It’s hard to survive the day without coffee. It’s even harder when you have kids. Coffee is both figuratively and literally my life-force. A good cup of coffee can make up for whatever chaos may ensue later that day. But until recently I never knew why my coffee never tasted as good as when I bought it from a coffee shop.
If you’re anything like me, you dream about the day when your preschooler can help with the chores. Actually help; not, make a bigger mess, help. But I wind up doing the work myself because I know I can get it done quicker. Or I won’t have to redo the work. OR I won’t have to clean up after they cleaned. The list of reasons can go on and on and on. But, did you know we’re doing ourselves a tremendous disservice?

I had what I assumed were the best feminist intentions when my daughter was born. She was not going to be one of those girls who danced instead of playing hockey, played with dolls instead of building race tracks.

No, my daughter was going to be more like her brothers than a sequin-sporting Disney addict.
