Paula Balzer is a Brooklyn based literary agent who happily traded in a few pairs of unreasonable heels for sensible clogs. She finds tending to a rambunctious toddler and continuing her gig in publishing require a combination of balance and flexibility normally achieved only by the cast members of Cirque de Soleil – and of course, Adhoc Moms.

Tonya Vernooy used to bore fellow party guests with talk of biotechnology and contemporary art, now she lulls strangers into a trance with talks of toilet training and any facts she can retain about Yo Gabba Gabba. She has continued her obsession with rap music but has recently been outed by her two year old as a Britney Spears fan. Currently, she is trying to figure out how to juggle a part time career and full time mommyhood without losing what little sanity she has left. 
When her son is awake, the tools of Carrie’s trade are raisins, Nick Jr. on Demand, play dates, and non-judgmental mom friends. When her son sleeps, she attempts to return to the tools that fed her soul (and wallet) before she started a family — color, type and image arranged in a pleasing and purposeful manner. Her son doesn’t know she’s a designer yet, but she sure hopes he enjoys all of the bubble letters she’s drawn for him.
