Parenting is a great gig. If it isn’t, something needs to change.
Your children are capable of falling asleep without you. They are learning new skills all the time; they can learn this too!
Sleep is fundamental. Everything (*literally*) depends on a basic human level of sleep. You think you can power through for months or years without it, but you can’t.

Much of what I’ve learned is distilled into the Precious Little Sleep book, a comprehensive resource on kids and sleep. It is funny, accessible, evidence-based, and chock full of practical tactics for tired parents. I’m pretty sure it’s bad form to say your own book is great and every new parent should read it, but it is, and I do.

Anything else you care to know? Drop me a line!

When I’m not working, I am a slow trail runner, a sloppy nordic skier, and a bad Crossfitter. I read a lot of romance and fantasy novels (I adore Rainbow Rowell, Maggie Stiefvater, Ilona Andrews, Rachel Smythe, etc.).

I am a political rabble rouser, a terrible housekeeper, and a good friend who has a quality bottle of wine on hand at all times, for emergencies.

I live in Vermont with my husband (who is French and adorable), our two boys, two dogs, and a cat.
