About Me & Laugh Out Loud Mom

How it all began…For the past 10 years I’ve been writing a weekly email column called “My Thoughts” for about 10,000 moms & dads on KidsEvents.com.  I'm told its something you can easily read while sitting on the toilet with kids banging on the bathroom door - a so-called sanity saver.

For me, "writing stuff" started out as a great excuse for not going to the gym.  Lot's of people don't like going to the gym, mostly because it almost never acheives the desired effect - of turning us into super models. I rely on writing to keep in shape - intense bursts of keyboarding combined with isometric butt clenches are surprisingly effective.  Putting pen to paper holds the additional challenge of forcing me to communicate coherently with the world at large.  Unlike the conversations I might have with a 2-year old, or with my husband who occasionally acts like one. 

Anyway, one of the BEST parts of writing for other moms is getting email from them. (Especially from the moms who seem to be on the same nutty "page" as myself, not the real crackpots.)  You know, we moms ARE pretty much living the same life - just with different husbands, houses, kids, and bank accounts. And what we REALLY NEED (no honey, not another thong) is to laugh about it more.

I recently decided to work less and write more...and give my "ramblings" an identity of their own.  My column has a new name "The Weekly Chuckle" and a new home, Laugh Out Loud Mom.  If you enjoy it, pass it forward!
