My expertise lies in writing in a way that makes readers laugh (usually at my expense) while also giving them some juicy tips on what's new out in the world to do and try. I love to inform and enlighten in a way that isn't preachy. I simplify ideas, offer plausible solutions to common problems and create realistic solutions with my signature dry wit.I am a weekly newspaper columnist, published author in national and local magazines, and work in a profession that forces me to expand my horizons, explore new things each day and continually stay on the cutting edge of what's hot and what's not. Yup, I'm a mom.
