Welcome to The Goon Room! The title of this blog is an homage to my college sorority house and the lovely little space we called The Goon Room. It was filled with couple of couches, a few sisters and a lot of chatter. The conversations ranged from life to love and always the pursuit of a good tan. Much like the conversations in the sorority house, The Goon Room blog has a little of everything. Enjoy!

The Goon Room 
We’ve never met, but I married your friend Melissa Cattaneo’s cousin Doug. I went to U of A a few year before you, and was an A-Phi too. I lived right outside of Goon Room, so I was happy to see the title of your blog. I just wanted to comment to say I loved your postings. They were really funny! Thanks for the good laugh! Sounds like you have a very fun life! Keep up the good work with your daughter!
Wanted to let you know that I think your blog is a great and enjoy reading your articles.
I also wanted to invite you to ping and tweet your blog for free with my website BlogBuzzer.com

I really enjoy your blog!
I have a question for you. I work for Today’s Mama….http://todaysmama.com/, and also do some blogging for them. Part of my job is recruiting bloggers in different categories in the various markets across the country. We do have an Arizona market, and I love your blog! Would you have any interest in doing some blogging for us? I think that you would be a great fit for our “Parenting” category…we ask that you write in your category 2/3 of the time, and the other 1/3 you can write a blog about whatever you would like. The goal is to post once a week.
Let me know if you have any interest…we would like to see original material, but you can certainly link back to your blog and add a link about your blog in your bio. We would love to have you join us!
Thank you!
Shannon Nelson and Today’s Mama
P.S. I went to U of A too! I miss Tucson… 🙂
Hi Shannon! Sorry for the late response – my plate is a bit full right now, but if I will definitely keep your site in mind for the future! Thank you for reading and for the great offer!
Saw the t-shirt quilt on Pintrest and said oh my word its another Alpha Phi!

Need mommy help!
I am a Chandler, AZ mom of three great kids ages 3-8. During our trips to the library, I was discouraged by the lack of “meaningful” book selections for my two boys, finding that most middle-grade fiction was “entertainment only.” I wanted them to read books like the ones I loved as a kid, ones with “a moral to the story”. So, I decided to write what I lovingly call “a modern day fable”.
The Inbetweens (now available on Amazon.com and Kindle Direct) is an action packed adventure that follows three young protaganists during their one day cross-country “coming of age” journey. It is aimed at an audience of 6-12 year olds. I am reaching out to AZ moms and dads in hopes that you will read my novel and provide a review for possible inclusion in advertising and promotion.

I’ve been browsing your site and I love it. I like that besides your posts you have other resources as well. I am a mom of a thirteen year old daughter so as she approaches adulthood I want to be able to prepare her for what life’s curve balls she may encounters. So I am always into self-help and the advice of others. I look forward to following you and the other’s who’d you recommend. Have a great day.
Thank you so much for the complement and for reading! 13 – yikes. I’m a little afraid at 4 what Baylor can do let alone as a teenager!
A little snark and sass are always a good thing especially in the blogging world because laughing is one of the most awesome activities around. I do like the blog, it’s classy snark 🙂
