I’m a city mama at heart navigating the culture shock of moving to suburbia so my husband could spend more time with the kids and less time in the car. I left a career in healthcare to tend to scraped knees and snotty noses and find it just as gross but more rewarding.
I have three children at home, one in heaven, and am married to a super hero of a husband. I write about all the sticky bits of motherhood from PPD and miscarriage to sleepless nights and picky eaters. I have been known to attempt poetry and fiction as well as the occasionally snarky take on my new suburban home.
When not writing on my blog or wasting time on twitter I manage Little Lake County and occasionally write for Technorati. I do anything to avoid housework, unless it’s polishing my crown (I’m the reigning Queen of Un-domestic Bliss). I enjoy crafting, sewing, yoga and running (with dreams of one day running in the Chicago Marathon). I believe super mom is a fictional character and try hard to be the best Mom/Wife/Person I can be everyday, even if some days that’s messier than others. Life is crazy and sticky but oh so blessed!
