Peruse all issues of theWhat right here
Hello Wonderful. Today’s issue highlights our best posts of the week. One of our kids peered over our shoulder and lamented, “You guys only have 3900 Instagram followers?!” True, we neglected IG while growing The What List and The What Women but we promise to share our discoveries on the daily. We’ll still be bringin’ it here but please follow us on Insta for the […]
Hello Wonderful. Last week we told you about gearing up for a little travel. Well, here’s how that’s going: expired passport, missed and canceled flights, epic calls with airlines, tearful children, and a tardy newsletter yet again. But, there are worse problems in the world and in the end, what will be will be. We are […]
Hello Wonderful. We are gearing up for a little travel over the next few weeks so we’ve been amassing a modest mountain of content to review on planes, trains, and automobiles. There have been vibrant discussions in our private group, The What Women, on topics ranging from parenting tween girls to favorite podcasts, books, and […]
Hello Wonderful. Last month we were chatting with a dear friend, who has younger kids, about whether or not punishments, time outs, or discipline really works. Intellectually we believe the mounting evidence against these measures but, in the moment, it’s challenging to respond calmly to anger, hitting, or outright defiance. In this issue, we explore the […]
Hello Wonderful. Spring Equinox begins today at 2:58 PM Pacific Time, which means the official start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and 12 hours of sunshine today (or rain in our case) and 12 hours of darkness tonight. It’s also the super worm equinox moon tonight so look up from your devices and revel in […]
Hello Wonderful. The Varsity Blues scandal has rocked the internet and shockingly our own community with a few people we know on the pay-for-play list. This scandal is disgraceful, bewildering, and damaging to so many people and institutions but most of all, as our friends Victoria and Dan pointed out, to the hardworking kids who lost their […]
Hello Wonderful. The clocks spring forward this Sunday, March 10th which means that winter is waning even though “Winter is Coming” April 14 for the final season of Game of Thrones. It’s been a season of sadness for many of our dear ones who have lost family members, best friends, or who are ill or suffering one […]
Hello Wonderful. Today’s newsletter is jetlagged hence the tardy Friday arrival. But, we’re back from our travels with a new perspective and a renewed appreciation for the transformative powers of generosity—of spirit, of time, of friendship. This week’s video podcast on The What is a recap of GP’s trip to Africa last week. If you’ve […]
Hello Wonderful. Here’s what’s going on this week. GP has joined seven mother-son pairs for a service mission trip with buildON to build a primary school in Senegal. Their organization has built 115 schools around the globe with over 13,000 students attending. AP is (slowly) en route to Tahoe for fresh powder and lots of board games by the […]
Hello Wonderful. It’s Valentine’s Day, a Hallmark holiday we’ve always bristled at. If you’re partnered, the pressure is on. Singles are left out. Breakups get fresh salt in the wound. The only joy might be found at elementary schools. We love the Galentines trend that’s starting to take root and we’ve been working on our own trend: an […]
