Chicgaoland

I used to live in heels and dream of traveling the world, now I live in my minivan and dream of a clean kitchen.

Motherhood is Sticky, so I write. You can enjoy the mess at Peanut Butter in my Hair and on ChicagoParent.com.

When I moved to the suburbs I learned, you don't always have to go to the city to have fun. So I created Little Lake County. I also write about things to do for families in Lake County for The Lake County Journal.

My essay's have been featured on Mamapedia and in the book "From the Heart".
