I'm a twenty-something wife to the geekiest redhead I know and a mom to a one-year-old son, Kyle, who proves every cheesy parenting cliche ever written to be true.

I spend my days marketing books at a publishing house and my nights alternating between baking cupcakes I can't eat and watching really awful television (of the CW variety). Other than that, I like my margaritas strong and my mornings to start in the afternoon. They often don't, though, which explains the Diet Coke addiction.

Come visit me at www.shelikespurple.com where I babble on (still!) about the too-soon cancellation of Veronica Mars or www.stylelushblog.com where I've teamed up with 15 other bloggers to share with you everything under the sun that makes our lives prettier.
