Kristy Campbell is one of those creative professionals who does a wide-range of different projects at once and would be horribly bored working for the IRS.  She spends most days writing.  Because of her free-flowing opinions, she is asked to work on social media projects for companies, which basically means that she gives feedback from her “mom perspective”.

Kristy has an extensive background in mommy and her resume titles include young mom, single mom, mom of twins, new mom over 40, and her current position of mom of 5 facing midlife crisis with a toddler.  Kristy can be found writing, blogging, acting and maintaining her sanity at www.mommytracked.com, My Cape is at the Cleaners and www.KristyCampbellCreative.com.  Kristy tweets @Kristy_Campbell.
