As we head into November's midterms, I'm excited to share this piece:
These 10 Moms Running for Office Need You to Vote on November 6
I've been so inspired by all of the amazing women running for office this cycle — especially some of the groundbreaking mom candidates, who have done things like changed FEC regulations to allow campaign funds to be used for childcare costs or showed breastfeeding in campaign ads.

Other than that, the holiday coverage is in full swing, so I got to do these pieces:
