About the Editor

Hi! I’m Christie O., just your plain old regular average mom, a 30-something mom of two little boys, stay at home mom/slash/work at home mom and freelance writer, news junkie and former tv news producer. I’ve been married to my soulmate for 7 years. We met in a bar in college, of course.

I am a writer and freelance journalist who put my career on hold after my first child was born 6 weeks early due to pre-eclampsia. I was also recently diagnosed with cervical cancer. (More on that later.)

In my former life, I was a writer and producer for The Associated Press, FOX News Channel and various local television stations. I needed to fulfill my need to write and so I began blogging at the Mis-Adventures of Captain Poopy after the first baby and then later, the retired family blog, Baby Tea Leaves.

Today, life’s a little different, and so is my blog. I am a freelance writer, I am a champion for the March of Dimes and an organizer for a local group of preemie moms who support other mothers of preemies, a group called Mommies Little Miracles. I just launched my own company, Christie O. Media and work as a social media consultant, brand ambassador/builder and writer because I JUST LOVE SHARING PEOPLE’S PASSIONS WITH THE WORLD!

Life is all about the journey and my journeys through blogging include postpartum weight-loss, motherhood, and my latest journey, “The Cansuh.”

I was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer after a tumor was found during one of my annual paps. At 30 something and with planning on having more children, I wasn’t exactly ready for the diagnosis and the prospect of a hysterectomy. I’m writing through my journey as part of my coping and sharing my experience so others don’t feel so alone.

Here, I’ve chronicled my way through postpartum weightloss, having gone from couch to triathlon, which has become a passion of mine.

Now, I write about life with “the cansuh,” health, fitness, motherhood, mayhem, product & movie reviews, I still love interviewing people (that journalist part of me will always be there, this year I interviewed Harry Connick, Jr. and Morgan Freeman). Also, I love SOCIAL MEDIA.

I can also be found as a contributing writer at The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans, a wonderful fitness and weight-loss community, and the popular mom site, 5 Minutes for Mom! You can follow me on Twitter @christieo  and on www.Facebook.com/AverageMomsWearCapes.
