I own my pink by embracing the crazy and admitting that most days, I wake up thinking I can balance it all only to be reminded that it's the crazy I have embraced. I own my pink by owning my imperfections.

Pauline M. Campos is wife to The Husband, mother to “Buttercup,” and has decided that it’s time to make peace with her cellulite after moving to the desert from Michigan where it’s always construction season.

 She spent the first two years of her daughter’s life wishing the pregnancy weight off before getting serious, joining a gym, hiring a nutritionist, and jumping into social media full-force with her www.aspiringmama.com blog and her twitter accounts (@pauline_campos and @aspiringmama) because she has an almost OCD-like tendency to multi-task while working on her writing projects.

Pauline has always known she was going to be a writer and finally got tired of hearing The Husband ask when she was going to make him rich, so she finally stopped dreaming and started doing. (The writing part. She and The Husband are still waiting on the "getting rich" thing).

She got started in newspapers and served as city editor for a few local papers before hitting the big time at The Detroit News and freelancing for the Metro-Detroit based Metro Parent Magazine before taking a break after baby. She blogs weekly for www.bookieboo.ning.com, a fitness support site that has been featured in national publications such as Shape Magazine, and also serves as an editor for the site. 

Current projects include querying agents for her memoir, trying to find creative ways to convince her accountant that her blog is a job, and looking for a spare nerve (her last one keeps getting lost).
