Hi there!

Thanks for stopping by my site. I’m a writer who frequently covers parenting and family, adoption, race and social justice, youth sports, food, and the surprising ways those seemingly unrelated topics can intersect.

I’ve published essays online at The New York Times, The Washington Post, Brain, Child, The Manifest-Station, Good Housekeeping, Redbook, espnW, and many more sites. You might have seen my humor at McSweeney’s or Scary Mommy, or read some of my parenting advice at Adoptive Families, Esme, or Parenting.com. And if you like to cook, you may recognize my name from my work at The Kitchn (which is also my favorite place to search for recipes!)
