To dust off my writing mojo after taking time off to raise and homeschool my two boys, I rebooted my career with an unconventional choice—I started a humor blog called Tweenior Moments. This fun, creative project gave me the outlet I needed to redefine my midlife voice and get up to speed on things like WordPress, SEO, image sourcing, social media, and more. Plus, it was fun as hell! If you’re just looking for a laugh, keep reading. In fact, check out the funny spin I put on this product review for an organic mattress. But if you’re looking for a writer who can draw people in with humorous storytelling, check out how to work with me.
