About the author

I am a work-at-home mom to five kids. When I am not wiping butts, scrubbing dishes, doing laundry, cooking, overseeing homework, or (fill in a zillion blanks), I write here to decompress.

I love to write. Most of what I write for this blog is true... but sometimes I lie, in order to tell the real truth... know what I mean?
