Equity does not exist in households where women make more!

Mom with kids on vacation "Female breadwinners face a much higher risk for burnout, infidelity, and divorce."  When She Makes More ,  Farnoosh Torabi Prince is one of my favorite artists. And, I think that it is genius that the beginning of his famous song, "Let's go crazy" mimics a marriage ceremony. It makes you wonder whether he was suggesting that marriage itself was a path to insanity. If you have forgotten the beginning, here you go, "Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today, To get through this thing called "life" Electric word, life, It means forever and that's a mighty long time, But I'm here to tell you  There's something else..." He writes the afterworld in the blank. However, a recent study suggests that "marriage" could be inserted in its place, especially marriage for high earning women.

Mommy Mondays: Toddlers Are Fast Learners!

on
Our toddler goes on lots of adventures every week. She visits museums, parks and the Carnegie Library.  We send her to these activities so that she has adequate stimulation, is entertained, and learns how to interact with other children.  As an only child and first grandchild she runs the risk of getting slightly spoiled...

At 21 months, our motivation is mostly social development. However, it appears that she is learning a great deal of tangible information through these activities too. 
I got this picture of her as they were singing "If You're Happy and You Know it".  Apparently, the teacher said, "If You're Happy and You Know It 'Wiggle Your Ears'". Our eager little toddler, who is apparently a sponge for knowledge, wiggled her own ears without prompting. 

We didn't even know that she could identify her ears! It just goes to show that she is watching and absorbing everything.

NOTE TO SELF: No more bad words or potato chips for dinner...
