Author Biography

Christine Carter is a SAHM of a rambunctious son and spirited daughter. If you visited her home in Columbus, Ohio, you'd find her running her kids to soccer games or swim meets, leading a youth or women's group out of her home, spending quality time with friends, volunteering at school, or sitting at her computer writing her heart out on her blog, TheMomCafe.com, and at various other publications. She couldn't have made it through multiple surgeries and recoveries without the help and support of her beloved husband of 15 years. Before she dove into her writing career, Christine spent 10 years working as a professional music therapist in psychiatric facilities and a music teacher in private schools and homes. She'd tell you she's been blessed through it all and continues to discover extraordinary moments every single day-and she'd be right.
