If there’s one thing I love, it’s getting around. I also love to write for like-minded sites around the web.
My essays regularly appear on Pop Sugar Moms, Scary Mommy, and in 2014 I contributed to the anthlogy Scary Mommy’s Guide to Surviving the Holidays. I’ve also been featured on The Huffington Post and MommyPage, and worked as a humor columnist for local parenting sites STL Parent and STL Family Life. Periodically I like to take a break from short form essay writing to work on the memoir I started 34 years ago. I plan to finish it approximately six years after I die.
