About Me

I’m a former writer turned mom trying to learn to cook real food without burning our home down. Recent accomplishments: three wonderful children and a shower. Former accomplishments: author of 52 Fights (Penguin/Berkley), a consultant on its ABC pilot, and a firm stomach.
I also write for More.com.

Just had to post something…a FB friend had a link to your blog. I loved the Dr. Phil spot! My family and I live in Ithaca and moved here two years ago. We moved from Minneapolis. Kind of the opposite of you…I think you live in Minneapolis and are from Ithaca originally. Small world! I miss Minnesota, but Ithaca is very similar in many ways to our old neighborhood in Minneapolis. I enjoyed reading your blog. Thanks!
Hahah – you and I completely have the same goals!
Hi, just tried subscribing to your RSS feed and it wasn’t working. Good luck (I have no idea how to fix those)….let me know b/c I think I’d really like finding you in my inbox!
And thanks for coming by my blog.

I forgot to tell you what a sweetie you have there!
I can’t have children biologically but my God sized Dream is to adopt one day!
Give that little one a big hug for me from God.
