About Me

I’m the mother of two wonderful boys, Sam and Jack, and we live in the great city of Austin with our 17-year old cat Dickens who will never die. Most of the time I can be found either near the 50% off racks at Target, or on the couch yelling at people on reality TV to pull their heads out. It really depends on the day. I’m a busy woman.

In my previous life, I worked in advertising and in the movie business in L.A., but then I had kids and stopped contributing to society. In the past couple years, I’ve written stuff for mcweeneys.net, freshyarn.com, parentwise:austin, KUT, HybridMom, some sketch comedy, an unproduced screenplay and now Austin Woman Magazine is letting me write a column for them every other month.(Suckers.)

Oh, I’m also busy writing my first book, which will hopefully someday be published by someone other than my husband.

I usually post here just once a week, and it’s a little unpredictable, so if you don’t want to miss any of the excitement, subscribe to my feed and you’ll get an email when I put up something new. And just in case you can’t get enough of me, and really, who can’t, I’m also found at www.themouthyhousewives.com where I dish out advice using my fake psychology degree from Harvard.

Thanks so much for reading!
