Longtime readers of this blog (Hi, you two!) will remember that I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Malawi in 2015 with Heifer International and ONE. I saw first-hand how those two organizations are changing lives and making the world a better place for so many, and for that reason, I’m 100% Ride or Die for them. If Heifer has… Read More >>

Ladies, a question: Do you ever wish you could attend summer camp? When you’re writing your child’s name on his underwear for his two weeks at Camp Fungal, do you sometimes wish you were writing your name?

I don’t remember a lot about my school days. They were (cough) a long time ago. But I definitely have vivid memories of my PE classes. Or, as we called them in the 70’s, “gym.”… Read More >>

I’m in a long-standing group text with seven friends. We’ve texted each other every single day since May of 2016, and our conversation shows no sign of ending unless one of us suddenly loses her data plan and/or her life. (If you’ve ever tried to get out of your AT&T contract, you’ll know which option is easier.) Our text chats… Read More >>

I have a song stuck in my head today. It’s a catchy little number called “That’s How the Boner Grows.” Yes, you read that right. Lest you think I’ve finally gone off the deep end and/or I’ve found some “subscription only” part of the internet, this song is actually from a fun, new video for tweens and teens that was… Read More >>
