Seven years ago, my husband Jason and I traveled to New England for two weeks to visit our family and friends. While we were there, Jason’s cousin Sara threw a cousins' party, and I couldn't wait to see all the cousins I have missed so dearly since we left Vermont....
From the moment I held my little girl, Emma, I dove headfirst into motherhood. To say I love being a mom is an understatement and I can confidently say I am pretty darn good at it. That’s not to say it isn’t challenging. It is without a doubt the most challenging...
Motherhood has made me a lot more efficient. The first thing I did after having my son, Theo, was to schedule most meetings for 30 minutes as opposed to an hour. Balancing work and spending time with Theo is definitely my biggest challenge. My company, Maven, is...

Helping your kids make new friends.... it almost feels like you're dating the family, no?
Motherhood is harder than I thought it would be. I had always dreamed about getting married and having kids but the whole thing is harder than I thought it would be. At times, having kids brings out a side of me that I don’t want to see. I just gave birth...
