About
Many of my readers have known me only by my pen name, Izzy, which I began using because it afforded me the anonymity I needed to be able to put some of my innermost thoughts and feelings up for public consumption, in addition to anonymity for my children, whom I frequently wrote about. Others knew me by my real name or by other nicknames, none of which matters anymore. Call me whatever you’re used to calling me.
I’m out of the proverbial closet now—sort of —which means I’d still rather NOT be found by my kids’ teachers or their friends’ parents. After they’ve read posts in which you curse like a sailor or talk about how you’d like to crotch kick someone, it’s a bit…awkward. I mean how can a woman like that be suitable material for Career Day? Or chaperone on a field trip or accompany Brownies on a camping trip? I’ll tell you how..because I’m MULTI-DIMENSIONAL, bitches!
Details
I’m a married mom of two living in Florida, which I unaffectionately refer to as “Satan’s Buttcrack.” As you may have guessed, I long to escape this place and maybe someday, when we can actually sell our house…I will.
If you don’t already know me, I’m fairly irreverent, I generally always root for the underdog, I always vote for the environment and I’m a raging liberal on most issues.
I hate long car trips, I detest cooking (except for baking), I stay up ridiculously late, I love animals and even though I’m a total lightweight these days, I still love a good Mojito which, I might add, is painfully hard to find, even in Florida.
Autumn is my favorite season (even though we barely have those in this godforsaken place), I embrace the creative and frequent use of profanity, I love chocolate chip cookies, tangerine popsicles and pizza, I drink ice water like it’s going out of style and of course, I love/desperately need my caffeine, preferably in the form of organic coffee or chai tea.
And to reiterate, since people always ask…no, my name is not Izzy. If you want to know my real name, which, for reasons already noted, I’m not too keen on posting here, just ask.
Thanks for reading…

Other Things That Suck Up All My Free Time:
The Green Mom Review (formerly Green Mom Finds), Editor & Co-Founder
Izzywig - This is my little Cafe Press shop. The Big Daddy t-shirts are quite popular.
Contact: I’ve waffled back and forth on whether or not to keep my contact info up because I get an obscene amount of PR email — frequently addressed to the wrong name, I might add.
So here’s the deal…
If you are a marketing professional, PR person, business owner etc. please do not contact me UNLESS:
- You want to send me a sample ($50 minimum value only) or cover the expense of having me experience whatever it is you’re promoting. In the interest of keeping it real, I don’t review anything I haven’t used or experienced.
- You are okay with a potentially bad review because I won’t say something was great if it wasn’t.
- You are okay with reviews being on my review blog. My personal blog is just that…personal.
- Please note that I don’t do free PR under any circumstances. I wouldn’t ask you to do what you do for free and I expect the same courtesy. If you want free advertising or PR, buy an ad. I will happily send you my rates upon request.
Everyone else is welcome to email me: izzymom at gmail dott calm <– misspelled on purpose to prevent spambots from auto-harvesting my email address.
Have a nice day :)
