Awfully quiet around here lately!
In the fall, I was busy preparing a bundle of grant proposals for a client in advance of my maternity leave. I also had the pleasure of writing several articles for Red Tricycle, an online parenting magazine. It was fun getting to research and write about kid-centered activities in my city. I learned a ton and I just enjoy the work.
Some of my favorites were this roundup of affordable or free indoor play spaces, an in-depth look at where to donate used kids gear BESIDES the Goodwill, and a profile of a brand new indoor play space designed for children with sensory-processing disorders.
But the best part of my recent absence? We welcomed our son Robin into our family in early January and I’ve been soaking up time with my children since then.
I also started a little parenting blog of my own over here at A Patch of Earth. Please feel free to follow along on our adventures as a family of four. (7/29/18 Updated to add: I deleted this blog in July in favor of focusing my writing energy in one place.) I’ll be back here with more updates on my professional writing when I’m back at my desk this summer.
Happy spring everyone!
Love,
Melissa
