Dear Reader

This issue we celebrate fathers and fun—we love both!

The endless work of fathering can be overwhelming.

Thankfully, you don’t have to be perfect to be a good parent. That’s the message of local veteran father Sid Garza-Hillman in his “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” (page 10). Read it, and take a deep breath.

Sharon Gowan Publisher/Editor Sharon@family-life.us

Show Pops you appreciate everything he does for the family. Take him to one of the local happenings listed in “Dad’s Day Off” (page 12), and then see our Calendar of Events (page 14) for even more festive ideas.

Father’s Day only lasts so long, though. And then it’s back to the task at hand: entertaining the kids, who are newly free of school and clamoring for something to do. Never fear, our Calendar of Events has something for them, too.

One surefire way to make little ones smile? Take them swimming. Turn to “Pool Party!” (page 15) to find a city pool near you. And then, when hunger hits, check out “Cool Treats for Hot Days” (page 7) for the lowdown on the ultimate summer goodie: ice cream.

May your June be as sweet as your treats. And may your Father’s Day be one to remember.

Summer on a Stick Mexican paletas are frozen bars made from either a water or milk base, and traditionally sold from street carts or small shops called paleterias. Though shaped like the familiar Popsicle, the paleta is much more substantial, often loaded with visible chunks (or even slices) of fruit. And the flavors are like a quick trip to a tropical clime—kiwi, guanabana, cactus, mango, with some peppered with spices like chili and tamarind.

By Ashley Talmadge hen summer temps soar, nothing cools like a frosty goodie.

Sundaes steeped in gooey fudge, delectable Italian gelato, and tropical ice bars—they’re all divine. Even better, these delights can be found in parlors that produce them on-site with fresh ingredients. What’s your fancy?

Good Ole Vanilla and Chocolate On average, people in the United States eat about 20 pounds of ice cream annually, the largest per capita consumption worldwide.

Vanilla and chocolate consistently rank as the top two favorite flavors.

Traditional American ice cream is made with a few simple ingredients— cream, sugar, egg yolks, and a flavoring such as vanilla bean. As it freezes, the mixture is churned at www.mendolakefamilylife.com

Frozen Bliss Frozen yogurt is made from yogurt (and other dairy products) so it’s lower in fat than ice cream. Go to a soft-serve place and doctor it up with toppings galore—crushed Oreo cookies, sprinkles, and M&Ms—for a delicious, (almost) guilt-free indulgence.

An Italian Specialty Gelato, also known as Italian ice cream, is a confection born of the Renaissance. As the story goes, architect Bernardo Buontalenti created the first egg-cream gelato, in Florence in the 1500s. Today, gelato differs from American ice cream in several respects. It is made with milk, rather than cream, which means the June 2018

down a job or a healthy relationship stems from that one unpaid bill.”

Luckily, in most cases, here-and-there screw-ups don’t add up to much.

But with MOTT, it’s not about the one-offs.

The concept of MOTT even applies to one’s diet.

The health of your diet is determined by what you eat most of the time. If you eat junk food and take-out most of the time, with a salad thrown in once a week, your MOTT ain’t the salad. It’s the junk food and take-out, and the health of your body will likely reflect that (unless you’re some sort of freak who runs super well on fries). The salad

our MOTT, your family’s MOTT. It’s the determining factor of your success in both the health and happiness realms. What is a MOTT? Most. Of. The. Time.

Here’s the deal. It’s what you do most of the time that sets your level of health and happiness. Like right now. Right now, how happy you are as a family is based on how you and your children communicate most of the time, how you all eat most of the time, how you all move your bodies most of the time, how you all behave around friends and extended family most of the time.

Think you should be able to pull off a no-mistake, 100-percent–perfection existence, and you’re setting yourself up for failure. Period.

Here is why I’m MOTT’s biggest fan: Because it is completely not about all of the time. It’s about “most.” It’s human, real, doable.

In the back of a parent’s mind is a fear that even a single mistake will land our child in therapy years later.

Thinking in MOTT terms means not sweating the one-offs.

10 MendoLakeFamilyLife

Nobody, and I mean nobody, likes making a mistake. And where children are affected, mistakes kick up to a whole new level. Making a parenting mistake is a very different animal than forgetting to pay the phone bill.

Child to therapist: “This one time my dad forgot to pay the phone bill, and I couldn’t call my friend, and I see now that my inability to hold

Nobody, and I mean nobody, likes making a mistake. doesn’t play a big enough role in your movie to even get an end credit. But if your MOTT is healthy food, with a fast food meal thrown in now and then, the opposite is true. Your MOTT is healthy food, and the one fast food meal ain’t gonna break the bank.

Here’s where it gets even more interesting. The MOTT concept goes for the mind, too. For your happiness. Does your MOTT with your spouse or partner consist of open, respectful communication with an argument once in a while, or of arguments most of the time, with a bouquet of flowers thrown in on Valentine’s Day? Do the math.

The one-offs don’t tip the scales or

Here are the reasons I wish everyone would embrace MOTT:

You don’t beat yourself up over a once-in-a-while mistake if it’s not your MOTT.

