Very excited to share my first piece for @washingtonpost 's On Parenting section about a topic close to my heart: friendships after kids with a bit about introversion and extroversion. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…
I needed this laugh today. Here is the transcript of a political voicemail for the person running to be my representative in Congress. Be sure you read the end. I laughed hard, but it also feels a little too real.

Not sure what this says about me, but I have found the perfect flavor of Barbie fanfiction and it is my new treat for getting work done.
For the first time, I'm putting up a virtual tip jar. Never any pressure, but if you've ever wished you could buy me a coffee (or, let's be honest, a book), you can use this link which will live in my bio.
You can support by buying a book 📖 here —

Woooo!
I'm excited to share the cover of my new novel, out next spring. It's about all the things I love best: food, art, fashion, books. It's about the way traveling can help you find yourself. Find out more here: geni.us/the-paris-novel
Do yourself a favor and follow @Cooperstreaming if you haven't already. I want to be her best friend and for us to take over the world together. #saythequietpartoutloud
Yesterday: a woman I didn’t know was telling me about an overwhelmed mother friend. “One of her kids is super smart and one of them is autistic.” I don’t always think well on my feet, so I mentally corrected her: both of them are autistic. Both of them are super smart.
I’ve been keeping something under a cute little hat! Today I’m soft launching my LEGO resale business, The Brick Mistress, with some truly killer deals. Come see! thebrickmistress.com
Who else wants to disappear into a book? Summer is all about reading for me. Let’s try something? I want to create a hashtag where we can post book wishlists (make sure you have it so your address is entered) and make someone’s day by sending a surprise book! #summerbooksurprise

Adding folks who rep brands in the beautiful and functional children’s and home products to my PR list for my ongoing work with Apartment Therapy’s Cubby vertical. If that’s you, send me an email at [email protected]

As someone who actually runs the romance section at a very large indie bookstore, let me tell you this: if you’re a bookstore and you’re not stocking romance, then you don’t understand the current culture of the bookstore industry. I can’t keep that section stocked!
What are your favorite most romantic songs? I’m getting in the mood! #ameditingromance
I am having a sleep study next week and have to be off certain meds. The good news: they work. The bad news: without them I am a total mess.
If any of you struggle to “celebrate” Presidents Day. Feel free to celebrate my birthday instead. ;)
My very favorite thing about the Super Bowl is that brands can’t reference it with those words. I love giggling at the ways they try to describe it.
I learned *today* that you can vote for Lego ideas and they may turn them into reality. So I may be sharing a few favorites.
I almost fell over when I saw this: The Petrie Residence from the Dick Van Dyke Show, which I grew up watching. And it's all in black and white!!!
