On The Run: March 2016

Hey Mamas,

God forbid you miss anything I write, think, or utter under my breath, I have links here to everything I’ve done in March.

I let my boys play hooky! True story. Read “Playing Hooky” here.

See what happens when three moms make three different decisions with their sons standing outside of a karate class at the local YMCA. Psst! One of them is me! Read “The Best Decision Moms Can Make” here.

How do I connect with sons offline if I don’t want to connect with them online? This piece has lots of good ideas on how to communicate with boys. Read “Connecting With Boys Offline in an Online World” here.

We celebrated a birthday. My little guy is #thisis7 and he’s #oneofakind and #mybaby. Read “#thisis7” here.

Syndication is crucial in the blogging world. It’s an awesome way to introduce work to new readers, and I got three amazing opportunities this month. My essays, Unpacking a Former Life and The Best Decision Moms Can Make,” were featured on Coffee Table Confessions, and my essay, The Letter From School I Never Expected,” was featured on BLUNTmoms. Happy dance!

And finally…

FROM THE VAULT: March 6th would have been Harry’s 11th birthday. I present, “A Letter To My Dog,” an essay I wrote in March 2013 on Harry’s 8th birthday. It was a letter of gratitude, and I had no idea when I wrote it that we would lose him to cancer in the same year. You can read it here.

Don’t forget to Like my Facebook page and follow me on Twitter.

Happy reading!

Three Moms Walk Into a Bar, er, a Karate Class…

TGIF!

My essay, “The Best Decision Moms Can Make,” about three moms standing outside of a karate class at the local YMCA, is on Coffee Table Confessions today. It’s been a busy week of syndication here at The Runaway Mama, and I’m so grateful for the chance to introduce my work to a wider audience. Click here to check it out, and thank you in advance for reading, commenting, and sharing!

A few people have asked me which mom in the essay is me. I’ll never tell, but if you really want to know, you can ask my mom because she guessed it right immediately. (Of course.)

Happy Good Friday and Easter to all who celebrate!
