Like a lot of babies, when my daughter Roxie was still in her first year she had a certain reticence around strangers. At the time, we chalked it up to separation anxiety otherwise known as "please don't pass me to Granny or Grandpa or I'll scream my head off." Read More »

Two years ago, passport and frequent flier number tucked in her diaper bag, our four-month-old daughter, Eloise, wound through the cobbled streets of Fez, Morocco strapped to my husband's chest. Slabs of raw meat hung from butchers' stalls and the smell of freshly dyed leather and Moroccan spices filled the ancient walled city. Our little "worm," as my husband, Brian, calls her, craned her neck to absorb the scenes. Women and children kissed her cheeks and hands in the market. And like the mysterious Islamic call to prayer sounding overhead, we experienced something spiritual — sharing our passion for travel with our infant daughter. By the end of her first year, we had hit Morocco, England (twice), and Cameroon. Despite our excitement over our baby's adventures, we caught grief from friends and family about dragging our infant around the world. Read More »

Forget about father-son businesses; although that’s the model still ingrained in the American psyche. Mother-daughter businesses are the new black. I have no idea how they do it; honestly, most women I know have such complicated relationships with their mothers without having to worry about ordering, restocking and bookkeeping, it’s a miracle they still talk at all.
But it seems sort of romantic to go into business with someone you love and know so well; who better than a mother, father, sibling or husband to work with? Whenever a big-box chain store threatens to move in to our neighborhood, we tend to rally around the tiny mom-and-pop store that we’ve been shopping at for years. We love mom-and-pop- run businesses — they make up more than 80 percent of the nation’s companies.
