About

The Average Parent is a site for everyday moms and dads seeking practical information they can actually use. I explore different topics of interest, including money and time saving tips, various parenting topics and honest product reviews. In addition to providing original content, The Average Parent serves as a hub for all things interesting to parents. I believe there’s no reason for me to cover a topic if someone else has already done a good job with it. You can count on me to scour the net for interesting stories, great resources and other fabulous bloggers that I’ll highlight in one central location for your convenience.

At the end of the day, I’ll keep you up to speed on the best play date ideas, kid-friendly establishments and budget-saving activities for the whole family. I’ll give tips for taking care of yourself, getting involved in the community and planning the best parent’s night out. Occasionally, I’ll even throw in a random off-beat story just because I think you might be interested.

About Me

I am an average mom living a busy life in the Midwest. My family includes a lovable but hyper-active preschooler, a super mellow baby, an obsessive compulsive husband and one spirited who all keep me on my toes. In addition to taking care of my family full time, I work as a public relations pro writing for small businesses and non-profits.

I am an information junky and enjoy meeting new people, learning and trying new things, and spreading the word about my experiences.
