About Me
I am so excited to be starting this new blog about being a mom! I want this to be a place where I can talk about my mommy experiences, and to share a bit of what I have learned through raising my son, my job and education.
A little bit about ME. I am married to a wonderful man, and we have a very energetic 22 month old boy. I absolutely adore my family, and I love being a mom.
I have a master’s degree in Nursing, and my advanced practice nurse practitioner license. I am employed as an emergency department nurse practitioner.
My life before my son, was spent being active and competing in triathlons. I enjoyed working out, and now struggle to find the time in the day for myself to stay fit with a toddler in tow. However, I felt this was one goal I was not going to compromise on, I enjoy working out and competing in triathlons too much!
The purpose of my blog is three fold:
1) To share information for parents to help make their lives easier and more enjoyable. I enjoy being a mommy, and I am learning through my son, and other parents every day. I am by no means an expert, so I hope to learn as I create this blog.
2) Since I work in an emergency department, I find myself being nurse practitioner-mom to friends and family, so why not share tidbits about pediatric healthcare. We all have those what to do moments, when our child is sick.
3) I hope to provide motivation for all moms to include exercise and fitness into their daily routines.

I was happy to discover your blog today. I was unable to find a contact link. I hope it’s OK that I’m contacting you through a public comment. I’ve developed an educational program for Windows called SpellQuizzer that helps children learn their spelling and vocabulary words without the battle that parents often have getting them to sit down and write them out while the parents dictate to them. The parent enters the child’s spelling words into the software making a sound recording of each word. Then the software helps the child practice his or her words. It really helped my children with their weekly spelling lists.
I would love to have SpellQuizzer reviewed in Life of a Modern Mom. If you are interested in hosting a giveaway of a SpellQuizzer license I’d be happy to supply a free license to the winner. You can learn more about the program at http://www.SpellQuizzer.com. There’s a video demo you can watch at http://www.spellquizzer.com/SpellQuizzer-Demo.htm and a community site where SpellQuizzer users can share their spelling lists with one another (www.SpellQuizzer.com/Community). Finally, there’s a page targeted to homeschooling families at http://www.spellquizzer.com/spelling-software-for-homeschoolers.htm. I’d be happy to send you a complimentary license for the software. Please let me know if you are interested.
Thank you very much!
