It’s Wednesday January 2 and the kids are still on Christmas vacation…for another FIVE days. And I have zero leverage. Gone is the threat that Santa will dock them a present for bad behavior. Gone is the promise of driving around to check out Christmas...

This past weekend, my four year old’s life became a Sex in the City episode. In A Woman’s Right to Shoes, Carrie goes to a baby shower hosted by her friend and new mom Kyra. Kyra makes everyone everybody take off their shoes and Carrie’s signature Manolos...
This past year my quality of life significantly improved. Full-time housekeeper? Lottery? Kids doing their own laundry? None of the above. Drum roll please…my first born is old enough AND responsible enough to babysit her sisters. You read that right, I can just walk out...
