THE CRAZY CHICK OF MOM SQUAD:
BECKY (sales and marketing spaz). A.k.a Queen of the Kingdom of Tired, this full time-working-committed volunteer-slightly-OCD Mom thinks parenting is the best gig in the world. Team Family is #1. This hard-core Mommy Blogger is always looking for the next project and also loves a good garage sale. Becky is not-so-much a "multi-tasker" as she is a "stumble-tasker" (stumble on to one task, start it, stumble onto another, abandon first to work on second. Stumble upon another, forget what she was working on and start task #3. Repeat). Her hero's include Oprah, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Winnie The Pooh. Her greatest wish is to be able to leave the house (minus rugrats) without it being a covert Navy Seal-like operation. She also likes singing off key and secretly licks the butter knife when no one is looking. Her resolution for 2012: "Skinny jeans and a fat wallet!" becky@lakesareamomsquad.com
