I am, by my nature, a homebody. I chose life as a stay-at-home-mom so I could, you know, stay at home. I am exhausted.

Only 12 and 13, I think to myself. Losing a parent makes you an adult overnight, someone who realizes how fleeting and random life can be.

Investing in your family is like adding to your bank account: it builds emotional reserves your children can draw from for years to come.

It is impossible to use the suction bulb correctly on your own baby without feeling like some sort of Medieval Grand Inquisitor. He's his father's son, stoic even under the most cruel and unusual torture. I, meanwhile, fight tears and the urge to self-flagellate when this is all over.

If you crave the healing touch of a top notch spa but can't afford it these days, how about borrowing some of the ambiance and integrating it into your day?

Stop giving interviews -- you're turning into a freak show. And for God's sake, teach your kids that there is more to life than giving birth.

So, the "secret" is not really a secret -- it is a time-honored tool in a good home cook's arsenal. Are you ready for this? It's called menu planning. Painfully obvious, no?

My child's increasing self-reliance has given me the time to reflect on my parents' lives. I've always been grateful to have arrived at midlife with two vital parents who live nearby.

The boundaries between my mother and me were often blurred: She was my friend; she was my mother. I was her friend; I was her daughter. I wanted to be like her; I wanted to be like me.

Like Santa Claus, men are incredibly generous. They have a huge desire to give. The goodness of a person inspires them to give more. Meanness makes them want to give less.

Later moms are the agents of enormous social change, because their business savvyness and credentials are getting family and women's issues a hearing they've never had before

Until I had my children, I never really appreciated what it felt like to get to dinnertime and wonder what you really accomplished that day -- yet feel exhausted.

My favorite fairy tale before Twilight was the one where the 1970s girl grows up to have a stunning career and a family.

How very dare she? I thought. I couldn't be a better mother than I am, I read child-rearing books. I managed my anger -- not well, but better.

So often, daughters and sons blame themselves for the unknown tragedies in their parents' childhoods. Often without awareness, they seek to transform their parent's sadness.

I created a Mii (an avatar to represent me on screen while I work out) and then I selected a personal trainer. I chose the male, because he was kind of hot, in a digitized sort of way.

My father found a very real, deep and uncomplicated love and I am so grateful for that. And the impetus for wanting to write this modern "love story" is a moment that took my breath away a few weeks ago during the holidays.
