I’ve been a blogger for almost 3 full years now. This was the blog’s first birthday bagel. Bless it’s little heart. I am by NO MEANS an expert, and by many definitions, I am only on the very beginning edge of even being mildly successful. But in the three years of consistent writing and participating […]
Were You Married in 1990? Here’s How It Was a TAD Different Than Today
So, last year, I wrote a very heartfelt post all about what I’d learned over my 24 years of marriage. I don’t really have anything new to add to that, but I did want to write something about our marriage as Scott and I are getting ready to celebrate 25 years together. I got to […]

Thank you so much committing to the media compact for our groundbreaking journalism project with SheKnows Media and Public Radio International.

I’m Over 40 And I’ve Never Run – Is It Too Late For Me?
I was 42 when I ran the Chicago Marathon. I am currently 44 years old and I didn’t start running until I was 38. And I have MANY friends who started way later than I did (friends please comment so they don’t think I’m lying about you;). I’ve mentioned this before, but I believe it […]

Why Parenthood Going Off The Air Is NOT Going to Work for Me
I can’t. I just seriously can’t. Why are you leaving me, Bravermans? WHY?!?!?! Here’s why it’s not OK: Zeek – the perfectly imperfect dad. He loves fierce and sometimes in a really unhealthy way. But it’s OK, because the motive is right even when the actions come out clunky and odd. The perfect ex-hippie/military man […]
A Reminder To My Blogger Friends – Your Words ALWAYS Matter
If a blogger writes in a forrest, and no one is there to retweet it, did they really write? This past week, I participated in a 7 day writing challenge called the Your Turn Challenge that was born out of Seth Godin’s new book, What To Do When It’s Your Turn. I wrote every day […]
Friday Five Link Up! Five Things About ME!
As much as I hate writing about myself (not true I love writing about myself), I hadn’t linked up with my great friends over at Eat Pray Run DC in awhile so I decided to fight through the discomfort of self disclosure (not true, I have no discomfort with self disclosure) and take today’s writing […]
