Heather Hopp-Bruce
Heather Hopp-Bruce has three little girls ages 2-ish to 5-ish. She used to be a full-time mom before she started working full-time again, so now she works full-time all day and also works full-time when she's not at work, and though she loves her full-time job she misses the previous full-time situation, except when there is barf involved, then not so much. She lives in Boston with her husband, the aforementioned barfers, and two imaginary dogs the whole family wish were real, but are not gluttons for punishment despite evidence to the contrary. Heather also blogs at www.thebabysucks.com.
