About Me

I’m Kimberly and this is my little world known as Petroville. Welcome.



A million years ago, I eloped in Vegas and went from an aspiring actress to a stay-at-home mommy. Right now, blogging provides my own personal stage where I’m not required to pay for head shots or a babysitter.

Daughter of a former Catholic nun and an almost priest, God has already granted me a spot in heaven because he pities my personal baggage. Don’t ask. See scooter.

At 36, I am Wife to 1, Mommy to 2, Step-mother to 2 more and keeper of 4 pets. I totally dig my life.



When I’m not tending to my lovely family or working at home, I am a Jazzercise instructor, freelance writer, lover of mulch as well as red wine and consider myself a stellar party thrower. I also spend entirely too much time in the barn with OPP (other people’s ponies).

I co-own a company called Joslyn Place Photography with my cousin, Meredith. We’d love to get right up in your grill and take your pretty picture.



And if you can’t get enough of my dry, irreverent blather here, I also write for the Washington Times Community , DC Metro Moms, spend entirely too much time on Facebook and am currently Twitter’s Bitch.

Thanks for stopping by. Your check is in the mail.
