Self-care is important. Massages are a good form of self-care. Too bad I keep thinking about what I'm going to make for dinner.

1. Write a damn letter.

Look, Connect Four is not a good game. But it can be over quickly, which is pretty great.

1. Borrow a child.

I get how we want to make our kids successful and everything, right from the start. Feeding into the pressure, here’s the tagline from Starling’s company: “The world’s first word-tracking system that can improve your child’s trajectory for life.”

I wanted to write a book last summer. Then I realized what a terrible goal that was and modified accordingly.

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.

When I’m staring at the wall trying to keep my cool when my 6-year-old is hysterical about the tiny bump on his finger, I attempt to channel some of the good parts.

I am going to have amazing posture. My neck will look so skinny just from the way I hold my head.

I’m not broken by this therapy failure. Jane wasn't the person to help me at this point of my life. Someone else WILL be.
