About

I started this blog after I moved from New York City to a smallish town in the upper Midwest. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that every single time I go to the grocery store, I run into someone I know. I also have a son whose nickname is Opie. Small town + small kid named Opie = no choice but to use “Mayberry” in my blog name. I also have a daughter I call Jo. I’m sorry she didn’t get a name-check in the title or tagline. She’ll get over it.

I write here about motherhood, my country mouse life, my (former) city mouse life, and whatever else is on my mind. I haven’t ever written about apple pie, although it is on my mind from time to time.

If you’d like to see more of my writing, or find out how I (try to) maintain a Manhattan figure in a beer-’n'-brats town, please visit my Family Fitness web site and blog.

I also write product reviews, along with a group of other fine bloggin’ moms, at The Full Mommy. So if you’re stopping by to find out where to send some fabulous product for me to try, please contact me there: fullmommy @ gmail . com. For other inquiries, comments, and words of praise, email mayberrymom2006 @ yahoo . com.
