Cyndi Baker writes from her faux victorian sofa in Boulder, Colorado, gathering her inspiration from a neon-crazed teenager, chess-playing preschooler, and bike-racing husband. There is a Bengal housecat stalking around there somewhere, too.

Her blog, The Boulder Housewife, has been around since 2006 and tells the story of living and loving in Boulder, Colorado. Cyndi's work can be found there and on the food pages at Salon.com, where her blog posts have been republished as articles and Editor's Picks.

Cyndi can play pool fairly well, run into things for no reason, and light a match with one hand. She is available as a guest blogger, database developer, and drinking buddy.
