Welcome! I’m Jamie, a 41-year-old mom from Nashville, Tennessee. I have two amazing girls ages 8 (Miss C) and 5 (Miss A.) I grew up where monster trucks, Hank Williams Jr., and field parties were all the rage. I named my pet chickens, read tons of Nancy Drew, and couldn’t wait to get my driver’s license so I could cruise McDonald’s in “town” with my friends. Cue Small Town by John Mellencamp.
I’m the baby of the family. I’m a Leo. I’m barely 5 ft. 2. I’m afraid of heights and freakishly afraid of opening cans of biscuits. I’m talkative and a tad OCD. I met my husband my senior year of high school.
I started blogging in 2005. I was fortunate to work from home that year but once I got into a routine I was desperate for a creative outlet, as well as a little stir crazy. My husband introduced me to the blogosphere and I was hooked. This blog is jokingly named in honor of my blonde moments. I launched a second site, Savvy Housewife, in 2008 for reviews and giveaways.
I write humorously about parenting, marriage to my geek entrepreneur/former beach bartender husband, our mutts, and whatever else tickles my fancy, from shopping to pop culture (I heart the 80s). I struggle to get to work, or anywhere, on time, eradicate the dog hair in our house, and find 5 minutes of peace and quiet that don’t involve sitting on, or cleaning, a toilet.
I am available for social media consulting and brand ambassador affiliations and have worked with such companies as Ford, Bosch, Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in Florida, and Kleenex. See my press hits here: http://blondemomblog.tumblr.com/

I have degree in journalism and sociology from Western Kentucky University. I work 30 hours a week for a small business publishing company as a special projects editor and a social media coordinator. I started my career at Vanderbilt University. I am smart, savvy, and professional.
In my spare time I like to travel with my family, search for, and drink, the perfect margarita, dream about moving to the beach with my husband and girls, shop for bargains, watch Mad Men, and feed my Twitter addiction.
