About the Author
Asha Dornfest is a Portland, Oregon-based writer. She got her start writing web publishing how-to books. In 2005, as a new parent, she longed for a real-world alternative to "expert" parenting advice, so she launched ParentHacks.com to share clever shortcuts and "worked for me" tips from actual parents.
Parent Hacks took off, gaining thousands of readers and winning awards and international press coverage. Today, Asha shares hacks in social media with the #parenthacks hashtag and continues writing at her blog. She also co-hosts the Edit Your Life podcast and travels the country as a speaker and advocate. Find Asha on Facebook at /parenthacks, and on Instagram and Twitter at @parenthacks and @ashadornfest.
