Have we met?
Freelance writer, mom blogger, pop culture lover.
I’m Amy, a former reality television producer and advertising executive finally living the dream of writing barefoot while raising my daughters and occasionally feeding my very understanding husband. You might know me from my freelance work, which appears regularly at places like The Huffington Post, mom.me, Momtastic and PopSugar. A few of my posts went viral – in a non-germy way – including “40 Effed Up Things about Being 40” and “You’ll Always Be My First.” Once upon a time, I studied English literature at the University of Pennsylvania and I still love books, especially in paper form. I force my kids to listen to 80s music. I will never give up pasta.

“Good Night Moon” for College Students
This time of year, our Facebook feeds are all flooded with back to school posts. What's strange for me is that I had my kids so late, I'm completely out of sync with many of my peers. While I'm still trying to get an infant to sleep through the night, I've got...
All The Times I Said “No” to My 4-Year-Old Today
I used to be a "Yes" mom. Yes, you can jump off the swing. Yes, you can squirt shaving cream in the bath and pretend it's snow. Yes, you may peform opera in the supermarket. But now I have two kids. A little one who's up all night and a bigger one who is a...
10 Things “Friends” Taught Us About Marriage
Congratulations to one of our favorite "Friends!" Rachel—I mean Jennifer Aniston—has tied the knot with longtime boyfriend Justin Theroux, and Monica—I mean Courteney Cox—stood up for her as Maid of Honor. If only Joey could have officiated. Despite the recent rash of...
9 Reasons I’m Glad My Kids Are 4 Years Apart
The moment my first child was born, and I felt that crazy love, I wanted another baby right away. I wanted 100 babies. We started trying in earnest when our daughter was barely a year old. Which was crazy. Had I gotten pregnant right away, I could have had two kids...
