Motherly Law

Attorney. Wordsmith. Author of Motherly Law Blog. Mom. Wife. Talker. Lover of Fine Chocolate. Hire me to Write, Research or Speak for You.

I'm mom to two darling, crazy, silly, spirited, brilliant boys, ages 5 years and 3 years, two very large dogs and three cats. I am also a wife, an attorney and a domestic goddess (oh, who am I kidding? I could really use a cleaning service.).

I live in Minneapolis, but I'm originally a Texan. I'm a graduate of the University of Oklahoma School of Law, and I'm a member of the Oklahoma bar. I'm a full-time work-at-home-mom. I have worked as a judicial law clerk, an attorney editor for a legal publisher & now as an independent contractor & professional writer. I love to research and write about any topic.

All of this juggling is done with the help of my Dear Husband (who vacuums almost every night thanks to the very large dogs & is my “tech guy”). I'm a night owl & don’t get much sleep which does nothing for my mood in the mornings, but does help me make my deadlines.

I read magazines from back to front, can't blow up balloons or any other inflatable items, love chocolate, coffee, tuna sandwiches & pizza, have never been able to figure out a yo-yo, have an excellent memory & am a sucker for an animal at a humane society.

The photography you see on ML was taken by my Darling Boys or by me. Thanks to DH for all of his technical help & his continued aid & support in this endeavor.

I'm always cooking up new ideas and plans, and I'm always available for freelance writing projects. My dream gig is a regular column in a major newspaper, magazine and/or website where I get to spout off my opinions, advice, important information and random thoughts. I'm working my way towards my dream post by post.
