About Me

I’ve been a tour guide in the Soviet Union, a newspaper reporter in Florida; an editor/writer/magazine publisher in Russia; a marketing director for Men's Health; a book reviewer for USAToday; and am currently a consultant for the United Nations Development Program. I'm a married mother of two living in a suburban house with a piano, a dog, and a refrigerator held together by a bungee cord. Unlike the people in charge of my children’s school, I think kids should be allowed to play on monkey bars even though some slip off and get hurt. Parenting is not an extreme sport; this blog is about trying to find balance.
