Witty, whip-smart, and irreverent, Sweetney chronicles the life of Tracey Gaughran-Perez, an overeducated thirtysomething single mom from Baltimore. Steward of a spirited first-grader and a psychotic pug, Tracey also co-runs the very popular entertainment & gossip blog
MamaPop, and has been featured on Good Morning America, NPR, CBC Radio (Canada), and in print media such as The Washington Post and The Baltimore Sun. Described by one reader as "a big wet tongue-kiss for all the stuff you wish you knew about first... where the cool girl schools the rest of us," Sweetney has attracted a devoted fan-base.
