1. I inhaled Jacob Bernstein’s piece in The New York Times last week about his mother, Nora Ephron, heroine without peer. Mr. Bernstein, she would have been so proud. My favorite part of the story: Another thing she requested was a pineapple milkshake, so Max brought one from Emack and Bolio’s, made from fresh pineapple. [...]
By Karli Rose This morning…remembering my seven sweet, challenging years of teaching Kindergarten…remembering the innocence of each 5 year old life…remembering the magic we made in the classroom every day… remembering the parents who cherished those first school memories with their precious children….remembering how many of those children now continue to be in my world: [...]

When it takes place next year, when we find the right plans, this will be my second wedding. My Web maestro Elle tells me that when you Google my name, the most popular suggested searches include “Jaimee Rose Wedding” and “Jaimee Rose Divorce.” Lovely. Oh ye searchers of “Jaimee Rose Divorce,” this time, I’m older, [...]
I am grateful for: peanut butter M&Ms, black leggings, The Container Store, my mother, my mother’s MBA, my mother’s MBA-informed advice, and the Nora Ephron quote that says to be the heroine of your own life. I am grateful for my fiance who always buys bananas so I can eat breakfast in the car. I [...]
One of my writer friends likes to call me and tell me about fancy dinners he’s having with fancy literary people. I am always jealous for two reasons: the names I know make my head spin, and the fact that there are names I don’t know means that he knows more than me. Here’s to [...]
Writing is self-taunting, mind-aching, perfection-added punishment. It doesn’t pay well. It ruins your sleep, weekends, manicures. Also, all of the writers I know are at least 11 percent insane. Junot Diaz is one of the best writers to come along in the last couple of decades. He has a Pulitzer, and his new book, This [...]
I came home from dinner last night and found my friend JR’s book on my doorstep and his voice on NPR. Sutton is here — an important book at an important time, by a writer who has a particular ability to move in on your heart. He owns a fair portion of mine. Last night, [...]
As a journalist, I don’t talk about my political views in public forums — Facebook, Twitter, or even on the bumper of my car. No stickers. No campaigning. No contributions anywhere, ever. We’re not permitted. The press should remain impartial. I was having a conversation last year with my friend Len Downie, former executive editor [...]
I read the last line of my friend J.R. Moehringer’s new book Sutton while seated next to him, after dinner, piles of copied pages from Kinko’s in our hands. He’d been saving the last bit, he said, because he wanted to watch me read it. And so I turned his pages in my lap, and [...]
