Trash pickup day 1,946. This was a 60 minute pickup. #EarthCleanUp

You don't brush your teeth for 14 minutes every Sunday. You do it twice a day.

You don't sleep 56 hours in a row during the weekend and then stay awake M-F.

So why would cleaning our parks be any different?

@clhubes I think it's the sore throat that starts first. Ours refused to eat when they got it. They were obviously hungry and would take a bite, just to scream at us miserably. I recommend stocking up on yogurt and purees!

Advice for parents of young kids: you're going to want to radically UNDERestimate how much you can get done in a single weekend. Some weekends, you will actually hit the mark, and some weekends, the carbon monoxide alarm will go off at 3am.

bunched up in the small of your back, that baby will sleep forever. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT give in to the temptation to make that adjustment. Eventually, you simply acquire the ability to sleep with half of your brain like a dolphin and maintain the status quo indefinitely.

[Marissa Nall @MarissaNall]

There is actually a guaranteed, foolproof way to get a baby to go to sleep, and it is to be exactly 90% comfortable. If you're completely at ease, except you really want to relax your right arm that last little bit, or maybe the blanket is kinda

I firmly believe that time spent reading books should not be subtracted from your lifespan. You should be able to step aside into Book Time, spend as long there as you like, then resume Ordinary Life Time at the same point you left. Clearly a superior arrangement.

@sarahradz_ By making this post, you have absolutely gotten a 4 year old out of at least one scrape. I can't say when it will happen, and I can't say what the circumstances will be, but rest assured. My kid will need this. TIA

Call me crazy, but I really kinda LIKED knowing my president feared criminal prosecution if the actions he took were AGAINST THE LAW.

I agree America's relationship with tipping is flawed, but you know who really needs to be able to flip that tablet around at the end of the day? Teachers and daycare workers. The ability for parents to say thank you for snapping that amazing toddler photo or I'm so sorry my/
