We’re here in Columbia covering Biden’s visit to SC State. Follow along with me and Devyani Chhetri (ft. Meg Kinnard in the background - a whole mood)

Cora is getting ready for her first Denver Downs Christmas parade. #DenverDowns

Fireworks have always been hard for our household because our golden retriever is afraid. Now, we also have a baby. We were up with them both at 1 a.m. as neighbors shot off fireworks. Now, more. Wherever you are, please consider your neighbors. It’s not New Year’s Eve anymore.

I’m leaving ⁦⁦The Greenville News⁩ this month so I can spend a year with this girl — my sweet baby daughter. My husband, ⁦Kirk Brown⁩, has gotten a job outside journalism that will allow us to take on this adventure. Please support good journalism. I know we will.

Anyone else have “maybe you could be a purple monkey in a bubblegum tree” stuck in your head today from listening to the baby play mat songs? No? Just me? Cool cool.

Cora is game ready. #GoHeels

Mamas. ❤️
