Holidays are so much more enjoyable and special now that I have sweet baby James in my life. And this week we\u2019re celebrating TWO holidays: Passover and Easter. We\u2019ve had the best time dying eggs, learning Passover traditions, and putting together Easter baskets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In James\u2019 basket: these colorful stacking cups<\/a>, Where the Wild Things Are<\/a>, some socks, and a few other inexpensive trinkets (the good stuff\u2014candy<\/em>\u2014will come next year). Today we\u2019re heading to my parents\u2019 house, 10 minutes away, for brunch and an egg hunt. If you celebrate these holidays, I hope you enjoy the time with your loved ones, and if you don\u2019t, I hope the weekend is treating you well :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five Lies Our Culture Tells<\/strong><\/a>
My favorite article that I’ve read in a long time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I can make myself happy.”<\/em> This is the lie of self-sufficiency. This is the lie that happiness is an individual accomplishment. If I can have just one more victory, lose 15 pounds or get better at meditation, then I will be happy.
But people looking back on their lives from their deathbeds tell us that happiness is found amid thick and loving relationships. It is found by defeating self-sufficiency for a state of mutual dependence. It is found in the giving and receiving of care.<\/p>

LISTEN<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Childish<\/strong><\/a>
I\u2019ve listened to Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend <\/a>for yeeeaaars (I\u2019m particularly fond of the Thursday show, where she chats with friends). It\u2019s the only show I listen to solely for the host. I love Alison. She\u2019s funny, smart, and incredibly compassionate. She\u2019s also a little neurotic and gets stuck in her own head\u2014and that\u2019s part of her charm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She and friend\/co-host\/comedian Greg Fitzsimmons have great chemistry and a lot of relatable yet insightful things to say about parenting, marriage, getting older…you name it. And for a parenting podcast, there\u2019s zero sanctimony here, just honest (NSFW) and funny conversation between two friends. I would\u2019ve listened even without the parenting aspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aftershokz Headphones<\/a>
The only trouble with wanting to listen to podcasts when I’m out on a walk with James is that I *also* want to be able to hear the sounds around me (my baby, cars, neighbors). My friend Cara introduced me to these “open-ear headphones,” which allow you to hear both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
