Dear Chris,

Thank you for this as always!

Just wanted to extremely co-sign this:

"Liz Glazer is one of the hardest working (and funniest) standup comics I know. She’s also an easy person to root for because she’s such a great member of the community and so supportive of everyone else. So it’s a joy to watch her have a star-making week this week, getting a standing ovation on The Tonight Show and then releasing her first full-length special on YouTube. Watch them both!"

Love you!

Thank you!

Love

Myq

I see a lot of Brooke in this parenting post: setting up routines that benefit you later, loving and firm. Paul and I are no longer counting in months, but 15byears into this parenting journey, the families we click with best all have at least one parent who is an educator. Leading 20 kids all day long gives you a unique perspective.

I agree 100%. I am so glad to have had that experience and I feel like so much of parenting gets clearer for me when I think about it through the lens of being a teacher

I love this list. All of it rings true with my experience, and #3 is precious. My daughter, about age 4, once said, “Mommy, teeth are the flowers of your mouth.” This little nugget is forever preserved in perpetuity in a book of quotes I kept for her. She grew up to be a creative creative. If you’re up for an R rated good laugh, check out any song from her album, Taylored World (Spotify, iTunes, YouTube). You’ll be glad you did. (Fairy Tales slaps the hardest, though Hey Girl has been and remains my favorite)

Enjoy these precious moments…parenting is the hardest thing you’ll ever do…and also the very best.
