A Full Plate: March 2008
http://sarahjio.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 15, 2008. Interview with "Violet" author Melissa Walker. Today I'm talking to NYC writer Melissa Walker. I've never met Melissa, in person anyway, but somehow I get the feeling that if we lived in the same city, I'd invite her to all of my parties (not that I'm throwing many these days with a baby in the house). She's fun and down to earth - and also a writer with a voice I admire. . SJ: What is your advice to writers who want to break into YA fiction writing? Be up on trends? Or maybe th...

Monday, September 01, 2008. Happy First Day of September! Fall So I decided to ring it in a little earlier this year, on this first day of September, by picking blackberries (yep, we pillaged the neighbors' overgrown vine) and baking pumpkin muffins (I used a really good recipe from one of Dorie Greenspan's books). And, a quick pumpkin progress report: I have six growing in my garden. Six! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Happy First Day of September!

A Full Plate: February 2008
http://sarahjio.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Jazz apples and Cara Cara oranges. How can I put this delicately? 160;Life with a toddler can get, well, kind of bland sometimes. . Today, during a quick trip to the green market for dinner and a few staples, two things caught my eye in the produce aisle. I recalled one of my editors telling me about Cara Cara oranges - a sweet juicy orange variety that a lot of people are buzzing about right now. So, I bagged some up. . Saturday, February 23, 2008. The truth about motherhood.

A Full Plate: June 2008
http://sarahjio.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 26, 2008. A lesson in graciousness. Today I ran into my neighbor's car. Let me paint the picture for you: screaming baby in the back, groceries in the rear, and two interviews to get to ASAP. As I tried to park in front of my house, like I always do, I cut the corner too close and . screech. My heart rate climbed to an obscene level, and I got out to survey the damage (did I mention my neighbor drives a BMW? How many times have I made someone feel bad for something silly? Is filled with go...

A Full Plate: I love Seattle--but it's time to get tough on crime
http://sarahjio.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-love-seattle-but-its-time-to-get.html
Thursday, August 21, 2008. I love Seattle- but it's time to get tough on crime. I'm writing today with some serious stuff on my mind. Last weekend, a 24-year-old woman, on her way to a job interview, was brutally raped. In broad daylight in one of Seattle's most beloved landmarks: Pike Place Market. My response? Where were the police? Where were the people- you, me, anyone- who could have helped her while she was beaten to a state of unconsciousness and raped repeatedly? What the #% &#! Time to wake up p...

A Full Plate: Where have I been?
http://sarahjio.blogspot.com/2008/12/where-have-i-been.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Where have I been? So, it's been months since I've popped onto this blog. Months. Eek Very bad blogging etiquette. But, I've been busy cooking up lots of topics each day for my new health and fitness blog. Vitamin G, over on Glamour.com. Haven't seen it yet? So where does this leave this blog? Kind of in limbo right now, I guess. I promise to post when inspiration strikes, but for now, I'm busy juggling a lot, especially with the new baby due any minute now!

A Full Plate: Learning to let go
http://sarahjio.blogspot.com/2008/08/learning-to-let-go.html
Monday, August 25, 2008. Learning to let go. I wanted to tell you about a story I wrote recently for SELF (in the current issue) about learning to let go of things we harbor- for me, the what-ifs about a failed friendship that tanked many years ago. The article was therapeutic to write, and I hope it helps you break free from whatever unhealthy thing you're hanging on to . Oh, you can read the article here. The article sounds like something I need to read. Do you know another way to link to it? And, its ...
