What do you call a community of some 40,000 women who support each other? SITS!
Just like the name says, the secret is in support. Each day, the site features a blogger, and today’s my day.
Those of you who are new to Tragic Sandwich may be wondering what’s up with my name. You can find that on my About page.
So who am I?
- I’m a 40-something writer/editor/social media marketer with a husband (Mr. Sandwich) and one daughter (Baguette).
- I’ve lived all over the country, but have been in L.A. since Mr. Sandwich and I got married in 2004. We have a dog named Wicket who adopted us a few months before Baguette was born, and we love reading, TV, movies, travel, and the outdoors.
- I like to cook, but I rarely have time–I’m not even able to pull together slow-cooker meals as consistently as I’d like. Simple and fast are key these days.
This blog is about our daily life–things we do, and things I think about. If you’d like to take a look around, here are a few recent-ish posts to get you started:
Tales of the Dragon Mother–I’ve always been fight-y, but motherhood means that my ferocity sometimes surprises even me.
All the Single Ladies–I’m not a single mother, but I think society should stop giving them grief and start giving them more support. Because this job is hard.
It’s Not Rat Poison–Everybody calm down. It’s just formula, and it’s fine.
Guest Post: Mr. Sandwich–Our marriage is based on teamwork and mutual respect, and that extends to my blog. I can’t leave out this post!
Work-Life Balance–I think this sums it up.
Thanks for stopping by–I hope you’ll come back! And please feel free to comment wherever you’d like. I’m always open to civil discourse, regardless of whether we agree with one another!

Hey, congratulations, lady! I haven’t poked around on the ol’ SITS forums for a while … maybe I should do that. But I can say I knew you before you were all famous and stuff!
Thanks! It’s heady to be a superstar. Which I learned from Rob Lowe.
He’s both wise and beautiful.
Happy SITS day! I absolutely LOVE that you nicknamed your daughter Baguette for your blog. Now I envision you toting a giant loaf of bread everywhere, with its wee head poking over your shoulder (face markered in).
Shortly after she was born, a new Whole Foods opened up. I took her to their grand opening, but we not one of the first 50 visitors who got free baguettes. Good thing I brought my own!
Enjoy your day in the SITS spotlight!
Thanks!
Good morning to you! I love the nicknames – Mr. Sandwich & Baguette – so cute! Happy SITS day.

Happy SITS Day !!

Happy SITS Day! I just found out about SITS today, so what a lovely introduction it was to find your wonderful blog! Congratulations!! 🙂
Thanks! I’ve found a lot of great blogs through SITS; I hope you do, too!
Happy SITS day!! I love Rob Lowe..he’s like Patrick Dempsey, I feel like the original fan because I loved their movies in the 80s and now EVERYONE loves them. Seth Green too, because I was totally into him when he was the red headed geek sidekick in a bunch of barely seen movies..then ee became famous after he was on Buffy. *sigh* 😉
Seth Green is always surprising me by popping up in old movies!
Happy SITS Day!
Thanks! It’s very gratifying.

Oh, HI!!! So sorry I’m late to the party… but I wanted to be sure to wish you a very happy SITS day. Hope you enjoyed your day in the spotlight and picked up some new readers. Love the name of your blog. Off to check out your “All the Single Ladies” post. As someone who got her start as a dating/relationship blogger, I’m always interested in topics that pertain to single women 🙂 Hope you are enjoying your summer! XOXO
Thanks! I’m married and what I write is based on my personal perspective, so I’m not sure that I have a lot here specifically for single women–but please feel free to poke around as much as you like.
