LindsayMaddox : MyBlogHer Profile

Among her many useless talents, Lindsay Maddox is fluent in Whinese and can also speak a few conversational phrases in Gruntandpoint. Published author and creator of the popular humor parenting blog Silly Mom Thoughts, Lindsay finds inspiration and humor for her stories thanks her five-year-old, three-year-old, and a set of one-year-old twins. (No, they´re not identical. Yes, twins run in her family. No, they don´t have the same personality. Yes, she has a favorite… whichever one isn´t throwing a tantrum.)

In her free time (ha!), Lindsay stares blankly at the wall. She has also recently discovered an addiction to running that allows her to guiltlessly succumb to her other addiction to Starbucks. She is backed up by her parenting teammate and Superman husband, Clint, who actually does the dishes and laundry more often than she does. (Back off, ladies, he's taken.)

Her outlook on parenting is simple: If you can´t laugh in the face of stressful parenting situations, you´ll surely go nuts. She recounts stories of her own parenting horrors, always transparent even when she´d rather not be, and always with a humorous twist. Her goal is for other moms join along in laughing our way through motherhood and realize that they aren´t alone in the struggles they face.
