Elizabeth Nelson, momSmith
After a short stint as an actress (career highlight: Ophelia in a Hamlet set in an insane asylum) Elizabeth decided she preferred writing her own words to reciting those of others.
Her essays on parents and children can be found on xoJane.com and HipMama. She also writes about families and finance for Credit-Land.com.
A Colorado native, Elizabeth now lives in Brooklyn with her two daughters. She runs a nine-minute-mile, bakes a mean chocolate chip cookie, and never forgets to floss.
