My thoughts on media, marketing, and momming

You’re a woman who has it all

Blonde mother tickles laughing child on white couch with striped pillows.

The sunlight filters in through the window and highlights your laughter as you eat salad with your friends. Yes, you have a lunch break. And friends. You are a woman who has it all. A career that you enjoy. That doesn’t feel precarious (at least not at the moment). You are lucky that your job… Read More You’re a woman who has it all

Woman in orange long sleeve shirt stretches before morning jog

I have grown more aware of my own foibles over the years and have even come to accept a few of my shortcomings (maybe, just barely). I am making definite strides in the right direction. But there’s some shit that I’ll just never learn.… Read More What I should know better by now

Reading while exhausted: why I love audiobooks

I was expecting it to be harder to read once I had kids. And it definitely is. You can’t just pick up a book on a weekend afternoon whenever you feel like it. There’s no way in hell you’re going to stay in bed until 10 just reading. And once the kids are asleep? Good luck having two brain cells left to rub together.… Read More Reading while exhausted: why I love audiobooks

Why does television keep telling us the same old birth story?

Baby with dark hair sleeping on white surface and wrapped in a white blanket.

I wonder if some of this trope stems from the fact that writers’ rooms used to be pretty much all men (and, you know, lots still here). That combined with female characters that the writers didn’t necessarily want to explore through pregnancy and birth because maybe they thought those things weren’t interesting.… Read More Why does television keep telling us the same old birth story?
