While pregnant with Child No. 1, when my "Mommy senses" kicked into high gear, I ate, slept and breathed all things mom, dad and baby. More children came – three more, to be exact. And it was only a matter of time before my two passions, parenting and writing, merged. Thus, that became my "beat."
I am a journalist by trade, having worked for the Times-Picayune in New Orleans, The Dallas Morning News, Arlington Morning News (TX) and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. I also dabbled in copywriting at J.C. Penney's corporate headquarters in Plano, Texas.
My column about stay-at-home parenting appears regularly at themombeat.com. My articles have appeared in publications and Web sites from Hawaii to Canada to the Middle East.
A native of Shreveport, Louisiana, I live in Texas with my husband Matt, who is an award-winning artist and interactive-graphics genius (Sure, I'm biased, but the proof is in the portfolio). We have four children, who range from college-age to Troublesome Three.
