Parenting Left of the Middle

Welcome to my website! I'm a west coast mom living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I blog about parenting my fierce and fuzzy child Jack. I don't prescribe to any particular parenting methods - I'm a bit left of the middle!

Join me on my journey as I find my footing as a working mother and, as of 2012, a caregiver to a child with Leukemia.

I'm an editor at Band Back Together, which offers support and resources for all life throws at us. Together we can kick stigma's ass!

I've been featured on My Postpartum Voice and in the BlogHer Moms section on BlogHer.
