The Deepest Conversation I Had This Week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tonight, as I was putting a night diaper on my four-year-old before bed, he looked at me and said, “mom, will you die before me?” My heart temporarily stopped as I glanced down at the Towed by Toad book I had pulled out for our story time, ‘oh boy’ I thought to myself, ‘this is not going to be a smooth sailing bedtime.’ If you’ve ever been put on the spot by a four-year-old, you know there is no room for hesitation. Don’t hesitate, don’t fear. They smell fear. I said the first thing that came to
The Case for a Midlife Crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Right now, everyone I know is having a midlife crisis, and judging by my Instagram poll on today’s Substack topic, so is everyone I don’t know.

A Few Ways to Stay Healthy and Sane During the Transition Back to School (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The last licks of Summer are here and with them, the transition back to more structured days and menus. I love the ease of summer cooking and the rhythm of long dinners while the kids play or swim; and the beach walks before bedtime and the bountiful farm-stand produce that needs a little more than olive oil and sea salt to highlight its natural goodness. Eating healthfully feels more attainable and within reach for all of us, and even my friends who don’t love to cook, love to cook in the summe
