What are your superpowers?







Those are some great superpowers. I think I have a few to add (that I bet you have too):
The ability to do piles of laundry in a single bound.
The skills to play Sorry with an older child while nursing, compiling a grocery list, and/or clipping someone’s nails.
The ability to make up elaborate stories about monsters and fairies that also have the effect of getting our preschooler into the bath or to clean up messes.
The willingness to love our children and husbands even when you are so frustrated you want to run away.
