As a kid, 13 was my favorite number. Until I actually turned 13, and then it was 16. And then 18. And then, 21. But, 13 was the first age I remember being eager to reach.

Motherhood Truths: 10 More Things I Know For Sure

This year will mark my 16th in the mom game. Most of the time I feel like Beyonce -all of this winning, but I can fully admit I have my crash-and-burn Lindsay Lohan moments too. Balance.