If you increase the quality of your food MOTT, you will actually enjoy the special, less-healthy meals even more. As in, you improve the quality of food you eat most of the time, and you’re feeling and looking pretty darn

Because I eat really well most of the time, the seven-layer Taco Bell burrito (no cheese, no sour cream) is a guilt-free indulgence. On the other hand, if said brilliantly crafted burrito were my MOTT, I’d very soon enjoy it a lot less. Oh, and I wouldn’t be nearly as healthy or happy.

The more you think in terms of your MOTT, you quickly notice, without the always charming and supportive inner critic, when your MOTT needs a little tweaking.

All the time you previously wasted feeling bad about periodic flubs is now devoted to bringing up your MOTT. Your focus is on the www.mendolakefamilylife.com

You get perspective. You don’t think your family is going to hell in a handbasket just because you got into a fight with your daughter over some dirty dishes. And you can actually communicate this to your daughter when the argument is over—i.e., communicate the perspective itself (e.g., “Look, this is just one argument, and you’re doing really well overall. I just need you to help out more in this one area.”)

Because your focus is on your MOTT and not the one-offs, you begin to think in terms of patterns. It’s the difference between a businessperson who freaks out

The one-offs don’t tip the scales or break the bank. and makes sweeping changes because of a single bad review versus the person who realizes you can’t please everyone and, as long as most of the reviews are good, then something’s obviously working.

Same for your life—thinking in terms of your MOTT means you also quickly notice when the MOTT itself needs a little tune-up. ¶ Reprinted with permission from Raising Healthy Parents: Small Steps, Less Stress, and a Thriving Family by Sid Garza-Hillman (Roundtree Press, 2018).

“I

could never have dreamt that there were such goings-on in the world between the covers of books,” wrote Dylan Thomas in his “Notes on the Art of Poetry.” Indeed, the great 20th–century Welsh poet’s essay articulates the power of words to express and capture the imagination. If poetry inspires your inner eye, go to the free Poetry Writing Workshop classes at the Fort Bragg Library in Fort Bragg. Learn about various styles of poetry and writing techniques as well as participate in writing exercises.

Classes are held on the second Friday of the month, 2–3:30 p.m.; the next one is on June 8. All ages are welcome. ¶

Humor Break

The Summer Vacation Blues So Many Kids, So Much Time

By Holly Hester

I

t happens every year. I’m at some end-of-the-school-year party and someone will ask me, “So, what are you doing this summer?”

I smile and try to sound excited about the fact that we have nothing planned, and we’re just going to relax and take it easy, but secretly I’m thinking, “OMG, what am I going to do with them all summer? I’m suddenly in charge again? All day? No set place to go? No time to be anywhere? The Fun Plans begin and end with me?” Noooo!

And the question of “What are you doing this summer?” doesn’t end. It will go on and on until the end of summer when the question changes to, “What did you do this summer?” Sometimes I feel like this question is just a way of making conversation and other times it seems very pointed—like summer has become a competition. Once again it’s the Organized Moms against the Disorganized Moms and the category is Summer. I imagine the Organized Moms hanging huge calendars with cute little drawings of suns and sand castles on them, each day assigned with outings: “Beach Day!” “Music Festival!” “Off to Tuscany!”

22 MendoLakeFamilyLife

And here I am walking on the porch past a clump of rain boots that I still need to put away.

But what summer actually is—a break— isn’t a very American idea. Busy is the only thing that means anything in America: busy means success, busy means happy, busy means money. So when you ask average Americans how

The Fun Plans begin and end with me? Noooo! they are, most often people will say, “Oh, I’ve been so busy!” While this may be true, we also know it’s the answer that gets the best response.

Other countries celebrate the joy of a slower pace, one that puts family and happiness above work. I remember reading an article about an American family that moved to Sweden. One night the dad stayed at work to catch up on a few things, and his boss caught him and actually got angry: “What are you doing here? You should be home with your family!” Can you imagine that happening here? And think of all the countries that actually take a huge break in the middle of every

day to eat and rest? Businesses close down, families have lunch together, and people take naps under trees, waking up only briefly to sing (or at least that’s what I imagine). In Italy there’s a phrase, dolce far niente, which roughly translates to “the sweetness of doing nothing”— now there’s a country that has its priorities straight.

But I’m American, not Italian. So when summer comes, I need to remind myself that, as sweet as it is, it’s almost impossible to just instantly switch into “doing nothing” mode.

And that’s okay. Perfection isn’t the key.

The goal is to have no goal.

I thought it might help me to put up a calendar of my own that just has little hand-drawn pictures of me lying down with a glass of wine in my hand…but really, that would take too much effort.

And besides, there’s a Popsicle in the freezer with my name on it. Literally, the kids wrote names on all the Popsicles so there could be no stealing.

Dolce far niente... ¶ Holly Hester lives in Sebastopol and writes about life on her blog, Riot Ranch. Find her book, Escape from Ugly Mom Island!, on Amazon.
