My First Feature on Scary Mommy | Why I Kept My Maiden Name

by

Why I Kept My Maiden Name - Featured on Scary Mommy

I’m excited to have my first article featured on Scary Mommy today!

I’ve long been a fan of Scary Mommy for their blunt honesty and irreverent humor. Sometimes you just want someone to tell it like it is – and their writers don’t disappoint!

My article is a response to a question that I have been receiving for close to 12 years as a married woman:

Why didn’t you take your husband’s last name?

I’m hoping that the piece, 9 Reasons I Didn’t Take My Husband’s Last Name, clears up the confusion once and for all.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts on the topic!
