About the Author

I am Stiletto Momma.

I am momma to one daughter (known here as The Young One because she is the youngest and goes to pre-school at Kid’s Academy) and one son (known here as The Older One because he is the oldest and goes to the United States Military Academy at West Point). Their father is known here as The Hubs because he’s been my husband so long, I may have forgotten his name. The rest of the immediate family is the Furry One and the Fluffy One (my canine kids) and The MIL, who loves my sense of style so much, she moved in with the rest of us a while ago.

In my spare time, I am an internet marketing guru (self-proclaimed) who lives for a shopping spree. I have been known to accidentally program the GPS for the nearest outlet mall on the way home from business trips. I also wear the title “high maintenance” like a badge of honor and am encouraging my daughter to do the same. I’m kind of crafty and I love to cook when I have the time. I also try to squeeze a workout or two into my crazy days.

I do all this while waging battle against Crohn’s Disease. I’ve lived with Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) more than half my life and have the surgical scars to prove it. Each day brings a different challenge, but I am doing my best to live my life to the fullest and raise awareness for IBD in the process.

All in all, I’m a stylish mom and a chronic illness warrior with lots of stories to tell.
