Quotes to ponder:

"Unless we are raising cheese-eating, floor-sweeping, laughing women who randomly break into song, let’s hope they pick up some more useful traits from their father and the people we surround ourselves with."

"Like Lisa and her husband, making their kids travel companions for a life-changing adventure, the best way to teach them is to model it."

"A part of me is overwhelmed by getting this list to become lesson. The other part of me rolls her eyes and sips her coffee, my kids will be fine, I know."
