About This Blogger

Maria Melee had a small meltdown just after her 28th birthday.  She got pregnant with her second son, quit her office job, and turned to the Internet for help and to fill the cute-shoe void in her life.  Demonstrating a stunning lack of forethought, she choose a blog name that approximately 12% of the population knows how to pronounce.

After graduating from the University of Florida in 2002, Maria did what most English majors do.  She disregarded everything she’d learned and jumped into the world of Internet marketing, web copywriting and digital media.  She’s been blogging since 2001, back when the cool kids were all on Livejournal. (If by “cool kids” you mean “kids who dress up in anime costumes.”)

Maria spends most of her time juggling her career with quality time with her two young sons and husband.  The Chipmunk is four, and the Moose is two.
