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.

Don’t Sugar Coat It
My birthday is the deadline. If I’m not pregnant by then, I'm pulling out the big guns and doing IVF (It's Very Fancy). Did I mention my birthday is this weekend? Yeah, so, to prepare, I scheduled a consultation at the fertility practice where we did IUI. I didn’t...
Hooked On Technology, And Not In A Sexy Way
I realize this is the pot calling the kettle blog, but I’m worried that technology is sucking the life out of me. Can you relate? I feel chained, yet addicted, to electronic communications. Maybe it’s because I’m a stay-at-home mom, and those little pings from my...
