Does your plant need a nanny? My first story for the New York Times (Style section), out in print today, helps answer that question. It’s been such a thrilling process—from finding the idea to pitching to edits to publication. I’ve loved it and can’t wait to do it again! It was also terrific to connect with sources around the country (& even in the U.K.) about such a fun, happy topic. (Also, get you a friend like @laurenfinneyharden who will pick up copies and text you pictures when your big story prints while you’re out of the country!) Plus, swipe to see the USA Today Home magazine cover story I wrote about Drew and Jonathan Scott, better known as the Property Brothers (for anyone wondering, they’re as friendly and funny as they are on TV) and another feature in a special USA Today edition on Christian high school education.
