About the Author

I could write some eloquent, well-worded biography. But I’m a tired, sleep-deprived Mom to two active boys. I work at home, writing in various capacities and trying to sort my way through loads and loads of laundry. I am married to a professional fire fighter so I also spend some time listening to the scanner and telling myself not to worry but worrying all the same. I have hobbies like reading, photography and basically being outdoors.

And I’m a birth mother. That’s what this blog is about.
