More of Melisa's Writing

I’m an online writer and editor. As you may have guessed by scanning this blog, my focus is on parenting lifestyle topics — pregnancy, baby names, gear, travel, family dinners, tips and tricks on making it all easier, fun things to do in New York City, and more.

But I like to write about all sorts of things — especially if they involve being able to complain and do not involve anything too serious (politics = no, shopping = yes!).

Here are more samples of my work:
