A little about yourself...: Melinda L. Wentzel, aka Planet Mom, is a freelance writer and award-winning slice of life newspaper columnist whose primary aim is to unearth the vat of hilarity contained within everyday life experiences—especially those related to parenting. She offers those poor souls (who subsist at various stages of lunacy) a sanity cocktail in the form of humorous blurbs about life with kids and families in general.

What kinds of things do you typically Tweet about?: Needy children, persnickety pets, the din of despair that surrounds me and the veritable swirl of chaos that has defined my world ever since my dear husband uttered the phrase, "Hon, let's have more children!"

What are your areas of interest?: mommyhood, blogging, twins/multiples, social media, twitter, the arts, work-at-home, fitness, weight loss, wine, writing
