Very excited to share my first piece for @washingtonpost 's On Parenting section about a topic close to my heart: friendships after kids with a bit about introversion and extroversion. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…

@MonopolyGO great job taking a new customer who really has been enjoying the game, suspending her for no reason, then making it impossible to contact customer support. I read the terms and conditions and I guarantee I didn’t break them.

I needed this laugh today. Here is the transcript of a political voicemail for the person running to be my representative in Congress. Be sure you read the end. I laughed hard, but it also feels a little too real. #payformyboat #bumgartnerforcongress #PoliticsToday

Not sure what this says about me, but I have found the perfect flavor of Barbie fanfiction and it is my new treat for getting work done.

What's a favorite food memory? Doesn't have to be fancy or cool or expensive. Most of mine aren't.

For the first time, I'm putting up a virtual tip jar. Never any pressure, but if you've ever wished you could buy me a coffee (or, let's be honest, a book), you can use this link which will live in my bio. You can support by buying a book 📖 here — buymeacoffee.com/carastrickl…

Woooo!

Do yourself a favor and follow @Cooperstreaming if you haven't already. I want to be her best friend and for us to take over the world together. #saythequietpartoutloud

@Cooperstreaming sent you a DM, also I am not a stalker/person yelling at you but a fan :)

Yesterday: a woman I didn’t know was telling me about an overwhelmed mother friend. “One of her kids is super smart and one of them is autistic.” I don’t always think well on my feet, so I mentally corrected her: both of them are autistic. Both of them are super smart.

I’ve been keeping something under a cute little hat! Today I’m soft launching my LEGO resale business, The Brick Mistress, with some truly killer deals. Come see! thebrickmistress.com

Adding folks who rep brands in the beautiful and functional children’s and home products to my PR list for my ongoing work with Apartment Therapy’s Cubby vertical. If that’s you, send me an email at [email protected]

@Xfinity my bank account was compromised last week and I called right away to try to handle the payment. Your rep told me it was fine and had been processed. Today I was slapped with a return fee and a warning about late fees. Fix this, please? I’ve already spent hours.

What are your favorite most romantic songs? I’m getting in the mood! #ameditingromance

I am having a sleep study next week and have to be off certain meds. The good news: they work. The bad news: without them I am a total mess.

If any of you struggle to “celebrate” Presidents Day. Feel free to celebrate my birthday instead. ;)

My very favorite thing about the Super Bowl is that brands can’t reference it with those words. I love giggling at the ways they try to describe it.

Celebrated signing with my fabulous new agent Michelle Jackson with some NA sparkling wine! Thank you @drinknolow! instagr.am/p/CoQK9xNvYLn/
