- A little about yourself...
- In the business world, I am the creator and editor of Root & Sprout, a parenting website established May 2008. I'm also the administrator of Grow Together, Root & Sprout's social-networking site located at http://www.GrowTogether.ning.com.
My husband and I, who've been married 10 years, have three children: Hannah (9), Jacob (7) and Bridget (3). Like most kids, they keep me on my toes.
I am currently working on editing an adult fiction book that I began writing in November 2008, and writing the first-in-series of young-adult fiction books. I enjoy gardening and just hanging out at home with my family in my spare time.

About Root & Sprout
Readers of the Root & Sprout parenting resource website believe the relationship between parent and child is one that grows through mutual love and respect. With gentle, hands-on parenting, we can give our children the foundational roots to help them sprout.
Root & Sprout publishes 1 to 2 new articles daily on topics of interest to parents that span pregnancy through the teen years. And because all article topics are selected and written by the Root & Sprout audience, readers get the information that matters most to them presented in a friendly and informative format.

Reform
My seven-year-old son, Jacob, recently spent a few days with his grandparents. My in-laws are some of the most patient and kid-friendly people I have ever met, and they are lovely individuals. They also have very good intentions and want only the best for their grandchildren.
For those who don't know, I should preface this post with the explanation that Jacob has Sensory Processing Disorder. While the disorder manifests differently in each individual, Jacob is most sensitive to food textures (a… Continue

That Thing Called "Balance"
It just doesn't exist.
I can't believe I'm about to admit this because it goes against how I'd normally behave, but I worked through dinner the other night. And it wasn't as though I was working in the next room. My "office" is currently my dining room table, so I sat in front of my laptop (dinner perched precariously on legs) while my husband and three children ate around me. What's worse, I was fully aware of the sideways glances from all of them. I could just hear their silent questioning, "… Continue
