My week as a romcom: Ashley, the effortlessly cool stay-at-home mom, kicked off her week in Chicago with the kind of balance that only she could pull off—daycare drop-offs and co-working sessions on Monday and Tuesday that gave her time to sip her coffee while it was still hot and tackle her growing to-do list. By Wednesday, the holiday cheer was in full swing at a multicultural music class, where Miles shook tambourines and danced to festive tunes from around the world, making Ashley think she might have a future rock star on her hands. Thursday brought Little Book Club, a delightful chaos of tiny voices and crinkling book pages, where Ashley exchanged knowing glances with the other moms as they wrangled toddlers with one hand and traded life updates with the other. Then, as Friday dawned, it was time to pack up the snacks, the toys, and every conceivable item Miles might possibly need for a road trip to Grandma and Grandpa’s house. As they hit the highway, with Miles happily munching crackers in the backseat and holiday tunes playing softly on the radio, Ashley smiled—there’s no place like home for the holidays, but the magic of Grandma’s house made every mile worth it.
