I’m a list maker. Granted, after having kids, it becomes harder and harder to actually cross anything off any of my given lists, but when I do, it’s quite a feeling. That’s why I was intrigued by Catherine’s idea to come up with an Austin Bucket List for 2014. This...

One of my least favorite roles as a parent is Bad Cop. Yes, I realize someone has to do it. I understand kids need boundaries. But it’s so much better to be The Fun Mom. The Mom who allows Popsicles (only 100% fruit, of course) at 10am on a summer morning and thinks mandatory afternoon ice...
