When I’m not chasing my son around for diaper changes, convincing my daughter not to wear goggles to bed, or trying to get unidentified stains out of my kids’ clothes, I work in the marketing department at Clorox.

I’m writing this blog because when I became a Mom, I was amazed by how much I valued exchanging stories with other mommies. For me, those moments include transitioning from “Wife” to “Mother”, struggling for work/life balance, and celebrating my children’s milestones (He rolled over in the opposite direction today! I’m pretty sure that makes him a genius.)

I also want to give you a peek under the tent at the zany stuff that I’ve seen at Clorox. Did you know that our Tech Center actually painstakingly “bakes” food stains into clothes to test our Clorox 2 laundry products? When I heard that, I was ready to ship all my son’s clothes over to the lab to help ‘em out! And ever wonder what it’s like to sell, of all products, toilet products? Been there, done that. Yup, not only was I dealing with potties at home, I was dealing with them at work as well. Gotta love it!

You’ll hear a lot about my kids who are both the light of my world and source of grey hairs: Elle, my 4 year-old daughter and Max, my 2-year old son.

I love being a Mom (though try not to let it define me), I love working at Clorox (though strive to balance work with good parenting) and I love sharing stories with other Moms.

And I’d love to hear back from you. We all have stories. After all, storytelling is in our mommy DNA. I hope our stories will somehow make us all happier and saner mommies, for our families and ourselves! Welcome in!
