Sweetney was my personal blog between 2004-2012. During that time I wrote over 2,000 posts about my life, and about being a mother. When my daughter turned 10 in 2012, I made the decision that stories about her life were no longer mine to tell, and closed the site. What you’ll find here are 50 hand-selected posts I feel best exemplify the writing I did on Sweetney over those years, ranging from light and humorous to introspective and deeply felt. You can read about some of the press and recognition Sweetney received during its run here.
