Hi, all! 

When you're done here, check out my blog, http://www.FormerlyHot.com. It's all about what happens in that weird, middling stage of life when you're not old, but you're by no means young, either. Basically, you're an adult tween, with all the same awkward, misfit moments that the word implies. No one--not marketers, not the media, not the opposite sex, and least of all you--knows what to do with you. I'd love to hear what you think!

I've been an editor and a writer for 20 years, working on staff and freelance for Glamour, Self, Real Simple, Fitness, Ladies Home Journal, Redbook, the New York Times, and countless other magazines and publications. I've won a bunch of awards, and have had essays published in several books, the latest of which can be found in Behind the Bedroom Door, an anthology of women writing about sex.

When I'm not blogging here or there, I'm an editor-at-large at Parenting, and chasing after my twin girls.
