...a weekly column about issues and experiences that affect families and shape communities.
Since 2004, Marybeth has written a weekly feature for The Washington Times called "Then again..." sharing her cut-to-the-chase style and common sense world. As a wife of 21 years and mother of four children from sixth grade to college, Marybeth's column is full of observations about families and our culture, topics that concern us all. She uses her feature to engage, inspire, challenge, amuse and entertain.
Having spent her professional years as a marketing communications writer, Marybeth brings a wealth of writing experience to her feature. Her style is direct and funny, easy to read and highly accessible. She captures readers' attention to spark critical thinking and conversation. Her goal is to invite readers to reconsider their own opinions... thus the title, "then again..."

WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING
"Marybeth Hicks offers keen insights on parenting in the trenches. She brings experience, wit and understanding to universal problems facing families today."
Maria Stainer
Assistant managing editor of The Washington Times
"Marybeth Hicks writes with an insight and compassion that reflects the heart of every mom - she says the things the rest of us are thinking, but can't quite find the words to do it all justice. Family life is filled with so many moments...funny, poignant, crazy, touching...and ever-changing! Marybeth catches it all. It's nice to have someone like Marybeth Hicks along on the journey. She never ceases to make me smile!".
