I think this was my favorite podcast! Very intersting…Im taking a look at myself. My kids are in a super demanding school where I sometimes think..oh just let them be kids but am constantly amazed at how much they CAN do and achieve. I really want to read her book. We just quit piano because I was so sick of fighting about it. I feel like a looser LOL. Where is the line between being happy and lazy and being succesfull and crazy!? You guys are great!
