I’m a freelance writer for Home Insemination Kit, where I infuse humor into the ups and downs of parenting. My essays resonate with parents of young school-aged kids, as I’m currently navigating this exciting stage of life.
My academic credentials include a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Michigan State University, followed by a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Des Moines University. After 12 years in clinical practice, I now work remotely in the healthcare sector.
When I’m not juggling my two young kids, I’m busy with various personal writing projects and maintain a parenting blog at mommingonfumes.com. Inspired by my own parenting journey, I created an online humor account dedicated to parenting jokes that has struck a chord with many parents and caregivers. My goal is to highlight that while parenting can be overwhelming and emotional, there’s always a lighthearted side to explore!
