So glad you stopped by!
I am a writer, editor, and education consultant. My clients have included Sesame Workshop and The Nature Conservancy, and I’m a contributing writer for Red Tricycle Portland.
Momsicle is about my passions: storytelling, family, delicious food, and adventure in the Pacific Northwest.
This is us…
The Chaos Team
Evelyn
I maintain a loose grip on the steering wheel of our family. I’ve discovered that parenting is half luck and half what you do.
K-Pants
K-Pants likes to think he’s in control and I let him believe it. He loves trains, basketballs, and throwing both at your head. He also goes by “The Pants” or “Mr. Potter.”
Baby Woww
Baby Woww is our new pet. He’s a go-with-the-flow kind of guy. I thought he might be a Furbie, but it turns out he’s a real boy.
Fang & Boca
Fang & Boca are our disco-worm finger Muppets. They’re socialists who photo bomb things.

I post at least once per week, which I try to keep to except when life rolls me over with a truck. I welcome guest posts and love to share other people’s writing on food, humor, and toddler-friendly adventures. Contact me at momsicleblog -at- gmail -dot- com with writing, editing, or guest post inquiries.
These are my favorite posts: How to Meet New Parent Friends and The Child Rearing Books.
Also, check out our Sanity Travel Tips Series, which provides travel advice and humor to parents traveling with kids:
Hooray! I’m so glad this is online now for the rest of the world to see!
Ev, you are so great with words! Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to reading more. GO MOMMY!!
This is wonderful
Are you on Twitter? It’s a surprisingly good way to find other readers and other blogs you like. Kind of an interesting way to get out there.
I am on Twitter, and just finding my voice on it. I’m “Evshoop.” What are you? I’d love to follow to see what kind of things you post! Thanks for the suggestion!

You go girl!
Weird science. I’ve never seen a blogger with the same “name” as me. I must know – how did you come up with it?! Hope the new life in Oregon is treating you well
How did I not know about this site? Okay, not a mom, so that’s probably why, but Ev! This is AWESOME! This is totally going on my reading list. Thank you for adding your voice to the interwebs darling!
Whoo hoo! So glad you found Momsicle, Deldel! And I love your gravatar pic. So playful, and so YOU!

Evelyn,
I absolutely love your blog. I just found it because I was looking at the Portland writers for redtri.com. Your voice is great and hilarious. I find myself thinking, “exactly!” so much of the time (especially the Beaverton posts – we moved from Boulder, CO to Bethany Village almost two years ago and we’re still transitioning into the suburban cutout). I have a blog mostly for friends and family and my own sanity (closertocore.blogspot.com) and always enjoy reading others’ words.
Thanks for posting. I’ll definitely be following along regularly. And who knows, maybe someday our suburban paths will cross.

Evelyn,
I decided to check out the link on your email address. This is great work. I read some of your articles and your recipes. What can I say? I wish this had been around when I was a stay at home mom.
Renu
THANK YOU, Renu! I’m so glad you stopped by!
Thanks for following me today! I love Portland and am going to have fun reading your posts about activities in the city.
Awesome! I love connecting with other PNW bloggers!
