Georgina
Georgina works full time at the Idaho Falls Arts Council and is mom to two tiny crazy kids. She lives on a bit of land in Grant, Idaho, where she tries to stay on top of her husband’s hoarder habits, the non-stop weeds, the ever-expanding collection of vehicles, and several cats. She is originally from England, but found her way to Idaho in 2014 via 11 years on the East Coast and is now here to stay. She loves to read, hike, sometimes bake, and has recently discovered trail running, which she is now obsessed with.

The Mom Juggle
I always knew I’d be a working mom. Our family needs it financially but, more importantly, I need it mentally. One of my favorite moments of the week is Monday mornings when I reach...
Moms Terrify Me
I am intimidated by other moms. This is absurd, especially when you consider that I am 41 years old and most of the moms with kids the same age as mine are 10-15 years...
An American School Experience
I’m originally from England and lived there for the first 23 years of my life. I did all my schooling in the UK, moving to the US in 2003 for an internship that ultimately...
EIRMC Experts Explain the Early Signs of Autism
If you're anything like me, you obsessed over your child's development (especially your first child, amiright?) I remember staring into my son's face trying to figure out if he was smiling or not when...
Reasons My Children Don’t Go to Bed
I’ve mentioned it once or twice before, but my kids never go to sleep. We try and fail to put them to bed over and over and over (and over!) again every single night....
