About Me:

Melissa Chapman and her brood of three live in the urban concrete jungle of NYC. When she’s not busy putting someone in a time-out, stepping on action figures, hand-feeding her dog/child or braiding hair she’s trying to find indulgences and adventures that remind her of her pre-kid days when she felt sexy, didn’t need to wade through mountains of laundry and no one ever called her ma’am.! She contributes She Knows, Time Out NY Kids, iVillage, Loving You, writes Kids in the City, a weekly column for the Staten Island Advance and is a mommy blogger for Real Moms Guide and WCBS-TV.
