Cathy Sue Carpenter is a mom, writer, blogger, speaker and longtime lover of family stories. Her work turns everyday moments into honest, funny and often poignant reflections on motherhood and family life.

Cathy writes to remind other parents that the small, imperfect moments are often the most meaningful.
