I always say 'yes' when my kids ask to host or attend a sleepover. My parents didn't allow them, and I always felt left out.

1 day ago | businessinsider.com | Jennifer Jennifer Goldblatt |Olivia Christensen |Henry Blodget

My hot take: Parents should be saying "yes" to more sleepovers. When my children — ages 14, 12, and 10 — come to me, usually flanked by a friend, eyes shining with unhinged hope and trepidation to ask for a sleepover, I almost always agree to it. Perhaps this decision isn't as controversial as it feels, but often, my "yes" is met by a "no" from the friend's parents'. And I get it.
My sister and I fought our entire childhood due to our differences. As adults, we are best friends.

I am the oldest child. Like many, I grew up under the expectation that I should be mature, my sister's caretaker. I was classically anxious, organized, and bossy. My belief was that my little sister, who is three years my junior, was both my responsibility and my subordinate. We had epic, sisterly battles. I was type A, and my sister was not. We shared a bedroom, where my side had a bookcase, with my books arranged in alphabetical order and my bed tidily made.
When I was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, I only worried about who would care for my baby

The day started like any other one. I had planned a casual mall outing with my son, who was around 18 months old at the time, and my two closest friends. I had been feeling mild abdominal discomfort since the morning, but brushed it off as gas and took an antacid. After all, I was a mom now, so there was little time to indulge in aches or pains. By the time I met my friends, the pain had sharpened. Still, I kept going.
My 7-year-old interviewed the author of his favorite book. He asked big and small questions with more confidence than I have.

When author and illustrator Peter Brown set out to write "The Wild Robot," he didn't head to a studio or café — he went to the Catskills, Maine, and the Pacific Northwest to find inspiration. When I had the chance to connect with Brown, I knew I had to turn to an expert who truly appreciated the book: my 7-year-old son.
I've saved hundreds of dollars by scoring second-hand items. The trick is hunting in the right neighborhoods.

Over the years, I've saved hundreds — maybe even more — by picking up secondhand items from a variety of sources. Some of my most coveted belongings have come from garage sales and curbs bearing pre-loved items and signs announcing they're free.

I found a way to put an end to my kids' constant summer snacking. I even get to save tons of money.

2 weeks ago | businessinsider.com | Jennifer Jennifer Goldblatt |Rachel Garlinghouse |Henry Blodget

The day after school let out for three months of summer fun, my kids were hovering in their favorite hangout spot in our home: the kitchen. They were already snacking, all day, every day. I very quickly realized that not only was their pantry goblin status annoying me, but the constant inhalation of snacks was expensive. Two or three snacks a day, times four kids is a lot to stock.
I had my first chat with a financial advisor over hushed tones at work. Now, I'm helping other women find the confidence I lacked.

"Great, Katie, I've got Zach, who's in training, on the line for this call and I'll be stepping in to fill an advisory role," assured the deep voice booming out of my phone. I reflexively squeezed the button on the side to lower the volume. Self-conscious that people in the surrounding cubicles would hear my conversation, I slipped into a nearby fishbowl phone alcove and slid the glass door closed behind me with a force that revealed my unfamiliarity with my new workplace's meeting rooms.
My partner and I lived long distance for 5 years. It gave me the space I needed.

2 weeks ago | businessinsider.com | Jennifer Jennifer Goldblatt |Pamela Vachon |Henry Blodget

My husband and I got married last June in a simple ceremony at New York City Hall. A week after our wedding, he went back to his home in London, and I stayed in mine in New York. We'd been together for five years when we got married, during which time we always lived on opposite sides of the Atlantic. We recently moved in together only after we'd been married for seven months, but having that literal space in our long-distance relationship was something that really worked for both of us.
I didn't waste my effort and money throwing big birthday parties for my kids until they turned 5

2 weeks ago | businessinsider.com | Jennifer Jennifer Goldblatt |Anna Rahmanan |Henry Blodget

My daughter clearly remembers her fifth birthday party. Granted, it was only a year ago, but considering she forgets almost everything I tell her, the fact that she recalls it at all feels like a win. We held the event in my parents' backyard. I ordered food, hired a company to give the girls manicures and hair treatments, bought a cake I was sure she'd love, picked out matching dresses for her and her sister, and spent time curating goody bags that wouldn't get tossed the moment the kids got home.
