That’s what SHE said: disciplining another’s child, what kids lose when they grow up with more, Sheryl Sandberg on resilience, how to turn Tinder messages into art, Shakespeare in the parks and more…
I MIGHT DISCIPLINE YOUR CHILD | scarymommy.com Preach! A veteran mom explains the importance of discipline for her child and for yours..."That’s right: If your kid shoves my kid, I’m going to speak up. If we are at a PTA event and your kid is rude to me, I will call them on their behavior.

I’ve spent too many years drilling good . . .

#TBT: I’ve got your lifestyle blog right here
On Thursdays I post something from the archives. This is from May 2014. About a decade ago, I loved to scour through home design magazines for inspiration. I also bought the occasional fashion magazine. It was a guilty pleasure but also a source for ideas. I still look for inspiration, but I've replaced most of the magazines with online destinations. This seems to be a trend for most people, as most of us are just as likely to peruse Pinterest or design websites or foodie instagram . . .
Up for Debate: Paul and I disagree on the transgender bathroom issue
He's conservative. I'm liberal. And we are trying to have a civil discussion about the election. It's 5/18/16 and my friend Paul Martin and I are talking about this week's happenings. Is the transgender bathroom bill a government overreach? Paul and I find we disagree on this one. Will Trump tap Palin as his running mate? Can Hilary win the conservative vote? Here are our thoughts: . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Marissa
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system.

The joy and pain of discovering old home movies
This post was sponsored by Legacybox. I have always been a curator. Ever since I was small, I loved keeping records of memories. I was a stellar diary-keeper and an impeccable pen-pal. I saved everything. I made books and collages and loved hanging pictures in my room.My friends and I loved making videos and creating scripts together. It’s no small wonder that I was drawn to blogging. I love that I have this space where my kids can read my thoughts and see snapshots of their childhood. I . . .
Okay, ladies, now let’s get in formation
This past weekend I had a "girls night out" with some friends to see Beyoncé in concert. I have been trying to be better about getting out with friends, and also better about buying concert tickets instead of having FOMO on instagram when others are at a big show. So when the Beyoncé tickets were announced for Los Angeles, I set an alarm in my phone and got online as soon as they went on sale, and bought the max number of tickets allowed (8). I figured I would see if there were a few friends who . . .
