Heather Morgan Shott is the former Editor-in-Chief of Momtastic.com. Previously she was site director of The Nest. Before that, she was founding editor of the social network MixingBowl.com, and she held senior editor positions at Parents.com and BHG.com, as well as digital editor positions at WineSpectator.com, Brides.com, and National Geographic Traveler.

Follow their adventures on her blog, High Chair Times, and Facebook.
