About

While pregnant with Child No. 1, when my Mommy senses kicked into high gear, I ate, slept and breathed all things mom, dad and baby.

More children came – four more, actually.  It was only a matter of time before my two passions, parenting and writing, merged. Thus, that became my “beat.”

I’m a veteran journalist who’s old enough to remember when newspapers were pasted up in the composing room but hip enough to know the latest trends in Web and print media.

I’ve worked for the Times-Picayune in New Orleans, The Dallas Morning News, Arlington Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

I’m equal parts writer and editor, which means I let my creative juices flow but I clean as I go. You can find my professional portfolio here.

I’m Texas-based, Louisiana-bred and passionate about my faith, the Dallas Cowboys, my husband, and our five kiddos (not necessarily in that order).
