TwitterMom of the Week: Meet Sara Au!

Please give a warm TwitterMoms welcome to Sara Au, 38, a married mom of two living in sunny Orlando, Florida! Sara is a full-time grantwriter/PR specialist for the Girl Scouts of Citrus Council, and also the author of a parenting book (Stress-Free Potty Training) and co-host of a parenting podcast (The Real Parenting Show).

"My greatest passion is empowering parents (including myself) to find joy in the hardest job they'll ever love without sweating the small stuff," says Sara.

What drives you crazy?
"Tags sticking up in the backs of shirts, when my kids aren't nice to each other."

Favorite things?
"Chocolate, handprint pictures by the kids, belly laughs, chocolate, lazy mornings with all four of us in bed having tickle fights... oh, and chocolate!"

What fun things do you like to do with your family?
"Go to SeaWorld, Disneyworld -- we do live in Orlando, after all! But we also enjoy just swimming at the pool, playing on the playground, going for a bike ride."

What celebrity would you most like to meet?
"I've met a bunch (in my previous life, Before Children, I worked in entertainment news in Los Angeles), so don't have much interest in meeting a current celebrity. But I would have loved to have met Mother Theresa when she was alive, or Ghandi or Martin Luther King, Jr. -- someone who really changed the world by the power of their convictions!"
