This 2014 post generated a bit of an uproar—which shocked me at the time. In 2026, I see it as the canary in the coal mine when it comes to where we are right now with anti-science, anti-vaccine sentiment.

A sample of a health-focused post, this one on why so many American girls are getting their menstrual cycles at earlier ages.

A sample of a post that originally ran on The Mid, which was then bought by Scary Mommy. I was assigned health stories that required research links out, as this one does, to support the article's premise.

Even before social media was ubiquitous, I counseled other parents to always ban smart phones at slumber parties.

I've done pro bono work for Everytown for Gun Safety, penning posts promoting commonsense regulatory laws that help protect us all—especially our kids, whose leading cause of death in America is firearm-related fatalities, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Some of my posts were fun trips down memory lane, like this one on YA author and icon Judy Blume.
