Dianna is a working professional, turned mother, turned PTO President, turned paid writer (if you count one 50 dollar check from the Washington Post).
She recently returned to working with leaders at one of those three letter agencies in D.C. After a 20+ year career leading soldiers, she gets to work with some of our nation’s hardest working professionals; providing them advice and training on communicating, motivating, and management of their workers. All things she’s picked up along life’s little highway and as a retired Army lieutenant colonel.
She and her husband have four boys who were born over a five
year period. Not surprisingly, they haven’t stopped growing since. Dianna has researched it and apparently there is a law that you have to feed them.
The family lives in Virginia with their two boxers, Maddie and Lola, one parrot, Macbeth, and 9 fish.
Please feel free to comment or just let her know you visited so she doesn’t feel as though she’s talking to herself (which, oh by the way, she does routinely) If you have a thought or a comment that you cannot share on the blog or would like to know more about whatever the heck it is she’s just posted; feel free to email her at randomparenting@comcast.net. Please consider sharing this site with your friends.
Dianna thinks it is pretty weird that serious writers use the third person to talk about themselves (like someone else is typing this) but heck-whatever it takes you know?
The parenting tips are just things picked up along the way. She hopes you enjoy your visit.

D,
I am a little confused, you do not need a google account to reach me. Just leave a note on my blog passionsandsoapboxes.com it’s a wordpress blog. I never use my google account. Always glad to hear from you, your pre-approved. lol

D.
Do you have any movie suggestions for my movienosh.com site. I just started it and do not have a large database yet. I am asking mom’s around wordpress to say what movies they would find helpful or if they had any embarrassing movie experiences with their kids, what movie were they watching. I am really hoping to expand this site so it can help parents. You can leave a comment on the “about movie nosh page” or email me at robinsinsider@gmail.com
All help is appreciated, Thanks

Hi Lisa–thanks for the note and glad you’re enjoying the blog. Your’s looks great although you are obviously way beyond me as far as the writing skills. I’m enjoying things though…I did have something published recently in The Washington Post. Almost didn’t cash the 50 dollar check but heck–I’ve gotta feed the boys …
Have a brilliant day!

Sounds like we have a lot in common as career professionals turned full-time mothers plus writers, and let’s not forget bloggers. Best of luck on your journey through all of the above!
I love the parenting tips along with the wit and humor expressed in your blog posts.

You’re too kind. We’ll see. I’d love to do a book just because you can’t make this stuff up. I’ll keep you posted
