It would have been a wonderful wedding - had it not been mine.

For years, my husband and I have advocated separate vacations. But the kids keep finding us.

I hated skiing or any other sport where there was an ambulance waiting at the bottom of the hill.

Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

Encourage independence in your children by regularly losing them in the supermarket.

I was a closet pacifier advocate. So were most of my friends. Unknown to our mothers, we owned thirty or forty of those little suckers that were placed strategically around the house so a cry could be silenced in less than thirty seconds. Even though bottles were boiled, rooms disinfected, and germs fought one on one, no one seemed to care where the pacifier had been.

I've always felt there are two things a woman should never do after the age of thirty-five: stand in natural light and have a baby.
