Learning not to cry over spilled milk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every time my 4 year old carries something, the people around her (whether we know them or not) tend to act like she’s carrying an atomic bomb. With their hands extended, they warn: ‘Careful! You’ll spill it!’ And while it’s true she has a tilted carry, often gets distracted, and spills a lot of beverages, I’ve recently started wondering why we act like spilling is such a calamity? She gets less warnings when she’s playing on the edge of the road.The other day, she spilled her cup of milk on the

My 4 year old and one of her pals ‘redecorated’ the cubbyhouse a few weeks ago. By that I mean: they broke into the paint and emptied every bottle on themselves, the walls, the floor, and inside everything that opens (including the microwave of her kitchen, the toy cupcakes, cups, jugs, and the kettle). It was a red/yellow/blue/orange/green/purple crime scene that quickly became that gross all-colours-mixed-together brown.I laughed. I couldn’t have cared less (except I quickly washed out her fri
36 Lessons I've Learned at 36 (opens the original)

Today is my 36th birthday. Happy birthday, me! Some might consider it a nothing age, not one of the big ones. But 36 seems like such a fabulous age to me, a happening age.Maybe it’s because I keep thinking about all the women I remember being 36: my editor at madison was 36 when I started there; one of my aunts had her first baby at 36; another aunt got married at 36 (and, at the time, she considered it “old”). To me, it seemed like the kind of age when things happened. Now here I am, at 36— I’v

While I am loath to compliment anything Google does given their billionaire founders are spending millions ($45 million, reportedly) to fight paying tax rather than just, you know, paying the tax (it’s like the same amount, no?!), I unfortunately have to concede that the new vertical tab feature is fantastic.Now, rather than fighting my desire/need/toxic habit of having 2,430,957,205 tabs open at once, it’s making it easier for me to see them all at once!<a class="image-link i
Mountains I'll die on (or under) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I hate wasting food. Like really, truly hate it. The passion hit me around the time I turned 30, and I’ve been adamant that black bananas must be made into muffins ever since. (Or fertiliser for the pumpkins if it’s really dire.)But if you were to call me right now and tell me one of my best friends was hired as a big supermarket’s Head of Quality Assurance, aka the person responsible for wasting hundreds of kilos of food on the premise of ‘cosmetic standards’ every year, I’d immediately soften.
