Hi! I found you on Company on Sundays! We have a lot in common...I happen to be half Jewish, too...and 1/2 Episcopalian...I am married to a man for almost 25 years with three kids 22, 22 and 20! AND, I write a blog about women (and those that love them) in our "now what" phase of life and focus on what we have gotten passionate about lately. And, the usual, empty nest musings, aging, and a lot of interviews. Love to chat! Maybe we can figure out a Collab! Or just talk about how our sight is getting worse, or the invisibility cloaks we got after our 50th b day!
I was a devoted reader of your babycenter blog, back when i was expecting and had young babies. My children are now 23, 21, and 18. I have not seen content by you in years, and when i saw a link to you in my Burnt Toast email this morning it felt like i had been reunited with an old friend . . . i'm so happy to see you and for your writing to be back in my life.
i preordered your book as soon as i saw you had one coming out. i read we all want impossible things in one sitting, laughing and crying, saying yes to the chaos of life because what a gift! and now you’re on substack!? even better. looking forward to 1 can of chickpeas dinners.
Yippee! I’m so glad to be here. I always looked forward to your voice on Ben & Birdy and in O and Cup of Jo. Your books…. It is so great and I can’t wait for more.
The snail whisperer!
(plus, plus, plus your gift guide, which is the best, and homemade vanilla and the yummy spirits I made last Christmas that
I can’t remember the name of)
Also, if you happen to do another book tour, Bank Square Books in Mystic, CT is pretty wonderful.
Your blog on BabyCenter used to be a bright spot in my work day; I'd read it while lunching at my desk. I lost track of your writing in the meantime, but it's weird how often I've thought about your OG blog over the years and wondered how you & your family were doing. I guess because blogging was so new? So there were only a few bloggers that we all read? So the connection felt very personal, even though I doubt I ever left a comment back then? Anyway, I'm so looking forward to reading your words again, here on the other side of motherhood at Crone-dom! I'm here by way of @theladybirdpurse
Can I ask this question with full curiosity, zero judgement and honest ignorance... what does it mean to be a cis queer woman married to a man? Thanks for helping me be a better human.
I just listened to Sandwich in one sitting today while re-glazing some windows. I didn't want it to ever ever end. Thank you.
So glad I found you and this excellent blog! I read your column in Real Simple for many years—it was the best thing in there.

Thank you so much, dear Jennifer! xo
Crones AND cats? I'm in! 😃 But beware, both my parents have become avid readers of my Substack.... don't assume they won't find you here 🫣

You had me at crones.
I am not ashamed to say I am here for the random cat content. ;)

Thank you so much, Aimee! I'd love to come to Mystic! Let's hatch a plan. xo
Yes, let’s! I’d be so happy to.

For me, it means that I have been with women and would be again if Michael got whisked away by, say, aliens!
Love is love is love.
