About The Queen

‘Burbs of Detroit–>Los Angeles, California (since ‘99) and loving the lack of snow, but missing my hockey team.

Worked as an anchor and reporter (WDBO, KFWB, etc. etc.) until this guy knocked me up.

We live with our two kids in burbs of Los Angeles where I am the Election ‘08 producer, BlogHer in Second Life producer, and BlogHer’s Act project manager for BlogHer.com, I write for the Huffington Post, and MOMocrats. All from home and all without with a part-time babysitter.

I’ve interviewed hundreds of political officials, celebrities, talking heads, idiots, and even some super cool human beings. I’ve traveled. I’ve seen too much. And I’m now content to stay in my culs de sac-mostly anyway…unless the kids are making me pull my hair out.

My blog is very much an open book on my life. Nothing is off limits (much to the dismay of my family and friends) and nothing is censored. I write about my struggle with PostPartum (yes, it’s very real) my sex life after kids(also very real, heh) , and my habit of bringing up controversial subjects you are all thinking about but dare not write or say.

I love to mouth off and I find comfort in this community of Moms and parents. They are my virtual cup of sugar and global community. Gone are the days were neighbors borrow an egg in a pinch and here are the days where the grandparents and grandkids connect via webcam chat.
