Poison Ivy and a Weekend Surprise: REGRETS ONLY is here!

posted on 07/28/2012

The bad news (for me) is that I have a RAGING case of poison ivy, which I got working in the backyard last week. I’ve always been allergic and our yard is full of the stuff, but this is definitely the worst reaction I’ve had. It’s just gross. For some reason I also got hives […]

Hubby vs. Mean Reviews, Touched by an Email

posted on 06/01/2012

I’ll be very honest with you, blog reader friends. Just between us, negative reviews about a book you’ve written can suck. Even though every book gets them, even though you can always learn something from feedback, even though it’s part of what you signed up for when you decided to take the self-important step of […]

This isn’t a foodie blog, but I just want to do a quick update for those interested: I did a guest post this weekend on my friend Meghan’s plant-based living blog. It has a yummy Curried Veggie recipe and some pictures of my kids chowing down. You can find it here. As someone who’s spent […]

Did you ever have one of those weeks? I did. Week before last, actually. Some people would say, “when it rains it pours.” I would say, “it felt like our house was on a vortex of crap.” Those of you who have or have recently had preschool-aged children understand that once your kid goes to […]

A Word About Ethics and Title Confusion

posted on 04/17/2012

I remember distinctly how I heard about Jeffrey Eugenides’s Pulitzer-Prize winning novel, The Marriage Plot. I was in Target with my boys last fall, probably trying to keep one of them from destroying a rack of clothing and the other from screaming his newborn head off while we finished our shopping. We rounded the corner […]
