your kids helped them more? The authors of this road map to a simpler way of parenting are looking back to simpler times when childhood meant plenty of time and space to play. They also suggest reducing unnecessary clutter and scaling back from overscheduling in order to let your kids enjoy their freedom.

6 The 10 Habits of Happy Mothers: Reclaiming Our Passion, Purpose, and Sanity

by Meg Meeker, M.D. “Mothers are expected to do it all: raise superstar kids, look great, make good salaries, keep an immaculate house, be the perfect wife,” writes Meg Meeker, a pediatrician and speaker.

Take a walk away from the pressure and try on a few of the habits listed in this book. Make real friends, she advises, not just acquaintances; spend some time alone to revive once in a while; and do less more often.

TRAVEL

STAYCATION Ways to be a tourist at home

It’s almost time for fall break. Rather than heading out of town, with a little planning, you can get the benefits of a vacation while staying right at home.

1 Get out of the house!

4 Book a guided tour.

2 Travel in style.

5 Venture outside your routine.

Splurge and book a luxury hotel room downtown for the weekend; that’s how you know you’re on vacation.

With frequent airline delays and long security lines, flying is not as fun as it used to be. Why not try something new: See your own city from a fresh perspective. Maybe you’ve lived in a place your whole life but never visited the prime attractions because “they’re for tourists.” If so, it’s time to become a tourist in your own town! You’ll get the same mood-boosting benefits of travel without spending money on flights or dragging your family through overcrowded attractions.

If you live in a driving city, do this right: Ditch the sedan and rent a convertible or sports car.

3 Visit the professionals.

This may sound silly, but have you ever thought about visiting your local tourism office? It’s there for a reason. When looking for fun ideas and destinations, talk to these paid professionals— or at least visit their website.

Take a docent-led architectural, historical or other walking tour to gain a deep, new understanding of your surroundings.

You know that new art museum, gallery, bookstore and restaurant you’ve wanted to try but haven’t had the time? Now is the time.

6 Hit the water.

Go to the lake and book a place to stay while it’s still warm.

7 Find your hidden nature.

There’s a park or nature preserve near you that’s waiting to be discovered. Find it!

8 Toast the town.

Visit a famous old-timey restaurant that serves the “best” and have a blast.

HEALTH

FALL INTO FITNESS Try these tips & give your health a boost.

As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, change is in the air. That’s what makes fall a great time for renewal and fresh starts.

It’s time to fine-tune your health by making one or two small changes that yield big results.

WebMD asked experts their top tips for healthy living this fall.

Here’s what they suggested:

1. Defuse stress with friendship.

Fall is a good time to come back together after the summer scattering of vacations and busy schedules—a great time to relax with friends. The positive emotions will make you feel good, and when joy and stress meet up, the joy wins out.

2. Be tender with your teeth.

If you do one thing to improve your dental health this fall, turn over a new leaf by ditching habits that are hard on your teeth. This means no more chewing on ice or popcorn kernels.

16

The Grand Grand Season Season family family The

5. Warm-up with wine.

3. Have fun with fitness.

Try a less-conventional workout to spruce up your regimen. Take a ballroom dance class or a mind-body workout such as yoga, Pilates, or Tai chi. You’ll be energized and more likely to stick with it.

4. Take an eye exam.

If you do one thing to improve your vision, take a cue from kids, who often need back-to-school vision exams. Schedule a checkup with your eye doctor.

October 2017 2017 October

Diversify your alcohol choice with a room temperature glass of table wine. The warmer drink will take the chill off and the wine, especially red, has heart health benefits.

6. Synchronize your sleep.

Manage the more demanding fall schedules by synchronizing your internal sleep-wake clock to the outside environment. In the morning, get outside within 5 minutes of getting up and expose yourself to bright light for 30 minutes. At night, avoid bright light within two to three hours of bedtime because it might delay your sleep onset. www.grandseasonfamily.com www.grandseasonfamily.com

MONEY

NO REGRET Expenses to skip 1. Trendy Toys

It takes a village to raise a child... and $233,610, according to the latest figures from the Department of Agriculture.

Yeah, kids are expensive, and we realize that’s not new information to any parent. However, young parents might not realize that many expenses are optional, provided that you’re willing to be the Big, Bad Parent that denies certain creature comforts. Here are some items parents regret buying that might save you some money:

A good rule of thumb: If your children want something, wait a month. Those trendy toys won’t be as irresistible when all of the other kids have moved on to a new fad.

2. Playsets What’s more American than a swing set in the backyard or a little log cabin for the kids’ playroom?

Playsets are a classic children’s gift, but they’re also a ridiculous purchase in many households.

3. Computers Your kid wants a brand-new, state-of-the-art computer capable of playing all the latest video games. You might consider dropping a thousand dollars or more for the latest and greatest tech, but that machine will be obsolete within a few years (if your kid doesn’t manage to break it first).

18

The Grand Season family

October 2017

4. Musical Instruments You can get your kids started on music early without buying an instrument. Many schools can hook you up with an instrument rental program. If your school isn’t helpful, hit up the local music store. They’ll also be able to give you some tips on what to buy (or how to rent) for a younger learner.

