Michelle Murphy

After 15 years in the advertising industry, Michelle quit her Vice President role in dramatic fashion (at some point she'll blog about it, but the wounds are still fresh). Her glass of wine and Xanax were not potent enough to combat the stress of "Leaning In" so she leaned as far out as possible. She now enjoys freelancing and only takes on clients that make her laugh and pay on time. She met her husband Brandon at their 10-year high school reunion and they have two sons: Jayce (4) whose head is in the clouds and Cy (2) who's round as a meatball. She also shares her home with two rescue mutts, Orlando (who's smarter than a fifth grader) and Roscoe (who pees on his own leg). Life is good.

What was your favorite childhood toy?

A cardboard box. My older brother would box me up and drag me around the house and down our two stairs. Yes, we had just two stairs. Wow, two stairs and a cardboard box … I think I need to stop buying my kids so many toys!
