Haven’t had that one, but we (hubs owns a wine shop) stock Eins Zwei Zero’s sparkling Riesling and it’s my favorite of the many NA wines I’ve tried. I think it’s generally easier to get a pleasing sparkling NA than still.

I just told a colleague yesterday that I get to work at 70% on a good day.

It's hard to know if this is more about trad-wife brain-melting or boundaries brain-melting. Probably both!

This is almost exactly what I just said to my husband (on my way to bed).

Having babies made me a morning person against my will, and I can’t help but to agree with you. Reading this as I’m fixing to go run with my morning-person mom friend and “get a jump on the day!”🫠

Lately, I have been making a list of things that my brain actively repels and will not learn, as a way of making peace with middle age and finitude. You’re reminding me to add this one.

Article says should *not* make a deal--this is an important correction to make!

I took my girls thrifting for a couple hours this afternoon and missed at least two of them.

A barred owl swooped right in front me and my daughter as we were walking the dog in the neighborhood last night.

American Routes comes on our NPR station on Saturday afternoons, and it is 100% the highlight of my week to listen while I start prepping dinner.

When I told my undergrad professor I didn’t think I was smart enough to do a PhD, he said, “oh it’s not about smart. It’s about work.” He showed me how I was mistakenly comparing myself to people further down the line, not who they were as undergrads. A+ and long-lasting life lessons there.
