Acerca de los autores

Melinda Means is a writer, speaker, and mom blogger at Mothering From Scratch (motheringfromscratch.com), as well as women's ministry director at First Alliance Church in Port Charlotte, Florida. She has been a freelance writer since her daughter was an infant, writing primarily for healthcare publications up until several years ago, when her writing focus took a decidedly maternal turn. Her children were simply providing too much humbling and hilarious material to let it go to waste. Her work has appeared in Focus on Your Child newsletters, CBN.com, In Touch magazine, and Lifeway's Journey magazine.

Her husband, a high school teacher, has been a long-suffering and enthusiastic supporter of Melinda's journalistic endeavors. She is mother to two highly entertaining teenage children, a daughter and a son. She and her family live in Punta Gorda, Florida.

Kathy Helgemo started out as an English teacher after graduating from Florida State University, moved through various other jobs, and landed in her current one as a freelance writer from home. She blogs with Melinda at www.motheringfromscratch.com. Her blog posts have been featured on thesitsgirls.com, the Women of Faith website, and Parent Society's Mommy Blog Hot List.

Her husband, Ben, is a pediatrician who can't stop wearing paisley shirts and playing around like a kid all day. He faithfully brings her coffee every morning to kickstart her creativity. Kathy mothers four kids ranging in age from early twenties to middle school. Some would rather she stop. With three boys and one girl, she has tackled many issues confronting moms--from breastfeeding to prom. She lives with her family in Port Charlotte, Florida.
