My Quote

"Your children are only little once, so make the most of this time before they're too cool to be seen with you."

About Me

I'm a 30-year-old mom of two daughters. In my rare spare time, I like to knit, write and watch period costume dramas. You can also find me at my personal blog, A Mommy Story.

About My Family

I'm married to an actor/writer/stage combat choreographer, and we have one 2-year-old daughter, Cordelia. Our second daughter, Mira, arrived May 27.
