Welcome to Momo Fali’s. Sit down, grab something to drink and maybe a book in case you want to read something other than this blog.

I’m Momo. I was once the operations manager of a local corporation. I had one premature baby (a daughter-now 13 years old) and became a stay at home mom, that’s SAHM if you’re into acronyms.

I had another premature baby (a son-now nine years old), and this one came complete with special needs including multiple heart defects, eye problems, a kidney disorder and reflux of the urinary AND GI tracts. We like to think of him as an overachiever. He has had nine surgeries and more struggles than anyone should ever face, but he and his sister make me laugh every day.

Now, I write this here blog, juggle the full-time job that is health insurance nightmares and therapy sessions and somehow landed my dream job as the Social Media Manager for BlogHer, the web’s largest community of women who blog. I used to work part-time in the cafeteria at my kids’ school. I held that job because my son sometimes chokes when he eats and I was there to give him the Heimlich if I needed to. No, I am not kidding.

When my son was an infant I created an on-line account with the user name “momofali” (read: Mom of Ali) and when my best friend saw the site, she sent me an e-mail asking, “Who’s Momo Fali?” I’ve been Momo ever since. As a matter of fact, most people have trouble calling me Diane anymore.

That’s okay. I don’t mind Momo. I’ve certainly been called worse.
