I went home to visit my parents over the holidays and they had a surprise waiting for me. No, not a new car or even a cashmere sweater. Instead, they pulled out ALL of the boxes of stuff I was saving for posterity (or something like that). All fifteen boxes, each filled to the brim [...]
Big companies are endlessly studying how teens (and tweens) are consuming media. (You know the studies and articles I’m talking about: “Teens are on Twitter” – “Facebook is the new MySpace” – “Texting is the end of Communicaton as We Know it!”) But the most interesting study I’ve read recently is one on The Way [...]
I am one of the least musically talented people I know. Yes, I sing in the shower…but I can’t remember real lyrics to save my life. And even though I play guitar hero on medium, I have to focus with every ounce of my brain power (and it helps if I know the song, otherwise [...]
I love the fourth of July. Not only is it my friend Lauren’s birthday (a good reason to celebrate in and of itself) but we get a day off work and there are picnics, barbecues, fireworks, sprinklers, corn on the cob (a MUST), and all the other fun stuff that comes along with typical americana. [...]
A lot of the teenagers I know have had a really hard time finding jobs, and some of those who have had to promise to stay into the school year (not just a summer gig). I’m not the only one who’s finding this. The Los Angeles Times had a column about it – from a mom [...]
I've been on a little mental vacay for the last few weeks (thus, no blog posts). I think some of my friends think I'm on a mental vacay all the time, but that's another story. After getting back from book tour I was totally wiped. It was such a blast but between the huge (literally [...]
Here's your weekly Ask Sarah B sesh. Remember if you want to ask a question and get some advice, you can email me at: AskSarahB@gmail.com Question:I have a question. Ok. I'm a twin and my mom always makes us do the same things. Even if one of us wants to do something and the other [...]
The theme for my senior prom was “Angel.” Now, I appreciate all the effort the senior class officers put into planning a great prom, but Angel? Really? If my date (and then boyfriend) would’ve called me angel I would’ve puked all over my burgundy dress. It was based on that Sarah McLachlan song, appropriately titled [...]
Memorial Day weekend means that summer is literally days away. Even though the actual day off is a little earlier this year than most (I get the 26th off for work, not the 31st), summer is practically here. And just like every other summer, Memorial Day gets me thinking about what I’m going to do [...]
I have settled back home after being out on the road for 2 weeks. It’s great to be back home sleeping in my bed and waking up at a decent hour, but I kind of miss being out doing events and meeting people. So, I thought I would share some highlights from a few cities [...]
