Me

Welcome to The Mamma Mia Blog & My Life

Born and raised just outside of Pittsburgh (by absolutely wonderful parents)… I escaped to the Florida sun after college. I always thought Florida was just a “stop off “on my way to the place I’d live forever. Ten years later, I’m still here and I can’t ever imagine leaving my sandy beaches and swaying palm trees. Plus, this little family I created is pretty darn cool. I would however like to trade off some of this humidity with my second favorite city, San Diego.

I’m known as Mom and Ma-Ma to Mia and Charli (5 and 9 months) and Amanda (not step-mom… that sounds like Cinderella) to a lovely young lady named Madi (11). I’m known as “love of my life” to an amazing man named Marcus, who likes to be shielded by the papparazzi unlike myself.

I am a writer at heart, but I do a lot of things besides write. With a degree in journalism (which obviously means I’m on top of every breaking news story), eight years in travel and leisure publicity,  a year (so far) in the health/nutrition world and my most valuable experience – mom of two girls…. I’m thinking I can offer some kind of insight.

Besides hanging out with my brood, I enjoy taking ballet classes, swimming, paddleboarding, reading, tweeting, traveling, eating (sushi in particular) and shopping.
