    Three a.m., a Panda, and No Sleep

    At three in the morning, Monica woke to a breathing stuffed panda inches from her face. Her baby was asleep. Her couch was unforgiving. Her daughter was floating. This is what happens when you marry a wizard and have children.

    Three Meals My Family Might Eat

    Dinner at our house is less “family meal” and more “feeding three tiny wizards with unreliable opinions.” My IT-wizard husband passed his magic to the kids, so every night is a gamble: will they eat, or will the mac and cheese levitate again?

    If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? If I could live anywhere in the world… New Zealand. Without hesitation.
