Erin Petron Gosser

"Your life will never be the same after a kid!" Um, duh. I'm a French teacher turned stay-at-home mom who strives to maintain her social life with and without her kid. By day, a French speaking, cloth diaper changing, baker extraordinaire in both real and pretend kitchens. By night, a cabaret performer, below average triathlete, and club hopper. (Book club, that is.) Email at: thesocialbutterflymom@gmail.com.
