Any tips from experienced parents for how to calm your own nerves? I never went growing up, so it\u2019s all new to me. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n Do you get hangry<\/a>?<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been wearing these perfect pants<\/a> while traveling.<\/p>\n And these relaxed jeans<\/a> on dates with a handsome gentleman;)<\/p>\n The Kamala Harris vibe shift<\/a> is electric, and I\u2019m here for it.

Now that I have a tall daughter, I\u2019ve decided to own my height. People comment on my height, and hers, all the time, and while I still resent that a stranger needs to make unsolicited remarks, I\u2019ve learned to reply to \u2018You\u2019re so tall\u2019 with a genuine \u2018Thank you so much!\u2019 as if it\u2019s the highest compliment. I hope my daughter won\u2019t feel like she ever needs to take up less space in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
