Amalah (pronounced AIM-ah-lah) lives in our nation's capital, where she makes her readers laugh and cry by obsessively chronicling her life, neuroses, pregnancy and the vagaries of new motherhood.

Formerly a financial editor, she is now (thanks to her site's success) a work-at-home mom, who also freelances for AlphaMom.com and is a founder and editor at MamaPop.com. Her writing has also been published in the anthology Sleep is for the Weak. Washingtonian magazine called amalah.com "addictive" and davebarry.com deemed it perfect "for those who enjoy sobbing helplessly at their desks."

In a good way.
