I first *met* Susan, WhyMommy in July, 2007. We attended BlogHer virtually through Second Life. She had been going through chemo and was too weak to attend BlogHer in person, I? Was too chicken shit.

In 2006, when I began this site, you would have found me sharing a lot about my struggles as a new parent. Since my kids have both made it through the first few years, relatively unscathed, this space has transitioned into one where I now share my challenges as a runner, home renovator, and a working mom.
