reading, blogs, The Happiest Mom

When I came on as Managing Editor here at The Happiest Mom a few months ago, I was already a big fan of Meagan and the blog. I’d been a regular reader here for a couple of years, I read Meagan’s book when it came out in 2011, and later that year I was lucky enough to be in a small group online writing class she taught.

As a reader, what kept me coming back to this space was just how helpful I found the content to be. And not just in an instructive, “10 Easy Dinners for Less than $5″ or “How to Potty Train Your Child” kind of way (though Meagan certainly has the chops and experience to be super helpful in many of those areas), but also in a “Wow, I love that way of looking at it” kind of way. I was drawn to Meagan’s writing because it was commonsense and practical, inclusive and non-judgmental, thoughtful and uplifting.

Now I’m on the other side…sort of.

Last week I promised to give you more information about my new project, The Kitchen Hour. It’s not quite ready for prime time yet, but I’m just too excited to keep you all hanging (and plus, I promised!). So without letting the cat all the way out of the bag, here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:

I’ve already told you how much practicing a regular “kitchen hour” has helped make my evenings run more smoothly while getting dinner on the table and spending time with my family a lot more enjoyable. Now, I want to help you set aside time for your own Kitchen “Hour”, whatever that looks like in your house: whether it’s actually 30 minutes a night, an hour a couple of times a week, or a few hours strung together on the weekend, The Kitchen Hour will help keep you entertained and inspired.
