Pretending to be Sarah Jessica Parker

12 Comments

I’ve always loved memes – from the time they were passed around in middle school notebooks to the recent reincarnation in the blogosphere.  I also adore Sarah Jessica Parker.  A few month ago I watched a video interview she did with Vogue, “73 questions with SJP.”  It was fun and it gave me an idea for a blog.  I transcribed all the questioned and saved them for another day.  That day has come!  I’ve been working on an essay all week for a class I’m taking and my brain is fried.  I failed to hook up with Mama Kat this week and aside from a guest post at the Family Legacy Center, it’s been quiet here at The Latchkey Mom.  So if you’ll indulge me, I will pretend I am Miss Sarah Jessica Parker and answer Vogue’s questions:

So this is a “checking in” post.   We’re finally back from our month long road trip (which was documented at Road Warrior Momma).  I tried my best to post new material during June – I was able to participate in a few link-ups and write some book reviews, but that was about it.  This was my first road trip as a full time blogger, and it was really hard.  Along with the obvious difficulties of finding the time to write with four kids distracting me, I was trying to hashtag and Instagram everything we saw, to get more street creed in the travel blogosphere (I did score Cape Cod Guide Book as a follower!).  Plus I was trying to write an article for My Forsyth Magazine.  It hasn’t gotten any easier since our return, either.  We were in town for a week and there was too much going on and I just couldn’t get myself to sit down in front of the computer.  I’ve had zero motivation.  So what’s a blocked writer to do?  Hit the road again, of course.  Continue reading I’m Back…Sort Of →

I Dare Allie – Update #4

Hello friends, I have to confess that I’ve been struggling with my project.  It’s very hard to come up with something new EVERY SINGLE DAY – and expensive!  But I’m not a quitter, so I will soldier on, but you’ll have to forgive me if some of my firsts are snore-worthy.  If you’re not having fun reading about  one, you can be assured that I probably didn’t have fun doing it.  Also, I’m making a slight amendment (hey, it’s my project – I can manage it as goJ).  If a first happens to me, through no effort on my part, I’m still claiming it!  Plus, I haven’t heard many suggestions from my peanut gallery…hint, hint.
