Why are there 700 articles about the halcyon days of our childhood? Why are we waxing sentimental about how things used to be, while not just making them that way? We are the deciders, parents.

But mostly about  how being a mama is hard and we can totally rock it, but maybe that dream of perfection has got to give a little.

    Love, 
    Molly
