Thanks for stopping by!
I'm Elle of See Mom Work (SMW) and I live in Orange County, California. I'm a transplant from the Pacific Northwest, so I'm very down-to-earth. Nothing like the "Real Housewives of Orange County", I am much more authentic.
I tend to be a bit disgruntled at times. I definitely do not see the world through rose colored glasses. But I do love to find the humor in the daily grind and making people laugh.
Originally I started this blog with the intent of providing support and resources to fellow working moms. Fortunately, there are a lot of existing sites that do a helluva good job of that already. SMW has evolved from vents about my boss to more upbeat topics like vents about my three kids and the ongoing struggle for work/life balance.

I'm not currently gainfully employed by The Man, but working from home on writing gigs, business ideas and laundry feathering my nest.
Alternative names for the SMW blog since I'm not working 9 to 5 anymore: See Mom Work Out, See Mom Work on her Issues and See Mom Work Herself Into a Tizzy.
