New York Times bestselling author Allison Winn Scotch gives us a peak into her life this week on Real Moms Guide. Turns out that this mom love Napster, craves the ability to sleep like she used to and cherishes watching her children’s minds expand.
Here’s a snippet:
RMG: What was your favorite part of pregnancy?
Allison: Um, well, I guess the second trimester: I was terribly sick the first trimesters with both of them, and by the third, I was ready to explode. Oh, also the bigger boobs! :) To be honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of pregnancy – as my doctor often told me, it was a means to an end, but hey, those boobs were FABULOUS!
RMG: Favorite part of being a mom?
Allison: My favorite part is probably watching their minds grow, and then, watching everything else grow – their curiosity, their confidence, their ability to problem solve and ask questions of the world – along with it. Both of my kids are really engaged learners, and I love, love, love that I’m teaching them about all of these various aspects of life.
For example, right now, my son is obsessed with democracy and American history, which was sparked with the whole situation in Iran, and we took trips to Philadelphia and Boston to get more hands-on experiences. And for both car rides (there and back to both cities), he was chalk-full of non-stop questions. And yeah, it got a little tiresome after, oh, hour four, of answering them, but I think it is THE BEST to be expanding his mind like this. And of course, I’d say that at least a third of the time, he’ll ask me a question that I don’t even know the answer to, so we’ll look it up online, and I’ll learn something too!
