In my family, Mom can lead the sports activities, no problem! Except football - that, my husband does.

Kids don't seem to recognize when they're hungry until they're starving and in the emergency zone, so I'm like, "Who wants some apple slices and cheese?"

At restaurants, I carry paper and markers and tell everyone to draw a picture with a unicorn, an octopus and an explosion. That keeps kids still for a minute.

I frequently do drive carpool in the clothes I slept in, because it's impossible to get three children out the door with lunches packed and all that stuff and have a do.

As I have gotten older, I've discovered the joys of being lazy.

I have three kids. I should know how to take care of them.

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