While I'm grateful for such an awesome opportunity to get to share a little bit of my life every week, as the year draws to a close, I'd like the spotlight to shine on some of the other incredible families we've met this year. My biggest privilege here at the Daily is getting to know some of them.
That's life
"That's Life" is a column by Daily features editor Jessica Wiant. She will be writing a column each Monday and will be blogging - when she has time - about being a new mom, a working mom, a wife, a sister, getting dinner on the table and other aspects of family life.
