Hi guys! So pumped to share with you that season 2 of my podcast, Short Stories: A Podcast on Mommyhood Matters by The Shortest Tallman, is coming out next week! Monday, January 7th, 2019 to be precise! What can you expect from Season 2? Well, I plan on it being somewhat similar to season 1- so, an extension of my…

Well, this is a space I thought I’d never find myself in. The space of September approaching, and instead of having the anxiety/excitement pit in my stomach of another year beginning, an emptiness. Or, maybe it’s an oddly misplaced feeling of neutrality. Basically, it feels weird. This is what it feels like for an ex-teacher. Or at least, this ex-teacher.…

I had this sitting in draft form for a while, today I’m publishing this little nugget! As a mom, balancing my passions is always a little tricky. As far as my singing has been concerned, since college, the bulk of my singing has been at a church gig over the last ten years. I also used to teach voice lessons,…

How’s that for a title! This is a little off-beat from my usual shortesttallman.com material; I just was grooving along to some BF and felt inspired to write a post! And so we begin… It’s ridiculous, really, to even consider picking a favorite musical artist. I have favorites in each genre, and I have genres I listen to more than…

A part of my identity is my music, despite this being my first (and only thus far) blog post about it! The MOM and WORK hats have dominated my life for the last few years, but deep down inside is soprano Maggie. I’m working on a Mozart piece to sing at Mass this weekend (yes, my organist likes to exploit…
