Suburban Scrawl’s Greatest Hits

Here are a few posts you should read if you’re a new visitor (welcome!) and want to get to know me a little faster. This page is a work-in-progress!

1. “Going to the Abbey and They’re Gonna Get Married”: I live-blogged the wedding of William and Catherine on April 29, 2011. Good times. It’s my most-visited post ever, in the history of Suburban Scrawl.

2. “Getting All Giddy About Foreigners”: I love foreigners and am crazy about Germans and Germany, specifically. (Don’t judge.) Here’s why.

3. “There’s Just No Getting Rid of the Elephant in the Room”: As embarrassing as it was to have gone completely ballistic when my very little boys didn’t want to go on the Dumbo ride, it’s a hilarious story. So my husband says. Ba-dum-bump!

4. “Go Big or Go Home”: This post is about how my sister and I put on the best bake sale ever, but also explains the way I live my life in general.

5. “Does This Dog Look Like a Killer?”: My dog always keeps me on my toes. That’s all I’ll say.

6. “Saturday Night Special: Embracing the Pain”: One evening I had a Twitter conversation my buddy Momo that was too funny to leave in the archives, so I turned it into an animated short.

7. “Traveling the Space-Time Continuum”: This is a sweet post about how time flies when you’re a parent.

8. In the spring of 2011, I made a few really fun videos while touring some Chicagoland attractions in conjunction with the release of my book, sponsored by Chevy. A couple of them are quite hilarious; click here to check them out!

9. In the summer of 2011, it was a great honor to serve as an official Ambassador of Skydeck Chicago. I conquered my fear of The Ledge and had all kinds of fun on the 103rd floor of the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower! Click here to read my Skydeck posts.
