About

I’m a young mother blogging from my basement apartment. Sounds familiar right?

However before you put me in a box with typical ‘Mommy Blogs,’ take a look. You wont find pictures of my adorable child or questions about solid foods, naps and Pinterest recipes. I have another blog for that. Rather, this is my naptime escape to discuss more adult topics like politics, religion and culture.

 Here’s four things about me that have a huge influence on this blog.

#1 I’m a Mormon.

I grew up in a conservative family that didn’t drink Coke, who went to church every Sunday and believes we can be a family forever. I’m proud to be a Christian.

#2 I love politics.

My fascination with our Constitution started in middle school. I later joined the debate team and I would bring home resolutions to talk over with my dad at the dinner table. In college I started out with a degree in international policy, and while I changed directions I maintained my fascination with statecraft.

#3 I’m in advertising.

What? One of the most liberal careers in the U.S.? That’s right, I’m fascinated by pop culture and ‘viral’-ness. I love a great ad campaign and I find this medium super powerful.  I work in account management and social media consulting.

#4 I’m a mother.

Becoming a mom was a choice. A difficult choice for me, but the right one. For now, I’ve put what could have been a very illustrious communications career on hold and I spend most of my time taking care of an infant. Why? Because I think it’s important.

Have questions? Have topics we should discuss? Let me know in the comments, I’m up for ideas. Just be aware that I like to think through what I post, so it may be a little while before you see a response. Just stay tuned.
