Talia Essman

A stay-at-home mom who still strives to wear hip clothes, drive a clean car and blow-dry my hair - at least every other day.

My world revolves around being a mom and a wife. Cheesy? Yes. Trivial? Not to me. True? 100%. It's hard to imagine that the me today is the me I thought I would be, but I have put my love of news gathering long behind me and embraced the world of flu shots, hair braiding and meatload making. My world is my family and I strive every day to be a good wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. Do I accomplish these things? Not always, not as often as I should. But I try ... and that's me.
