Meet BluegrassMoms' Coordinators
Heather Chapman, right, writer of parenting blog The Mother Tongue, is a Herald-Leader news assistant with two young children and a husband who plays the drums. Her house is very loud. In her infrequent spare time, she confesses a fondness for knitting, calligraphy, and all things geeky.
Feature writer Mary Meehan has been a reporter for more than 20 years and a mother for nearly 10. She's still trying, in vain mostly, to perfect both skills. A single mom who lives in Georgetown, she's part-time potter, a full-time knitter, an occasional gardener, an avid fan of HGTV and a reluctant expert on Hannah Montana.

Sharing my little girl with her Daddy opens my eyes..... - 651 views
My 3-month-old, Michaela, is definitely a daddy’s girl. There’s no mistaking it in the way she breaks her neck trying to spot him when she hears his voice. There’s no denying it when she wakes up in the morning and turns her head toward his side of the bed waiting for him to say “good morning”. At first, I was jealous. What the heck?! I’m the one who begged him to... - read more
