Sarah Preston Gorenstein is a magazine writer, editor, journalist, and digital content producer…when she’s not navigating the rough terrain of Working Motherhood. A former nightlife columnist and dating blogger for Chicago magazine, Sarah reinvented herself when she became a mom in 2009 and began chronicling her new life for The Parenting Post, blogging about all the issues that plague working moms today. She was a new mom while simultaneously serving as the full-time managing editor of Playboy.com. She worked for Playboy for nearly a decade, which never ceases to provide her with colorful material for her writing.

Sarah’s the beaming mom of a happy two-year-old named Preston, and just as she finally felt settled into motherhood she took on her hardest project yet—trying to conceive baby no. 2. Tune in to the Fertility Files every other day to read about Sarah’s personal, and often painful, journey going through secondary infertility.

 If you want to read more about Sarah and her adventures in parenthood, see an archive of Parenting Posts below. She also blogs regularly on her personal site here (www.thecosmomom.com), where she holds absolutely nothing back. Ever.
