So I may be slightly obsessed with chai tea. But I am even more obsessed with chai tea in the form of a sweet and refreshing popsicle. It’s not often that something I make off of Pinterest ends up edible, but in this case, we have a winner. Get the easy recipe for homemade chai…

My Mid-Year Goals for 2014
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any new goals on here. Once upon a time, I became a firm believer in committing my goals to writing–especially after, in almost every instance, I was able to reach them, and very quickly, I may add. Who knows if it’s a combination of believing it’s possible,…
Learning To Let Go
This week, I lost one of my steady writing jobs. And since the moment I read that email and came across the importance of freelancers also having a back-up plan, I’ve been in slight panic mode. I realize that the third trimester of pregnancy probably isn’t the best time to start job hunting, but it…
One Bad Day Doesn’t Make You a Bad Mom
Last week, I had a really, really bad mom day. And by that, of course, I mean that I was a horrible mother. I woke up in an instant bad mood to Jake screaming and the realization that his crib was filled with poop, something that no one had apparently noticed in the two days…
What I Learned in My First Week of Work
I started my new job at work last week. I stayed down by the office for 3 days to get settled in and catch up on the crazy amounts of work they had going on. For the first time in my life, I got dressed up in a cute little businessy dress and headed into…

During my last semester of college, I started a new job as the College Outreach Program Coordinator for the non-profit group Feminists for Life, working on helping students set up pregnant and parenting resources on their campuses. (Yes, it was as cool…
What’s Next? Goals For May
Word on the street is, my book is done. And I can say is, phew. Not that it was incredibly stressful to write a book–I’m still pinching myself that I had the opportunity–and it was actually easier than I thought it would be, but I just felt like all of my mental energy and spare…
Write Your Non-Fiction Book Proposal
Last week marked the end of my first book proposal class. I had so much fun with the class and watching my students grow and learn and take the first steps to making their dreams of becoming published authors a reality. It’s such an exciting experience and I love that I got to share in…
Wednesday Links
I get around, I guess. Not like that. Gosh. I’m at the hospital with the mommas and new babies for the next couple of days, so in the meantime, here’s what I’ve been up to elsewhere on the World Wide Web: Why I gave up the fight against stretch marks. Tips for doing your own…
