Lila Harper
Lila is a passionate writer and journalist, as well as a devoted mother to her incredibly clever and endearing little one. Since joining the team at Home Insemination Kit in 2019, she has taken on various roles, exploring topics such as mental and physical health, trending lifestyle news, quirky and tasty product launches, and practical parenting tips. Lila loves to challenge popular TikTok advice and her favorite areas of focus include entertainment, travel, food, and parenting.
While pursuing her journalism degree at the University of Cincinnati, Lila discovered a unique hobby: following bands around the globe. This adventurous spirit led her to secure a position as a music intern at CityBeat, a local alternative newspaper, where she continues to contribute. She later served as the TV Editor at SheKnows, where she occasionally reported on celebrity news and handled sponsored content. Throughout her extensive career in entertainment journalism, Lila has covered a wide array of events including comic cons, award shows, television premieres, and set visits. Her work has also appeared in publications like Bridal Guide, Yahoo, HuffPost, TheDad, and Cleveland Scene.
Currently, Lila works from home, balancing her freelance writing career with her delightful kitchen musical performances. If you haven’t experienced her operatic version of “The Excavator Song” from Blippi, consider yourself fortunate. She enjoys taking her sweet time finishing books, meticulously planning road trips she might never embark on, and decorating her charming Craftsman Bungalow. Speaking of which, you’ll often find her handwashing dishes in her kitchen that lacks a dishwasher. If you appreciate her writing, please send paper plates!
