Bloggers
A New Orleans native and crawfish lover, I used to describe myself as a PR girl but now I describe myself as an avid multi-tasker, juggling my way through the day while experiencing the joys of motherhood with a marketing eye. Visit her blog.
Parenting Grace
Despite life's challenges, I try to remain positive and thankful for just how good I've got it. I am a writer and family gal from South Carolina. I have a humble musician for a husband and our adventures usually lead us somewhere off the beaten path. Currently, I live in Louisiana where I am seeking out opportunities to do what I love. Follow my blog as I stumble through my life’s most important task-parenting Grace.
