    Nina Vallone

    Neen is a writer by night, a mostly adoring wife and a mom of teenagers by day (and night.) She's on a quest to write about what she talks about: life, love and the pursuit of getting up after falling, repeatedly. Her passion of learning to live a mindful life lead her to teaching mindfulness classes around town. While living in the burbs, she constantly peruses city real estate so that when the kids are off to college, she and hubs can haul ass back down to the city.
