About Me

With a Ph.D. and a career that I loved, I chose to put it all on hold for something I love even more. Three years ago, my world changed. I gave birth to the most amazing little girl, and I decided to become a full-time Mommy. Being a researcher by nature, I read all the books about 'what to expect.' By the time my daughter arrived, I was as prepared as anyone could be (which, as all you parents know, isn't prepared at all). While it is true that motherly instincts kick in and you learn how to take care of this little person, the same doesn't apply to being a full-time "homemaker." (I'm still trying to figure out what that title really means.) After trial and much error, I decided to approach the world of domestic bliss just as I would any other job. I've rolled up my sleeves, done my homework, checked out the competition, and I'm developing a strategic plan. During the process, I have reconnected with myself - not as Mommy, Mrs., or the household concierge, but as Kimberly. Hopefully, I can share some things I've learned, resources I've found, and why it's been worth every moment. This is my journey.

Your Spare Change Can Create Big Change

Ronald McDonald House Charities


RMHC Invites People to Give One Penny at a Time to Help Families Stay Together

For RMHC it all started with one: one child who needed health care, one family who hoped to stay nearby and one community who came together to build the first Ronald McDonald House. And, just one penny can make a difference today in the lives of children and families. The Charity is asking people to support their 1 campaign and “Join RMHC for 1” on July 1, 2011, by adding one penny, one dime, quarter or dollar to the RMHC Donation Boxes at local participating McDonald’s restaurants.

How to Talk to Little Girls

Lisa Bloom: How to Talk to Little Girls

Another fantastic glimpse into 'Think': Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a Dumbed Down World! As the mom of a little girl and an eating disorders and addiction specialist (remember that professional world that I left?), I applaud Lisa Bloom for encouraging others to treat little girls as the smart, funny, interesting, and full of amazing potential little people they are! Kudos!!!

Being 'Mommy' is the greatest thing in the world, but being 'Kimberly' is pretty good, too!
