Each day, TriangleMom2Mom.com will feature the musings of a select group of moms from across the Triangle.

Here's our line-up:

MONDAY

Jennifer Gregory left Florida almost 11 years ago to escape the heat and enjoys living in a place where the seasons change. She lives in Youngsville, N.C., which she usually refers to as north of Wake Forest, and has been married to her husband for almost 10 years. As the mom of two kids and three dogs, her house is filled with lots of joyful noise and barking. Her daughter (7) is convinced that she will be a princess when she grows up and her son (5) has aspirations of being the next Dale Jr. After years of writing software documentation for various companies, she "retired" when her daughter was born to become a stay at home mom. Now that her kids are in school, she has finally figured out what she wants to be when she grows up. She spends her mornings as a freelance writer and her afternoons hanging out with her kids. The only things she misses about living in Florida are her friends and family, Publix fried chicken and going to Florida Gator football games.

TUESDAY

Pamela DeLoatch is a married mom of four busy children (aged 10,12,14 and 15), freelance business writer, slacker housewife, dedicated tennis player, avid reader and fairly obsessed American Idol fan. Having yet to invent a way to Xerox herself, she is typically running 5-10 minutes behind in her life, trying to figure out how to multitask in her minivan. Born in Washington, D.C., she discovered her love for writing and majored in journalism at American University. Unfortunately, however, having a much thinner skin than either Woodward or Bernstein, she put journalism aside and spent many years pursuing other career endeavors she thought made more sense. She first came to North Carolina for graduate school at Duke University and thought: nice place to visit, but way too quiet to live there. After living in Illinois for 13 long winters, she understandably developed a true appreciation for all things Carolina. After threatening, coercing and bribing her family to move back to the East Coast, she is happily settled in Cary, where she has rediscovered her passion for writing. Now back where she belongs, she is building a writing career while legitimately incorporating an occasional “y’all” in her vocabulary.

WEDNESDAY

Diane Neer tries to be the voice of Moms with teens. Her daughter Haley is 17 and a senior in high school. Haley has been working hard on choosing colleges and getting college applications done. She loves Theater, Fuquay-Varina Baptist Church and the NC State Grange. Diane and Haley bond over Broadway shows. Her son Rory is 14 and has just started high school. He started reading the sports page when he was 5 and his passion for anything sports-related has grown ever since. When he was 12, he beat out 9 guys in their 40s to win his Fantasy Football League. Watch for him on ESPN in a few years.

Diane is recently separated. She and her husband Hurley are working through the changes amicably and are both focused on what is best for the kids. Diane's parenting philosophy is "choose your battles." 

In addition to her Wednesday blog, Diane writes the Tuesday Read! feature.

FRIDAY

L'Tanya Durante grew up in Arlington, VA. Even though she moved to the Triangle in 1991, she still calls Arlington "home." She is the mom of a high school student and a Kindergartener, boys who are ten years apart and like night and day. Ever since her younger son was diagnosed with a mood disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and ADHD, she has been learning the ropes of getting her son's needs met and dealing with ever-changing diagnoses. Her teenager has been struggling with ADD, but L'Tanya is convinced that if he got enough sleep, his focus would sharpen. But you know teens -- he's not listening.

L'Tanya is a freelance writer, documentarian, and knitwear designer. Her blog focuses on lessons learned from the way her family handles conflict, comes together and laughs along the way.
