My name is Lori and I live in Philadelphia. I became a mother for the first time in 2005 and little by little, found myself becoming more and more momish as time went by.  By now, I feel comfortable with the title “mommy”.

Aside from me, the babe and hubs, I also have two amazing step daughters. They both have beautiful red hair, so I literally have red-headed stepchildren which is rather cool. Us humans share our small row home with our fat cat Oreo (a.k.a. “the nudge”).

I grew up in the city and still live in the city. I love the city. I am everything urban. I have been what you might call “urban sheltered” my whole life.  There are times I wonder into the suburbs to see some trees, but other than that, you’ll find me roaming the city streets where I belong.

I am a major movie buff and I love to read.  However, one of my true passions is philosophy and logic, which I studied in college.  Since BA’s in philosophy really don’t get one very far, I now work in computers, which I think was a descent compromise in order to help feed my family.

I have been blogging here at Momish for over three years and have found the blogging community to be quite amazing.  I never thought I would have come to love and respect so many “strangers”.
