I’ve been thinking and writing a lot about what holidays means as a parent in these times. In the fall, I mostly guffawed at the new trend of Boo Baskets for Halloween for The Cut.

Hello, hello! Is anyone else having a hard time just getting 2025… started? First it was the endless school break, now it’s frigid weather plus a kiddo home with the flu. Am wearing a mask in my own home, doling out ibuprofen, and trying not to flashback to this January.

Shopping our links is another great way to support Burnt Toast!Friends, we’re obviously still living in chaos and dark times, but here’s one good thing…It’s so exciting that I made you an awkward little video announcement (and longtime readers know I’m mostly retired from the talk-to-camera phase of my career). You guys, the paperback is SO CUTE. I love how we tweaked the cover just a little.
