Tweet The rock I’ve been hiding under, or pushing through fields, up mountains, across oceans, and through arid deserts with my dear friends Vikki, Heather, and Galit, will finally arrive to the Twin Cities next Thursday. I can’t believe I’m saying those words – but yes, Listen To Your Mother will debut in Minneapolis on…
Tweet I worry for my children. Not because of drugs or bad guys or car accidents or bad fashion choices or clogs or boys who will be mean to them. I’m worried that they will become homebodies like their mother. Give me the choice of a party or sitting quietly in my room…
Tweet I just attended my high school class reunion. My 25th in case you were thinking it was just my 10th. I know right, I look barely old enough to have children. I had a blast. Connecting with old best girlfriends and reconnecting with people I haven’t seen in 25 years will be the…
Tweet I find myself quoting the last episode ever of Desperate Housewives, which really sucks when I’m trying to be all educated and ‘writer like’ and all I can think about is the last thing that Susan Delfino ever said. Especially since Susan is not even a real person – SO GET OUT OF MY…
Tweet I can do my BlogHer 2012 recap in two different ways – I can go into details on the people I met, the food I ate, the things I learned, the places I went, the unicorns I danced with and the shoes that I wore OR I can write a just write post in…
Tweet I met these young people about nine and half years ago. We were all new parents with babies ranging in age from six weeks to three months. We all showed up on a cold January evening with babies bundled in their car seats, diaper bags overstuffed, and eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. (We…
Tweet When I first met Kristi I will admit she was a bit of a mystery to me – this stay at home mom with a cute toddler. My boyfriend(now husband) and I would go for motorcycle rides with a guy we met through a local motorcycle meet-up. He had a wife and a toddler…
Tweet I’ve been at this blogging gig for four years now. Sometimes it seems like yesterday that I started, but then I go back and look at pictures and realize that my kids have really grown and oh my – where did all of those wrinkles come from? And just like my sagging…
Tweet 1. Rent out one of the oldest alleys in your town. 2. Husband realizes that his old alley doesn’t have computerized scoring. Has no idea how to score bowling. Oh those snobby New Englanders who attended the opera whilst us hearty Midwesterners were either getting lucky in the back of an Oldsmobile or bowling….
Tweet I love my eldest daughter. What I really love about her…is that she is a good friend. Everyone wants to be Eloise’s friend. Even her sisters want to be her friend. The girls walked into the party gushing about being so happy to be at Eloise’s house. At Eloise’s party. Parents dropping…
Tweet Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. – Oprah Winfrey Today I am guest posting over at Friends You Love. When Kristin asked me to guest post I had to ask…
Tweet I’ve been on a post-BlogHer love fest the past 48 hours. My outgoing twitter stream is filled with “OMG you are the best!” “Meeting you was my conference highlight!” “You are so damn gorgeous I kind of hate you!” “Where do you live so I can continue to stalk you!” “You are the best…
Tweet I was not quite sure what to expect at a Blog conference with 3500 women and a handful of very smart men. Would it be overwhelming, would it be inspiring, would it be fueled by coffee or wine, would it be dancing on stages with new friends and strangers, would it be wearing McDonald’s…
Tweet One more day my friends. I have to say that I need to talk about the weather. It turns out when you stay in a cabin for a week you must talk about the weather a lot. It’s been gorgeous. Perfect one might say. 80ish degrees. No humidity. Sunshine. Calm waters. Sunrises that you…
