Here’s what readers of all generations are saying about “Mishegas of Motherhood,” a popular parenting humor column that appears every week in the St. Louis Jewish Light.

“In the past after reading the front page of The Light, I normally turn to the wedding and obits as most people my age probably do. I don’t do that anymore. I go straight to your column. The columns are insightful and thought provoking. They make me want to dust off the old Royal from J-school and hunt and peck away, waxing as eloquently as you do about subjects that all of us have experienced in the human condition. I found this last column on how you explained to your kids why you believe in God most interesting and inspiring. It’s something I will hold on to and definitely use when the subject comes up as my grandson and future grandchildren ask those same questions that your kids asked of you. Thanks for enriching my day then and for what new “light” you’ll shed in The Light and other media down the road.”
Rick Hitt, St. Louis, MO

“Your article on talking to your children about God is simply beautiful. I can always hear you talking as I read your written word. I always admire people who can write the way they talk. You are gifted in that way. Have you ever though of reading your stories to a live audience? I loved your stories about camping and I could see it being read on stage. Your work is so relative and funny I really think it could transfer off the page onto a stage.”
Terri Wright, St. Louis, MO

“I enjoyed these pieces, funny, witty and sharp…”
Jonny Geller, managing director of the books division at Curtis Brown Literary , one of Europe’s oldest and largest independent literary and media agencies

“I read your column each week and love it! The articles you are writing are informative, glamechlich, and thoroughly enjoyable!”
Jan Baron, St. Louis, MO

“You are wise and your writing is wonderful, just full of practical wisdom and insights…I did love the article about finding God in the ordinary experiences of our daily lives. I also loved the article you wrote on chores. I think you and I are cut from the same cloth!”
Becky Cawley, St. Louis, MO

“I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your column. Sometimes it seems that it’s me talking, or getting advice from my sister.”
Margee, St. Louis, MO

“I loved your article in the Light and I am looking forward to reading more. Your style of writing is warm, approachable, and humorous!”

Susie Levinson, St. Louis, MO

“I just went back and read your story on camping again. It is just as funny the second time around reading it! I think it is a classic. It would stand up against the best—as in Erma Bombeck.”
Tammy Menees, St. Louis, MO

“I love your writing style in your articles for the Light. I have a 14-year-old daughter and have experienced many of the same things you talk about. I’m not the only one reading—my water aerobics group talked about you last week. Keep up the good work and believe me, we moms are reading the paper and looking forward to your column.”
Gloria Schonbrun, St. Louis, MO

“The clothing story was a great article, and so in-tune with what we are all facing with our kids going back to school
