My Quote
"Sit loosely in the saddle of life."
About Me
I am a 44-year-old married mom of two girls. I am a writer and marketing geek. I enjoy tennis, reality TV and writing about the insanity of modern parenting here at Family.com and on my personal blog, White Trash Mom.
White Trash Mom is going to be a book Summer 2008. I will keep you posted.
About My Family
My husband Tim and I have two daughters. "Miss Minnesota" is 10 years old. Our older daughter, "Future Filmmaker" is 14. Tim is a TV producer/director who travels a great deal for his career ... and, some say, for his sanity. We have three dogs, one cat and a very happy vet.

"Sit loosely in the saddle of life."Sites I Recommend
MIT's OpenCourseWare
http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html
Get brainier with free course materials --including some video tutorials -- from one of the nation's best universities. We love coupling a little Film Theory with a dash of Genetic Biology. After all, not everything can be celebrity gossip.
Stylehive
http://www.stylehive.com
Fashion mavens unite! This site -- a "social shopping community" -- is where members share, rate and discuss their shopping discoveries with each other. For the trendy BY the trendy, it's a great way to keep your ear close to the style ground!
Cool Mom Picks
http://www.coolmompicks.com
Instead of spending a Saturday afternoon schlepping around the mall for a baby shower gift, surf yourself over to Cool Mom Picks. Presented in a blog format, this site provides a lot of great ideas for fun, unique gifts for mom -- from melamine plates to diaper bags. They focus on unusual products from female-run companies, which we think is neat.

It has great deals with hotel chains and is excellent for business travelers. We love their newsletter and new travel guides.
