Emily is a stay-at-home mum, wife, daughter, reluctant housewife, word nerd, pianist and human conundrum. She's a neat freak who hates cleaning, a descriptive linguist who hates apostrophe abuse, and a career marketer who never dreamed she'd still be at home with her kids six years after first giving birth. She spends most of her free time (HA!) trying not to think about chocolate while avoiding tripping hazards like stairs, flat surfaces and her own two feet.