5. Bicycles Well, new bicycles, anyway. Bikes are expensive, and there’s not a huge advantage to buying them new. With a little elbow grease, you can fix up any old bike so that it looks great. Turns out those brandnew mountain bikes aren’t so great in the first place—just ask any bike repair shop for their opinion on the big box store specials.

6. Big Vacations with Babies Don’t learn this lesson the hard way: Big family vacations can wait. There are few things worse than traveling with an infant, and until your kid is at least potty trained, you probably won’t have a great experience.

BOX OFFICE

A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS November 1st

A Bad Moms Christmas follows our three underappreciated and over-burdened women as they rebel against the challenges and expectations of the Super Bowl for moms: Christmas.

And if creating a more perfect holiday for their families wasn’t hard enough, they have to do all of that while hosting and entertaining their own mothers.

By the end of the journey, our moms will redefine how to make the holidays special for all and discover a closer relationship with their mothers.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

THE JUSTICE LEAGUE November 17th

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy.

Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes— Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

DADDY’S HOME 2

THOR: RAGNAROK

Father and stepfather, Dusty (Mark Wahlberg) and Brad (Will Ferrell) have joined forces to provide their kids with the perfect Christmas.

Their newfound partnership is put to the test when Dusty’s old-school, macho Dad (Mel Gibson) and Brad’s ultra-affectionate and emotional Dad (John Lithgow) arrive just in time to throw the holiday into complete chaos.

Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok—the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization—at the hands of an allpowerful new threat, the ruthless Hela.

But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk!

November 17th August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now.

He’s about to start 5th grade at Beecher Prep, and if you’ve ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie’s just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face.

But can he convince his new classmates that he’s just like them, despite appearances?

DELIGHT

BOO THE ‘HOOD Surprise your neighbors before Halloween

You might not have noticed, but Halloween is just around the corner. If you’re looking for something different to do this year, you might try “booing” your neighbors.

The rules are like a chain letter. To “boo” someone, you sneak onto their doorstep in the dark of night and leave a small bucket of treats for them to discover the next morning. (If you want to “boo” only the grown-ups on the block, there’s a term for that, “boozing.”)

Then, once you’ve been “booed” you put a sign on your door saying, “We’ve been booed,” and then boo two more houses.

22

Booing is becoming a fun Halloween tradition, and one that brings neighbors closer together!

SWEET TREATS

How much candy do you eat?

The average American eats almost 25 pounds of candy every year. About 50% of that candy comes from the 51 chocolate bars that Americans eat every year. Americans spend an average of $8 billion every year on treats. That fact might not help waistlines, but it does create a number of jobs that support the basic needs of a household.

• • • • • • •

More than 34,000 people are employed in the United States because of the candy industry.

Mars Inc. products are the #1 and #2 best selling candy products in the world today: M&Ms and Snickers bars.

4 percent of candy consumption happens on Halloween.

1 in 4 American adults will choose to have at least one piece of candy every day of the week.

It only takes 5 fun-sized candy bars and no other dietary adjustments for someone to gain 1 pound of weight per week.

65% of the American candy brands have been around for more than five decades.

The U.S. ranks no. 1 in the world in terms of the annual retail volume of consumed sugar, chocolate and gum.

LOVE

HOUSE DIVIDED

Are tech distractions hurting your relationship?

Phone + snubbing = phubbing

When your hanging out with your significant other, do you find that you’re often talking to yourself? More often than not, when couples spend time together, research indicates they’re rarely alone.

Whether it’s looking at the latest scores for fantasy football or lurking the halls of Facebook to get glimpses of friends’ pics, moments like these can make our partner feel like we’ve chosen our smartphone over them and it can damage our relationship.

Researchers have recently given this bad behavior a name: Phubbing (phone + snubbing). Phubbing happens when one person checks a phone, in essence snubbing their partner, when they are supposed to be hanging out together. A study by Brandon McDaniel and Sarah Coyne published in the Psychology of Popular Media Culture found that of the women surveyed who were in a romantic relationship, 62 percent of them said phubbing happened to them daily. As many as 1 in 3 said their partner pulled out the phone during meals together, and 25 percent said their loved one sent text messages or emails to other people while they were having a face-to-face conversation.

Break the phone addiction The fallout of these tiny choices in our relationships is real—often leaving the other person feeling insecure that they are boring or frustrated that they are not getting the attention they want. In the study published in the Psychology of Popular Media Culture, 70 percent of participants said that phubbing harmed their ability to interact with their romantic partners.

Marriage and relationship researcher John Gottman, Ph.D., has found that couples with flourishing relationships have a positivity ratio of 5:1, and that a negative event (like being phubbed by your partner, for instance) necessitates five positive interactions to balance it out. Better not to phub in the first place!

Here are a few ideas to break the habit: 1. Establish tech-free times Pick the times of day when everyone has the highest chances of connecting in person, like car rides or dinner times, and make sure the phones are stashed.

2. Ring in the good times

Give the babysitter a special ringtone so you don’t have to check every call. Create a sacred space for date nights by getting the phones off the table. A study from the University of Essex found that having a smartphone on the table during a face-to-face conversation reduces feelings of closeness, trust and relationship quality.

October 2017

3. Tuck it in

Don’t bring your phone to bed with you. Tuck it into its own recharging station away from the bedroom.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”
