The 12 Must-Have Ingredients for A Good Day With Kids

12 Must-Have Ingredients for A Good Day With Kids

The funny thing about parenting is that just when you think you have it all figured out, a kid stops napping or starts biting, or schedules change, or you change, and it's almost like you have to start all over, figuring out how to have a good day. That's my goal lately, a good day. It's hard to think bigger than that, and when I start considering Childhood or Theories of Brain Development or What Kind of Parent One Ought to Be I get really tired and need a nap. But my kids don't nap. So I can't. Instead I spend a lot of energy trying to make each day good. Not perfect, but good. Each day with little kids is a marathon and a lifetime and a work of art and a mess. Inevitably.
