The Best Laid Plans

When one spouse travels full-time, absence really does make the heart grow fonder. And sexting doesn’t hurt, either.

Fort Collins Magazine, Nov 2018

"I regularly hire Toni to write educational blog content for my website, Woo! Jr. Kids Activities. Above all, I am impressed with Toni’s ability to create compelling lesson plans that have really resonated with our readers. Several of her pieces have attracted natural, high-quality links and large numbers of social shares."

I love stories.

Few things are more satisfying to me than telling a story as a way to impact the people and circumstances around me. Sometimes that takes the form of a feature on the challenges of family trips when you have a child with disabilities. Sometimes it's a profile on an innovative teacher who's changing kids' lives. Occasionally it might be an in-depth review of outdoor gear for plus-size women, or an essay on recognizing and honoring a change in ourselves that sets us off in a direction we didn't expect. Even product stories, launch stories, and stories about how technology is shaping our lives. I'd love to hear yours, and help you tell it to others.
