Are ypu using AI at home? Yesterday, my niece and I gave chatgpt a list of ingredients we already had and asked it to give us a cookie recipe with measurements for a big family. My niece and I were laughing, while we baked and talked about robots, and the rest of the kids joined us in the kitchen when they smelled cookies baking, so it was a very fun time 🥰
I got up at 4:30 thinking it was 5:30. Got a long travel day with the kids ahead of me, a red eye flight tomorrow for leg 2, and a car ride.

How many parent teacher meetings will be planned on the same time and day this year?
remember this
Today is the last day of 14 days without kids. Not feeling guilty of having enjoyed every single day
After 2.5 weeks on the road with the kids I happily handed them over to granny.
Happy because they were happy to see granny.
Happy because I'm looking forward to "me time".
Happy because when asked what they learned about themselves they said "family is fun"

I always have been really uncomfortable with the label “super mom”.
One part could be the covert Christian upbringing.
Another part is the image of a super hero - lone strong person that saves the day - that feels suffocating.
