In case you haven’t noticed, I (Hillary) am a big fan of honesty. This has worked both to my favor and my detriment in regular life. People know they can come to me to get honest assessments of things. On the flip side of that coin, I sometimes don’t guard my words as...

(O nome oficial é “Projeto de Lei sobre os Direitos dos Pais na Educação”, ou HB 1557.) Como sempre, incentivamos nossas mamães a serem...

Não levo uma vida superpública, mas também não sou excessivamente reservada. O John e eu brincamos dizendo que, se minha boca não disser, meu rosto vai dizer. E neste novo mundo da comunicação — telas, redes sociais, etc. — se minha boca e meu rosto estão dizendo, mas não é o suficiente...

O que vem à sua cabeça quando você ouve a palavra “tradição”? A famosa caçarola da sua tia-avó? Abrir um único presente na véspera de Natal? Assistir àquele filme assustador do Rudolph em animação com bonecos de argila? (Sabe... aquele em que o duende quer ser dentista?) A maioria das nossas famílias tem alguma...

The world has watched in horror as Afghanistan, a nation in which we have invested for decades, has toppled in a matter of days. Over here in the West, school is just starting. The COVID-19 Facebook debates are making me want to give up social media altogether, and...

This has been quite a week, has it not? Or heck, this has been quite a year. Even the weather is rebelling. I’m sitting outside in short sleeves and flip flops, and I’m hot… in Iowa… in November. John is usually snow blowing the driveway by now. (Not that I’m...
