When we know better, we do better. I wish I’d known more about postpartum mood disorders before Magoo was born. I wish more people were more informed. It is this wish that’s caused me to write my 3-part series at Parenting about my experiences with postpartum anxiety and panic, the conclusion of [...]
I went to the bookstore this weekend. My parents are in town and we thusly sped through the rest of Little House on the Prairie at lightning speed, Laylee curled up on my Dad’s lap, face squinched in concentration.
She loves that book, the first real chapter book we’ve read together. Honestly, I’m surprised [...]
There’s a small local bookstore in my neighborhood. I like books. I like supporting the town. So I shop at this bookstore.

People were kind and discussions were thought provoking and respectful. (I’ve got a few words to share on the closing session with Elizabeth Edwards [...]
Can I tell you how much I love getting email with the subject line “Re: Intolerance Intervention”? Very much do I love it and I’ve been getting a lot of it lately.
I’m really excited to be speaking on a panel at BlogHer next week and I’d like your help preparing. The topic is [...]
