Thrifting My Way to Type-A
By 2 Comments
I don’t know about all of you, but since my kids were born and I’ve been living in the style of Meg Wolitzer’s protagonist in the 10 Year Nap, I have nothing to wear besides jeans (mostly with holes in the knees), several Mickey Mouse t-shirts and a pair of red, Converse sneakers.

Eating the Elephant–5 Lessons from Type-A Parent Con
Last weekend I headed to Atlanta for my first ever Type-A Parent Conference. I had known that I wanted to go to one of the bigger social media conferences out there and heard that Type-A was one of the best.

Vera Bradley’s Fall Collection Glows with Gorgeous Colors & Prints
As you may have gleaned from some of my other recent posts, I just returned from the Type-A Parent Conference in Atlanta.

As most of us {Read More}
Good Boy, Schnoggy
When I first got him I named him Viva, after a friend of a friend who was the bartender at Arturo’s on Thompson and Houston in the city. He was only a few weeks old when I adopted him from the daughter of the other bartender at Arturo’s. He was small and black and skittish and Chester, the big cat, ate his food. When Jon came onto the scene only a few months after Viva arrived, he took him under {Read More}
