Need a BIO? Carol Weston is the author of 16 books including Speed of Life, Girltalk, and Ava and Pip. She's been on The View and Today and is the "Dear Carol" advice columnist at Girls' Life and studied literature at Yale and Middlebury.

Obama and the Kids
“I hope that the Obamas are having fun in Hawaii. Raising teenagers is hard. Doing so in public is a feat. As Jerry Seinfeld once said, 'There is no such thing as fun for the whole family.'...”
