Jessi Baden-Campbell is a recovering opera singer who occasionally wears her mother in-law’s jacket as a skirt when her son barfs on her at the Chevy’s.  She will be getting her tubes tied following the show.

Elizabeth Kominski is a mother, wife, musician, and high school teacher.  She is excited to do something other than tuning a guitar, grading papers, or cleaning up poop. She would like to thank Tyler, Harper, Philip, and Pop Pop for giving her so much material to work with.

Jen DeMayo was an actor until she had kids and then kind of forgot to get back into it. Her artsy side is nurtured by working at the Atlas Performing Arts Center on H Street NE. She is a founder and moderator of Moms on the Hill (MOTH) and still manages to find the joy in online squabbles over co-sleeping and circumcision.

Cindy Kane is the author of the forthcoming book, Bad Mommy Moments: Celebrating the Days of New Motherhood that SUCK. When she’s not failing her children, she’s seeking penance at badmommymoments.com

Dumb Mom has been wowing the Internet since 2008 when she launched her pretty-much-useless guide for parents, parenting BY dummies.  As it turns out her parenting advice is not generally useful for more than a good laugh, but sometimes that’s exactly what you need!  Dumb Mom spends her online time running a photography business, working as a social media director for a local print publication, and writing freelance articles about stuff she loves. You can Tweet with her online as @dumbparent, but don’t expect her to be serious.  It’s virtually impossible.

Cathy Smith has been a mother for half of her life, and yet she lives on.  She is a writer by trade and a storyteller by choice.  You can check out her new blog at justamusing.me.

Jenny Splitter is a recovering lawyer, aspiring writer and mom to two kids who are probably doomed to a lifetime of clarifying the spelling of their names.  She is currently working on a play about childbirth, love and marriage.
