My friends, who are bright lights in my life year after year and who are willing to call me on my BS when I need it: Jennifer Meredith Castillo, Becky Pollack Parker, Kelly Meyer, Nancy Truman, Cirene Revan, Alexandra Drane, Caridyn Colburn, Tiffany Spencer, Jessica Hall, Shannon Lickle, Twanna Walker Taylor, Harper Reese, Sara Ell, Hutch Parker, and Cecile Reynaud.
Katie Dawson Roberts for your time and love for my family over the years, and for offering a single woman’s perspective on the book.
Susan Casey for taking time to read the book and give me your thoughts and support.
Courteney Cox for your love and support.
Chelsea Handler for a complete hard time.
Don Wildman for your friendship and for being a constant source of inspiration to our family.
Jane Kachmer for helping me to have the vision to turn the blog into a book.

My wonderful editor, Shannon Welch, for her stellar guidance, and Scribner for taking a chance, giving this book a home, and seeing it through from start to finish.
Todd Cole for creating images that give us a sliver of the
chaos, but making it seem just a little more dialed than the reality.
My beautiful and crazy daughters, Bela, Reece, and Brody Jo. You three are the greatest teachers I may ever know, and I am honored to be able to share life with you.
Last, to my king, Laird. Thank you for your understanding, love, passion, and for giving it your best each day. You have made my life so full of color and excitement, and without you. I may have just played it safe. I cherish the gift of knowing you, your love, and your partnership. Oh, and when our girls are difficult, I do blame you for those traits.
