Life

I had my first child at 37—here’s what I’ve learned

Despite the fact that I don't have as much energy as I used to (coffee helps, but let's be honest), I'm so happy I had my kids when I did. Here are the advantages I've found in older motherhood.

Relationships

You’re not my ‘second husband’—you’re my rock, my one and only

You noticed me when another man looked right through me. You wanted to be close to me when another man couldn't get far enough away. You made me whole again when another man left me broken.

Life

It’s completely quiet when my kids are at school—and that’s exactly what I need

These long stretches of solitude help recalibrate my body and mind.

Life

The antidote to my parenting anxiety

You'd gotten the best of me again, stealing time I should have spent doing anything other than obsessing over the multitude of awful things that could have (but didn't!) happen to my family.
