I am a writer, an ellipticizer, a mother, a wife, a lion-tamer, a diet coke quitter, a juggler, a getter-of-drinks. I drink my coffee a little sweet and a little light. I like the smell of clean sheets and the feel of almost everything from anthropologie. I chew minty gum and love history more than the average person should, really. I am an expert in the art of time suckage. I like to quote movies, eat cookie dough, and read. I love Jon Hamm and I miss LOST. I wear confidence glasses and was raised by my television set. I wish I could rid the world of LOLspeak and wearing leggings as pants. I am Canada’s Emma Pillsbury and Annie Edison and my children tell me that I am a DOF (destroyer of fun). I am learning to use my camera better and love my thighs more. I am the new editor-in-chief at YMC, and a helper-with-homework and expert snuggler by night.

About my kids: 
I am raising one hip-hop dancing actress, one Harry Potter-loving, baseball-playing math whiz, and one tutu-wearing artist. I am truly the luckiest mama in the world.
Parenting is...: 
like making pancakes. You usually mess up the first couple, but then by the third you sort of get the hang of it ;)
We know you don't have a lot, but when you do, what do you like to do in your spare time?: 
I like to break in new jeans, embarrass my children with my public singing, try to teach the world that leggings are not pants, and drink coffees bigger than my head.
When are you at your yummiest?: 
I am at my yummiest when I'm dressed like Betty Draper.
If someone wrote a biography about you, what would be the title?: 
Mama in a Hoodie and Yoga Pants; Lady in a Day Dress and Pearls.
What's currently in your purse?: 
4 of the exact same shade of lipgloss, three tampons, Vanilla Bean Noel body lotion, Tic Tacs, a wallet with two many coins in it (and not enough bills), and a Menchie's gift card.
What superhero power would you like to have?: 
Time-Freezing. No question.
If we gave you an elephant, where would you hide it?: 
Behind my sarcasm.
