I have this fancy Givenchy bag. I don't know what the Kardashians have in their bags - I bet they have really expensive products or six cellphones or something. I have a cellphone and some lipstick for me, and the rest is just filled with stuff for the kids - sunscreen and lip balm and little Ziploc bags of pretzels and cheese sticks.

I was class mom at the preschool one year and I was pretty much asked not to do that again!

I take the kids skiing every year, and my husband doesn't always go. The way I grew up, that's very normal. My mom would take us skiing, but my dad hates cold weather.

I use an app called ChoreMonster. The kids earn points for brushing teeth or picking up the dog poop. It's genius.

I'm most certainly not the Beatles.

It's a war of attrition. If you have patience and a modicum of faith in yourself your chances are not too bad.

I count myself lucky to be fairly anonymous but occasionally have people tell me nice things.
