Gear Up for the Holidays with a Week of Self-Care

C

Working moms have to be especially vigilant about taking care of themselves as we approach “the most wonderful time of the year” (aka “the most stressful time of the year” for many of us). It’s too easy to neglect ourselves in favor of lengthy to-do lists and constant demands from all directions. That’s why we’re [...]

Thanks to everybody who commented to my recent post about my debut novel for teens, RIVAL, which came out last week. Here’s a photo of me signing copies at my launch party. So exciting!

A Working Mom and Author Shills for Her Book

Hi, everybody, it’s Sara. “Who?” you’re thinking. “I’m supposed to know who this Sara person is?” I wouldn’t blame the majority of our readers for not knowing, because I’m sort of the “shadow” WMAG these days – the invisible one who rarely posts. Why? Because I’m working what sometimes feels like two, even three jobs. [...]

Giveaway: Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! Tickets

Guess what? I am a bigger fan of Yo Gabba Gabba! than my 4-year-old. And I’m not going to apologize for it. I heart heart heart DJ Lance Rock, the funky monster characters, and, most of all, the music and dancing. It’s so fun to get our groove on while learning important lessons about not [...]

Get Ready Cincinnati, Good Housekeeping Is Coming!

I am not a good housekeeper. I am, in fact, a rather terrible housekeeper, as anyone who has visited or lived in my home can attest. But no matter how bad the dustbunnies and laundry piles get, I still harbor hope that one day, I will be a Good Housekeeper. I even read the magazine [...]
