Ri is the ringleader around here. If this were a band, she’d definitely be the stressed out, chainsmoking manager. (Even though she doesn’t smoke…anymore.) Now, don't let the name fool you – she’s no more music savvy than the next gal. (Don't let the icon fool you - she's not a blonde, either.) She just refuses to believe that her love for music need be put on the back burner while parenting a Pre-Schooler. The two should not be mutually exclusive. Prior to Music Savvy Momdom, Ri was gainfully employed in the corporate world as a notsomild-mannered Management Analyst. She sat at her desk with dual computers flashing multiple projects simultaneously, headphones on & music blaring. She often snarled when interrupted. Now a SAHM to Liam, her feisty three and a half year old…well, things haven’t changed much, really. Except spreadsheets have now become blogs and she doesn’t need the headphones – because the kiddo loves good music, too. Ri has a passion for writing, and has been told for years that she’s fairly humorous. Though she’s not yet realized her dream of being paid to combine the two, she has full confidence that one of you dear, dear readers will be in a position to change all that. Seriously. Make her an offer. In her own words, Ri describes her life thusly: “My interests are many and varied. Some of them include pie. My husband is wonderful, our kid rocks, and life is good…even when there’s no pie.”
