Karen Rinehart writes and rants about married life, motherhood and grown daughterhood as the antidote to mom jeans and carpools.  A 21^st century Erma Bombeck, Karen’s columns about all stages of childrearing, marriage and caregiving, intermingled with her love wine and a cold Miller High Life on the beach, have been syndicated since 2002 via Media General newspapers.  Her vlogs and popular observations on suburban life float merrily around the universe via websites including CatholicLane.com, TheWorkingCaregiver.org,  CatholicExchange.com,   Indpendentribune.com and Columnists.com, plus are happily and frequently forwarded from one friend’s inbox (not a euphemism for uterus) to another’s, worldwide.  

Over the years, Karen has won kudos and awards from groups like the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, Erma Bombeck Writing Contest, HumorAndLife.com and her mother, but Karen's most thrilled and delighted when readers tell her they clipped and posted her column on their refrigerator door! High praise indeed.

Karen is a frequent guest humorist, mommy and Instant CareGiver expert on TV and radio shows, spouting off on timeless themes featured in her first book, Invisible Underwear, Bus Stop Mommies and Other Things True To Life.  The July, 2011 release of Knitting With Hospital Gloves: The How-To Guide for Instant Caregivers addresses a serious issue we'll all face, but in Karen's trademark humorous and concise, easy to read style. Fans are still waiting for her to write the book about maintaining Hot Mom status on a Lukewarm Budget.  In the meantime, check out her videos for some hints!
