| Meet The Pumpernickel Parents | ||||||
|
We're busy parents like you -- trying to maintain that ever-elusive "balance" between fulfilled and frazzled. Writer-parents who take an independent viewpoint that's sometimes humorous, maybe off-the-wall, perhaps a little edgy.
It's hard to find space in our lives for enjoying quality essentials like reading, music, and other entertainment. So we offer up reviews to help you sift quickly through the light, flaky stuff that leaves you hangin' and get to the goods that fill you and yours up with satisfaction. This is who we are: | ||||||

| Susan Powers | Holly Case | |||||
| Susan Powers is currently a stay-at-home poet with two elementary-aged children. In her dark and distant past, she earned a BA in French, a BBA in Finance, and an MBA in Entrepreneurship. She served time as a senior corporate executive in the oil and gas industry and as a management consultant with McKinsey & Co. She also started her own business and then sold it two years later for a profit. Absolutely none of that experience has helped a whit in her current pursuit of art, music, poetry, and the Great American Novel. Well, maybe the having kids part. Susan is interested in how the world works, fiction, and chocolate. | Holly Case is a freelance writer and editor living in Michigan with her husband and three young sons. She writes most often about natural living and health issues, and is the newsletter editor for Natural Food Network. | |||||
