About Me
- MSP
- I'm a beauty editor turned freelance writer and stay-at-home mom (marissastapley.com/sageandlola.com). Most people think I'm funny, other people think I'm not and the odd person thinks I'm hilariously witty and should have my own show and bestselling book series. These people are either related to me, contractually bound to me, or my best friend. If a person walks past my kids on the street and doesn't give them a look that says, "Wow, those are some cute kids" I assume they're dead inside. I haven't bought a box of of plastic baggies since 2009, but I often steal them when I'm at my mom's house. I will never get over the fact that Gilmore Girls is no longer on television and that ASP didn't write the last season. I generally only cry when I'm alone. I take almost everything out on my husband, and he loves me anyway. Now that I don't go to an office every day, the number of pumps I own makes no sense. My daughter's favourite outfit is a pink batgirl costume and sometimes, she strokes my hair and says, "Mommy, I love you. You're so stylish and intelligent." My son's teacher recently thanked me for having him, because he's so awesome. That's a true story, and so are all of these.

This weekend I read this article in The Globe and Mail by Ian Brown and it inspired me to believe in the future, and in my kids, and in their intelligence, and in their generation. It's going to be okay. My kids are still going to read. Books, even. Who cares if they're e-books? Although I also hope they cherish beautiful books and silly books and just books in general, the way I do. But even if they don't, I'm sure of this: they're going to cherish words. And that's just fine.
