I’m taking a quick break from potty and booger posts (seriously, I need to change topics already) to announce that I’ve been invited to speak at the Virginia Festival of the Book in Charlottesville, Virginia on Sunday, March 24.
The discussion is called “Memoirs: Living on the Edge” and I’ll be appearing as part of a panel to include Judy Goldman (Losing My Sister), Sheila Hageman (Stripping Down) and Eric Nuzum (Giving Up the Ghost: A Story About Friendship, 80s Rock, a Lost Scrap of Paper and What it Means to be Haunted.)
I’m so honored and excited to meet and greet with these amazing authors. I cannot wait!
The Virginia Festival of the Book is a behemoth. It takes place all over town and spans nearly a week, but the memoir panel will be held at Barnes & Nobles (1035A Emmet Street in Barracks Road Shopping Center) and begins at 1:30 p.m.
If you love books and memoirs in particular, by all means, please stop by and say hi.
P.S. The paperback of my book comes out April 2nd! Call and order an autographed copy from my local bookstore here.

Hooray! I’ve marked my calendar!
Congratulations. I would certainly attend if I lived near there. (And yes, a new subject is welcome. The potty training wasn’t so bad, but reading about nose picking–the B word makes me cringe–is too much.)
Already have a copy reserved at my local bookstore!
Yeah, I read and delight in everything you post, but I couldn’t bring myself to open the booger post, and I actually hid it on my Facebook feed. That’s a subject I am completely squeamish about! Can’t believe I was ever a young mom with little runny-nosed children underfoot. Congratulations on your invitation to appear at the Book Festival! Well-deserved!
What, you don’t want MORE about toddler boogers, Grandma Tess? Ha ha! Noted. No more booger posts henceforth!
Congratulations on the Va Festival of the Book! How does your husband feel to be living with such a celebrity?
PS – I loved the booger post. Maybe because my kids were never fascinated by them.
