I’m Angela, a freelance writer and public relations specialist who grew up in Denver in the 70’s and 80’s. I watched A LOT of TV! I was an avid Days of our Lives watcher by 10 years-old, and you couldn’t tear me away from my nightly dramas, Dallas, Dynasty and Knots Landing were my drug of choice. I know who shot J.R., and I dreamed of one day being a real life Pamela Ewing.
I listened to a lot of ABBA, Olivia Newton-John, and Kiss records. By the time cassette tapes were invented, I was a Madonna Wanna Be through and through. My favorite authors were Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, and E.B. White. While I love all things pop culture, movies are my favorite. I saw the first {yes, it is the first} Star Wars in the theatre when I was 5-years-old. The Muppets, Grease, and anything Disney gave way to Top Gun, Can’t Buy Me Love, and anything John Hughes.
I’m mom to a sassy 9-year-old, and one of the best parts about being a mom is sharing all of my childhood favorites with my daughter! Ok, not all. While I was watching Kramer vs. Kramer when I was in first grade, she’s a little more sheltered than that. But hey, it was the 70’s. We love “vintage” movie nights and she’s been exposed to a vast amount of music, Madge included. Her favorite authors are Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, and Roald Dahl.
My blog is about being a mom, but I’m so much more than that. I share meals that work for my family because I have a picky eater, and to be honest, I’m not the best cook. So if it works, I’ll let you know. I am a reluctant crafter, but I own a glue gun, so that counts, right? I love Pinterest, but hate how it can put unrealistic expectations on mothers.
I’m a beer, wine, and Moscow Mule drinker. And I love to shop. For me, for you, for my daughter, and for my house. My house isn’t always clean and I’m not always in a good mood, but I like to keep things real.
I write for SheKnows and Red Tricycle, and I currently work a red carpet or two. If you’d like to get a feel for my blog, be sure to read:
