About

Dude Mom is a humor, lifestyle blog written by the best mom in the world. In her free time she enjoys losing weight easily, looking like a soap star the moment she rolls out of bed, and riding around town on her unicorn. Also, she may be slightly delusional.

In addition to having a loose grip on reality, Dude Mom enjoys traveling to far off lands (or, not so far off lands) with her family, and helping moms up their style awesome by sharing easy, affordable, and stylish wardrobe tips. As someone who has had a fashion intervention by two of America’s most well known stylists (yep, she was on What NOT to Wear) and lived to tell the tale, she knows that giving up the yoga pants is nearly as hard as giving up chocolate. But, she’s done that too (Weight Watchers, baby!) and she’ll totally have a sweet fist bump ready for you when you do it.

The mom behind the dummy is a former Teach for America middle school language arts and social studies teacher, turned stay-at-home-mom, turned graduate student, turned professional photographer, freelance writer, problogger and general director of awesomeness.  She reluctantly resides in Maryland with her husband and three small Dudes where she laments leaving the California sunshine on a daily basis.

She writes a local review blog for FiND iT Frederick Magazine and contributes to a number of online and in print publications.

She has worked on a variety of local and national campaigns and currently manages the social media channels for CocoonKids for KlaasKids, and maintains a generally funny column on Everyday Family entitled My Mom Is Awesome (because, duh, she probably is!)

Interested in contacting Dude Mom because you want to give her a product to review, host a giveaway of something you think is awesome, have her work her magic on your Twitter and Facebook pages, tell her you love her? Email her at: thedudemom[at]gmail[dot]com

Don’t call or come by. That would make you creepy and Dude Mom is not down with creepy.

Thanks for visiting the Dude Mom, testosterone never looked so pretty!

Wanna stalk better?

Here, let me help:

-The post about my baby’s daddy, don’t worry, it’s Dude Dad.
-The post where I answer a ton of random questions about random me.
-If you want to hire me to take your picture you have to a) live in the DC or Baltimore Metro areas, b) have money, and c) not be insane. I am a professional photographer in Maryland. I mostly take pictures of babies and children because I can stand it when they pout. I can’t stand it when grown ups pout, but I do weddings too in spite of this.

Think you know me from somewhere???
