I'm a freelance writer and editor in the Pacific Northwest. Most of my work deals with home design and remodeling. I was a food critic for two years, which was one year too long; now I just stick with houses. I also run web sites for talented friends (julianahatfield.com, some-girls.com). I'm married to the coolest husband of them all and am mom to the best three-year-old boy in the whole world. A baby girl is on the way, which I suspect means I'm going to have to learn to like pink.
