I don't have an "elevator speech," but I'm working on it. When I meet people - either at a conference or at a backyard barbecue - and they ask me what my new book is about, I pause. Thoughts start to spin and crash up against each other in my mind.
It's about mothering.
It's a bunch of funny stories about all the mistakes I've made as a mom.

What a charming, warm, human look at Parenthood. If you are looking for the "Follow this Method and have Perfect Children System"- this isn't it. But if you decide to skip over it because its not; what a shame, you will miss out on the real deal o...

Great quote: "I may not know the right answers on many parenting issues, but I am convinced that being connected to our children, accepting and loving them as the unique and worthwhile people they are, covers a multitude of parenting sins. Being c...

"1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. 2. Don't Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering. 3. Don't Make Assumptions Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. 4. Always Do Your Best Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret." — Miguel Ruiz |

“I really loathe [the bumper sticker] 'Proud Parent of a Terrific Kid!'
Why not a bumper sticker for the unlucky parents, something like: 'My Fifteen-Year-Old's in Detox and Not Speaking to Any of Us' or 'My Kid Robbed a 7-Eleven and is in a Center for Youthful Offenders.”
