About Me



First and foremost, I'm a mom (and couldn't be more proud of my girls) and a wife (to my wonderful Jon). We are richly blessed with our chaotically beautiful household: more friends, more events, more games, more meets, more pets, more decibels, more activity = more JOY! I love every minute of our existence. I'm a successful freelance advertising copywriter, and proud to say that I write so much, both for pay and for fun, that I wear the tops off computer keys like they're the soles of boots ( of which I've also worn out plenty as both a competitive equestrienne and a daily barn grunt). Life is an incredible gift.
BEST PARENTAL FEEDBACK EVER: "You're the Sandy to my Cohen." (note excerpt from Bex to me, May 2006.) I love you always and forever, B!
LIKE THIS VOICE you're hearing? That's my buddy Craig Woods singing. Isn't he awesome?
