I'm a Mediocre Mom, and that's fine by me. Sometimes I excel. Sometimes I fail. But almost always, I strike it right down the middle. I love finding the humor in raising my two kids and sharing those moments, through stories, with others. We moms have to stick together. And when I'm not writing about my parenting skills (or lack thereof), I'm writing about more professional themes. I have my own little writing and editing business that I operate from my home, helping companies communicate via websites, newsletters, blogs and much more. Oh, and I'm married to my college sweetheart, who also writes for a living. Only his focus is all sports.
