Mom sleepovers are essential to your good health. The concept sounded strange to me. Last week, a group of women writer friends and I planned to attend a convention in San Diego.

Hi Friends! We are home from our summer vacation. We traveled to North Carolina to visit lots of family. It was a great time. The weather was amazing! On the way to North Carolina we opted for an overnight flight in the hopes that our children would sleep on the plane. Ummm… it sounded like a good idea until we realized that it is really hard for the kids to lie down and get comfy to sleep. Fun stuff! Lets just say the travel part was my least favorite part of the trip.

Before I had my daughter, I remember cringing every time I heard a parent say the word playdate. Like silent birth and attachment parenting, it sounded a little too new-wave and high maintenance. When I was growing up, silent births happened when a woman screamed so loudly she lost her voice, and attachment parenting was more aptly named you cant say No to your child. Likewise, we never had playdates. When the neighbor kids knocked on the door, Mom didnt offer them handmade cupcakes on coordinating napkins. In fact, they werent even allowed inside.
