About Me
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.

I only have a moment, so please don’t quote, but my worst parenting advice came from my mother-in-law. Her convictions about the “normalcy” of bottle-feeding were the primary reason I switched my oldest child from breast to bottle by the time he was six months old.
With my second baby, I had grown more stubborn and confident as a mother, and I *never* gave him a bottle or pacifier. I think it’s a shame when the older generation inflicts its parenting deficiencies upon new mothers.
