Articles
Before I began writing and editing books full time, I wrote for magazines and newspapers. My byline has appeared in Woman's Day, Working Mother, Parents, Smithsonian, The New York Times, and many other publications. I served as a contributing editor at Working Mother for seven years, writing their monthly health news column. Below are two of my favorite articles and one personal essay.
