In my introductory post on this new site, I mentioned that I am currently working on a book. If you check out my about me page, you will see that I have a literary agent who is working to shop my book to publishers. I wrote the original proposal back in May; I was in a different ...

“Friendship is thicker than blood”
This morning, as I drove my daughter to her last day of school for the year, we blasted One of our favorite musicals, Rent. We were on Disk 2. Her favorite. She is partial to the middle tracks, but today I thought we should listen to the beginning. We listened to the beautiful chorus of "Seasons of Love" ...
#teamMEA
This is a love letter to my team. Not my "outpatient team"; certainly not when I played Penn Valley Junior Girls Basketball and was on Miami; this is a love letter to #teamMEA. Dearest Loves, For someone who loves words, I am having trouble finding the right ones; this is the hardest love letter I have ever ...
A handful of things
1. I had my MRI/MRA yesterday. It was less scary than I had expected (though I don't yet know the results because in order to view the disk with my images I would need a PC and also probably a medical degree). However... As we headed back for my test, my heart racing, my stomach turning, ...
We talked about sex. (Let’s talk some more.)
SEE BELOW FOR IMPORTANT UPDATE: Last week, I wrote my first ever post about sex. I am very careful about the content that I include on my site, a site called "Mommy, Ever After", but I think that the post (and the subsequent conversations that it sparked) are lifestyle issues that will help all of us ...
A Post About Sex.
Mommy, Ever After is a blog that began under the umbrella of "mommy blog" and has evolved a bit into the world of popular culture and mental health, but really, it's mostly about being a parent and a person. That said, this site is definitely not appropriate for children. I share some very personal details about ...
You are not alone.
Below, before the three asterisks, is what I wrote early this morning. I took some time off from writing this more emotional post and so, instead, I posted the story of a dance party. Then, my parents took my daughter to see her new favorite movie, I picked up the cake for my husband's birthday tomorrow ...
I’ve been beanboozled.
If you are a parent or someone who is around kids, you know that about 1/3-1/2 of the things that they say are actually true. There are kernels of truth in most things, but there are also great exaggerations (the kind folk refer to these as "imaginations"). So my daughter tells me things every day like: "There ...
Things that made my heart burst yesterday:
The incredibly touching comments that I received on my emotional day post on Facebook. The launch of the new website for Pearl Communications, my PR firm. It was actually the owner who suggested that I use Brand Revive and then ended up hiring them herself, with brilliant results. A great phonecall with my friend who told me ...
Make this year your most beautiful; Brand Spotlight: Rodan + Fields
If you are anything like I am, then we have (probably hundreds, but at least) two things in common: First, you care about your skin. You dread the appearance of wrinkles or dullness and want to look healthy and your best AND Second, you've seen thousands of posts on your Facebook page and Instagram feed from women ...
