Writing this essay was a therapy session. Thanks to Open Secrets for letting me revisit the furred, feathered, and finned creatures I have loved, lost, buried, and kept in my closet.

For over 20 years, I’ve kept the cremated remains of my pets—but I don’t know what to do with them

I think I might do another round of Blind Date With a Book for teachers and staff at the end of the year. Not sure how to theme it though. Maybe summer camp?
Blind Date With a Book for teachers and staff at my kids’ school:

55 review copies collected over the year. A roll of craft paper. Old fashioned library cards and pockets. A stack of bookmarks. Twine, yarn, and a little bling.

The apple trees are blooming and we have a freeze warning for tomorrow and Wednesday night. 😭

I’m still dreaming about this white pizza I made on Friday. Smoked mozzarella stuffed crust, layered with ricotta, mozzarella, mushrooms, red onion, fresh rosemary, and Parmesan. So, so good.

After taking a break from personal essays for a couple of years, I’m wrapping up 2024 with some new bylines. I wrote this one for Business Insider’s parenting section.

As a mom of teens, I was surprised when they asked to spend time with me this holiday season
Long gone are the days when my sons asked for PAW Patrol Christmas gifts. Now, they want my attention and time.

Just finishing up the Thanksgiving shopping.

The Thanksgiving turkey is thawing in the refrigerator. The Christmas tree is up. I have my 2025 datebook. I’m right on schedule for my end of the year melt down.

It doesn’t feel like the holiday season until I make gingersnaps.
