5 Things about this mom...

1. I have my motorcycle license but don't own a motorcycle.
2. My favorite romantic movie is Brokeback Mountain (it's my partner's favorite too).
3. I want to live in New Mexico sometime in the next 20 years. I live near Philadelphia now.
4. My father is a alcoholic (sometimes a recovering one). His addiction has been one of the most difficult obstacles in my life. We are working on having a healthy adult relationship.
5. I love road trips. I don't care whether its 25 miles or 2000 miles. I prefer to be the navigator, but love driving the open road too. I went cross country in a 1971 Ford Club Wagon with my best girlfriend right after college. We traveled a road trip from coast to coast over the course of 2 months. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Right up there with falling in love and having my son.
   

In case you're wondering who I am....

Why do I blog? I started Think Mama Think because I wanted to share news, insights and personal stories with other mothers who think about more than just JLo's twins and where to buy Robeez cheap. This blog is a deposit of my own stories from motherhood and a collection of news, blog posts, and essays that shed some light on motherhood or the state of women today.

Who am I? Well, I'm a mother of an almost two year old son and partner to a supportive and loving man (for over five years now). We all live in the suburbs of Philadelphia with our two naughty cats. I am currently at home full time, with occasional editing freelance works. In my pre-motherhood life I worked in the HIV/AIDS community, doing administrative work and a little grant writing. I have lived in the Philadelphia area most of my life, but have also lived in Washington DC and the suburbs of Atlanta. I have visited over 40 of our beautiful United States and can't wait to see them all, especially Alaska and Hawaii. On a good day I enjoy a good book, have a good laugh with a friend, take a walk with my boy, and snuggle with my honey. I am dabbling in photography and my boy is my favorite subject.
