"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.
