I’ve worked with pregnant women and new mothers for the past five years, and as a mom of four sons ages 2-10, I’ve been passionate about pregnancy, birth, motherhood and family life even longer. Whether it’s a story on hoping for a boy or girl for Fit Pregnancy, motherhood and online community for Baby Talk, or why kids don’t play outside anymore for Good Housekeeping, I especially love writing stories that focus on a mother’s emotional life or that help parents improve their connection and day-to-day lives with their families. Here are a few examples of the kinds of stories I’ve written:

Get Your Kids To Play Outdoors–Good Housekeeping, July 2008

End the Mommy Wars–Family.com, 2007

Gender Letdown–Fit Pregnancy Magazine, August/September 2006

Bloggin’ Mama — BabyTalk Magazine, Coverlined feature, April 2006

Time To Appreciate Motherhood–American Baby Magazine, May 2006
