One time I rode a police horse down Pennsylvania Avenue, and I've been meaning to write about it ever since. 250 article drafts (and counting) say it might be a while before that one makes it to print.

I'm a mom to one, wife to one, and book owner to 400 (give or take). Fond of parentheses, run-on sentences, and the Oxford comma. Jane Austen aficionado, not above re-reading Beverly Cleary for the 80th time. I write personal essays, parenting musings, book reviews, and strung-together tidbits of history that catch my fancy. Also, sometimes I am funny. Working on making that "frequently."
