Thumbnail image for Book Giveaway/Review: Your Money, The Missing Manual April 19, 2010

Welcome to my long-awaited (at least by me) review of Your Money: The Missing Manual . It’s taken me weeks to review this book because it is so damn good. Obviously, I’m a fan of J.D. Roth’s approach to managing money. I was a loyal reader of his blog, Get Rich Slowly, for years before [...]

Best of Web: Moms Who Blog Edition

March 21, 2010

It’s been a fascinating week to be a mommyblogger. Usually, I’m not very interested in talking or writing about blogging. It’s just the current medium for a lot of my writing; what I have to say generally seems more interesting to me than how I say it. Not this week. First, the New York Times [...]

US Airways: the Final Chapter

February 24, 2010

So we flew home yesterday, and our flights were entirely unremarkable. The gate staff and flight attendants were polite and helpful. Despite numerous phone calls and e-mails, no one was able to sort out our seating issues before we arrived at the airport, but once we were there we had no problem getting excellent seats [...]

(Slightly More Than) Weekly Link Round-up

January 30, 2010

OK, so I’ve been more than a little out of it on the professional aspects of blogging lately. Sure, I’ve been writing. I might even have done some good writing. But I haven’t been quite up to snuff on the less-fascinating stuff like invoicing or sending out queries or rounding up my links at the [...]

Strollerderby, Hospital rejects birth plans

November 11, 2009

I’ve just joined the staff at Strollerderby, the “mother of all parenting blogs”. One of my first articles, “Hospital Rejects Birth Plans”, has started a little comments riot over there. To whit: A hospital in Provo, UT, has posted a sign telling women that if they want a birth plan, a doula or a Bradley [...]
