Yesterday was exactly the kind of day you want to spend in New York City and thanks to this post, sponsored by Collective Bias®, I got to do just that.

Lessons From Family Dinner
How do people not have family dinner? I suppose I can’t call what we do “family” because The Husband is rarely there. But every night we sit around the table, the children and I, and they tell me their tales. “What’s the best part and the worst part of your day?” I ask. What [...]
