Samantha Darby Sollenberger

Samantha Darby Sollenberger is a freelance writer and professional actress living in Georgia (When we say "professional actress," we mean that sometimes she is paid in beer). She is married to her nerdy country boy, David, and stepmama to Chloe and Trey (Yes, she's friends with their mom and stepdad). She believes in having a positive stepparent experience and truly believes that if you think about the kids first, it's really not that hard to become one giant, non-traditional family. She also enjoys watching I Love Lucy, being crafty and quoting Ace Venutra: Pet Detective. You can follow her story at fairytangles.com, which is pretty much a Walt Disney production (y'know, if Snow White had a foul mouth).

What was your favorite toy as a child?

Anything miniature and my baby dolls. I used to set all the dolls in my lap and pretend like we were at Olan Mills having our picture taken (Quality play, you guys).
