A few weeks ago, I stared wistfully at the woman ahead of me in the preschool drop-off line. She had on tailored jeans, high heeled boots and a lovely top. Her hair was combed and she had tastefully applied makeup. She had on earrings. And a belt. She was a put-together mom. If she had [...]

This weekend, I experienced a humiliating event. After trekking six hours to my beloved Penn State University, my alma mater, for one of the biggest games of the year, after the painful process of obtaining tickets, hotel room, and gathering the troops to make the trip happen: our team forgot to show up. No, seriously. [...]

One year ago today, my boss, and ironically one of my best friends (still!), asked me to meet him at Starbucks at Gaskins at 7:30. I normally worked from home on Mondays, and was about to go to the gym, so I donned my running shoes and met him there. When his car pulled up [...]

Twitter has brought me together with two amazing Richmond women—both happen to be moms—from two different perspectives, backgrounds, and family situations, in the last week. Both of these women are smart, savvy, and are working while raising two children. Both of these women had preconceived notions about me, as I did about them. For example, [...]

First of all, I am not being paid by the makers of Snuggie for this endorsement. Really. (Special note to Snuggie execs: if you feel compelled to hire me as your spokesperson, let’s talk.

A dear friend of mine just began working on a seriously cool Richmond business: it’s a site that will list all business events, press releases, gatherings—everything in one place, and it’s called Virginia News and Events. The neat thing about this site is that it brings all types of opportunities–from training to new businesses opening [...]

Richmond parents: be forewarned. Some turn-your-stomach language is involved in this article. Ever seen the movie Stand By Me? There’s part of the movie where they have a pie eating contest, and one kid barfs, then the rest of the kids in the contest and everyone around them start barfing: it’s a barf-o-rama. I experienced [...]

Note to all new Richmond moms: it’s true. It’s all true. What those old ladies in the mall tell you. I promise, my friend. If I had a nickel for every time someone said, “Honey, don’t wish this baby stage away!” Well. . . .I’d probably have a few bucks now and could buy a [...]
