I write about marriage, family, and life as a woman from a stage of life we don't hear about much, that of a matriarch. I'm there now and hoping that what I have learned can be of use to others.

Librarian, wife, mother (not necessarily in that order); tired of people pretending love and marriage are lame; yes, still shelving Harry Potter at my library. Here I write about my "matriarch" phase (nod to Louise Perry's Maiden Mother Matriarch).
