Author Profile: 

Always on the run - sometimes in birkenstocks and other times in high heels, I try to keep life fun and always full of surprises. I've traded off a clean home and clean car for some happy kids, hubby, 2 crazy felines and semi-organized madness, and I wouldn't have it any other way. A writer by day, a mom/wife/cleaner/painter/fixer/plumber/chef/storyteller/dream-maker by night, you can usually find me at the beach or the drive-in when I'm not at one of the neighbourhood parks or the office. 

About my kids: 
My boys are 6 & 4, and a delight (and a challenge!). I never realized parenting would be as much about what you learn from your kids as it is about what you teach them.
Parenting is...: 
a journey and a gift.
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... I'm trying to remember what spare time is, and what I used to do with it. I'm pretty sure I used to like to read, bike, write, shop, bake and entertain. Now I use any spare time to bathe.
When are you at your yummiest?: 
I'm always yummy. I'm particularly yummy when I'm on the highway and the music is loud, and fabulously yummy when I wake up to both kids snuggling with my husband and me.
If someone wrote a biography about you, what would be the title?: 
Taking over the world, one playground at a time
What's currently in your purse?: 
Wallet, lipstick, inhaler, 2 pens, 3 markers, a little baggie of wet wipes, a card holder, sunglasses, a bracelet, tweezers, mirror, loads of receipts, a 2-day-old muffin, keys, a small bag of nuts, tampons and a sticky note pad. It's a good day, I cleaned out my purse on the weekend.
What superhero power would you like to have?: 
superspeed
If we gave you an elephant, where would you hide it?: 
The pantry. Like everything else nobody can find in my house, nobody would ever think to look there.
