Don’t listen to horror stories about airplane tantrums. Listen to me while I let you in on the secret perks of seeing the world with kiddos.
Read...I’m a sucker for an interesting woman, so Notorious RBG is obviously my sort of book.
Read...My husband is worried about stigma, about Owen feeling different, about epilepsy being part of his identity. Those are sweet concerns, really. And I get it — I love the kid too. I’d never want to make his life harder in any way.
Read...A new, exciting trend is to have food pantries for college students. I talked to an AmeriCorps volunteer running one of these centers and she was matter-of-fact about the need — and how little is being done. Today’s college students may be young and single, living la vida loca.

Hunger for nontraditional students doesn’t mean surviving on ramen: It means they are not the only person in the household who's in need.
Read...I am going to have amazing posture. My neck will look so skinny just from the way I hold my head.
Read...84% of full professors in America are White. In case you were unsure, that does not match the overall makeup of the country or the student body.
Read...Kirk Cameron in all his Growing Pains glory was the ideal crush. Unthreatening, goofy, good kid with very reasonable weekly conflicts. And a good smile. Always been a sucker for that.
Read...Standardized tests are taking over the world. I can say this because it is true. Like a creeping vine that seems attractive and charming at first, tests appear to be reasonable for the data and direction they can provide.
Read...I’m full of emotions: pride, awe, fear, nerves. The spelling bee first, then the piano recital. Two different kids, same mom. Same me, wanting to prevent my boys from pain and discomfort. Same me, biting my tongue and smiling broadly in support.
Read...Perfectly Karaoke Or Lip Sync A Song: You may think this is less important than the other items on the list. You are wrong.
