225. the karens (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I decided it was time to chop my hair off before I got any more “Little House on the Prairie” looking. Vince liked it, Gianna loved it, Evie didn’t notice, and Scarlett told me I looked like Karen from Eight Is Enough. Apparently, cutting your hair short also means opening yourself up to a full family review.
224. the learner's permit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A simple trip to the DMV for Scarlett’s learner’s permit becomes a painfully relatable mom fail and a reminder that sometimes motherhood is just confidently forgetting the one thing you absolutely needed to remember. Add teenage side-eye, parental guilt, and a very specific path to forgiveness.
