Who Peed on My Yoga Mat? has made its way into the hands of some discriminating reviewers, and the word on the street is: It doesn’t suck. You can tell by Stephanie’s face.

Meet Funny Mom Robin O’Bryant

How cute is Robin? Very.


Looking for a funny book for women? Robin O’Bryant is one of my favorite funny moms. She’s smart, honest, and possesses that true Southern charm that is neither fake or sticky sweet. And, like me, Robin writes funny books for women.If you like what I write, you’ll like Robin’s work.I think you’ll like Robin, too, because she’s a pretty cool chick. I got to meet Robin in person at BlogHer last summer, where she said something about Martha Stewart that convinced we were...

Davidson 2016: I Approve This Message


Goodbye candidates. Goodbye constant coverage. Goodbye scary sky-is-falling messaging. There will be no gloating today in our bi-partisan household. We will simply reach across the dishwasher to meet the critical challenges facing our household–like how to load the dishwasher–because that’s what you do in a democracy.


Maybe I’m getting old or maybe it was all the misogynistic douche-baggery displayed this year, but the election has made me realize how little I contribute to the public discours...

SEO For Authors Session at Missouri Writers’ Guild

In the conference session I will address authors specifically with techniques we can all use to improve our search engine rankings. I hope to see you in St. Louis.

Thanksgiving: Pinterest for Beginners

[image error]


I am not exactly INto Pinterest, yet it is Thanksgiving. Not only do I need to get my turkeys in a row, as I am hosting the annual Gastropalooza, but it turns out I have written quite a bit about Thanksgiving topics. My nifty Thanksgiving-themed Pinterest board is a random collection of parenting articles, blog posts, recipes and inspiration.


You will also find pictures of tables and food that are far to pretty to be seen at my house, and possibly something funny in a sarcastic, holiday-angsty...

Who Peed on My Yoga Mat? Makes a Great Gift

[image error]


Who Peed on My Yoga Mat?makes the ideal gift for all those holiday parties and visits. It’s easy to ship to your far away BFFs. And a copy signed by the author is thoughtful and generous, but won’t drive you to drink when the credit card statements come in January. In fact, it’s so affordable you should pick up a copy of Blacklisted from the PTA while you’re at it.


Will I See You at theWho Peed on My Yoga Mat?Launch Party?

I hope you can join us Tuesday, December 4th, from 6-9 pm at The Chancel...
