About Me

More about Me: As a mother my day to day is spent doing laundry, cleaning, reading bedtime stories and kissing boo-boo's. Glamorous right? I'm still a dreamer, and imagine a day when I can focus on poetry and photography again. In the meantime I focus on play-dates and encouraging my daughters language development.

Favorite Music: The Fray, The Script, Taylor Swift, Lynard Skynard

Favorite Books and Writers: Billy Collins, Silvia Plath, Lamb, Happiness TM

I can't live without: My laptop, Spiced Chai, Black eyeliner, Facebook and Billy Collins

I am most proud of: Becoming a mother and walking away from a career path that would have been successful but would have made me miserable.

I am most guilty of: Not taking advantage of the education I was offered and my credit card debt.

Words I live by: Life Without Regret

The world would be a better place, if only: People read more.
